This is standard rhetoric:
"The micros are the kiddie game. Everybody is a calling station. Don't bluff, value bet, and profit."
People routinely claim that the micro stakes are beatable for 20BB/100+. Yet I find no independent evidence of this. As I've said before:
1.) the rake is brutal by online standards,
2.) the calling stations who make ABC play most profitable are rarer and rarer. Bbad players today aren't usually going to pay off your sets with TPNK anymore. (And even if they do, they aren't full stacked anyway.)
3.) the ratio of tight:loose players keeps going up.
4.) the one third-party source we have, PTR, reports that micro winrates are pretty low across the board.
