i wouldn't suggest anything for Micro-LIMIT because i haven't played limit in years. For micro-NL I would suggest counter-play. But you have to read counter-play theory (in my counter-play post to see if it applies to the tables you play. Generally micro-limits is NO FOLDEM HOLDEM. And in that case you will be "donkey kicked" often enough that it's not variance - it's neg EV. So, you adjust your tactics - hence Counter-play.

My real recommendation, if you know how to play poker at any reasonable level, is not to play micro-nl. You don't have to bump much on some sites $50 NL is good enough to get preflop callers to around 50% and continuation bets or pot sized bets can get drawing hands to fold. What's the difference. It's 2005, $25 is not real money. Decide your poker game is worth $150, and play the $50NL table. When in doubt tighten up. Did I say Tight? I meant T-I-G-H-T. When in doubt crank down the screws and get tighter preflop. when in doubt on the flop, raise or fold. Agression buys pots, but it also buys information. wanna know if your tptk is good when someone else leads the betting, raise him! He'll tell you. Then believe him.

Got it? the answers are Counter-play.... screw counter-play and move up in stakes. Learn how to play TAG poker, TIGHTY IS RIGHTY.... LEFTY IS LOOSERY.

pick a number, either 4 or 5xbb preflop to always raise if you're going to raise. then play the hand as appropriate. keep them guessing and lay the hand down if you're beat.
