Post BF .05/.10c 3-6 handed.
I'm not advocating that others play this way, but if you want to, it's important to know why the stats are the way the are (ibf rungood). From what I remember (it's been a while since I sat at .05 cent game), regs did not play very well out of the blinds, and were generally very predictable (robotic play). Fish were well...fish. My ideal arrangement for that stake was some predictable TAG or two that sits in the blinds when I'm on the BTN and fish anywhere/everywhere else.
IMO, even if one is winning with decent stats or not-so-decent play (be it open limping, c-betting or not c-betting enough, playing too loose/tight, etc), I think there's a lot to be had as a player by practicing decent seat selection and opening up pre-flop (for right reasons, not to meet some stat metric) a bit in the micros as a learning experience. Opening up pre-flop sets up your play post-flop (this is your captain obvious speaking
).
a) Tune your situational awareness and as a result, get/play better.
and
b) it's cheaper to make mistakes at micro level before deciding to experiment as you move up
and possibly
c) get reactions out of your opponents - you see how they react and can form a very good image of how they'll behave in future hands. They become more predictable (see point a).
I know it's only ~10k hands but I felt/feel there's a lot of room to punish fish/regs alike at the microest of micros. Some of those regs from .05 cent played up to .50/1 IIRC and took their flaws with them.
