The short answer to this is when you're consistently beating the 1/2 cent competition AND you have the bankroll (read 'rilla's bankroll management thread at the top of the Hold'em Strategies index).

I'd be happy to answer whatever questions you have a micro-limit play (assuming it's no limit...not experienced enough with limit to comment), but I really need specific questions to answer. Otherwise all I have to say is follow the starting hand recommendations on the main page at www.flopturnriver.com, be careful about playing hands too far when you don't have a hand, raise raise raise when you do have the hand, and try to work on reading people and not being easy to read yourself. Specifics on each of those items can (and frequently have) been the subject of individual threads.

The biggest parts of reading people online are: paying attention to betting patterns (how much they bet in a specific type of situation) and paying attention to how long they take to act in a specific situation. You won't know until you see what they do/what they have what a given item here means, but eventually you can and when you do, try to assign it a meaning. Conversely you want to be as consistent as possible with how much you bet if you bet and how long you take to act in order to keep people from reading you. Once you pick up on what different things typically mean for other people, you can even start reversing them to make others think you're playing a certain type of hand when you're actually playing something completely different.
