Don't bluff if they call light, but you can widen your value bet range to include weaker hands.
I raise hands thah flop well (KQ, JT...) to 60 and hands that don't (AK, K9) to 70. Not sure if this is good or not, just something I do (obv if villain is thinking then raise all to the same amount)
also I play micros too so use with caution
Agree with much of this but I think the bold statement oversimplifies and leaves a lot of money on the table. In my limited experience, if you divide the micro limp-callers into buckets, one of the larger groups are players who are completely face up postflop. If they flat smallish cbets they have weak-medium SDV. Against them, you are burning money with small bluffs but you can get half their stack in then fold them out with a bet-bet-shove sequence when the board cooperates.
I think the key is to realize that limp-callers will have varied postflop tendencies. You need to be flexible and react to what you see:
- Are they trappy or face up?
- Are they always firing at the flop when you check?
- What size / how many cbets do they call with middle or bottom pair?
- And obv, you want to know their range for limp-calling and adjust your raising range accordingly
[Same caveat as Benjamin ]
