some micro reminders

1 - biggest leak at micros is calling too much. Plug this leak yourself, exploit it in others
2 - you constantly underestimate how much of your winnings come from fish
3 - it's easier to make money from fish when you're in hands with them
4 - it's a rare fish that raises vs big heat without a hand they perceive as the nuts
5 - everyone sucks at ranges, perceived nuts is a weird concept
6 - value-fucking-bet. End of story
7 - fancy bluff lines aren't where da gold's at
7a - being caught bluffing in small pots is great for getting no respect in big pots -> see comment at very end of post
8 - big hands, big pots
9 - it's easier to build big pots if you don't fucking check
10 - people suck at bet-sizing
11 - implied odds are nice, you don't always have to raise draws - but you should sometimes. Betting draws is nice.
12 - pot odds are nicer
13 - some recent evidence:
