My opponent was more on a tight aggro side preflop, but kind of loose passive after the flop.

I want to know how do you play microlimit headsup, is the game totally different than say 7$ and 15 $ buyin ?

Flop: (160) Q

(2 players)

turn cards really not a card i'd be barrelling, most of his range OTF that chkcalls is a pair + gs/oesd so the 4 OTT changes nothing, also he can put you on spades (low stakes players tend to put people on flush draws alot and use that as an excuse to call a bunch with 2nd pair or in this case worse)

I wouldn't barrel this hand on this board without reads vs anyone.

Just stick to these rules when barreling:
1. Barrel when you have equity(SDs/Fds)
2. Barrel scare cards that don't hit your opponent's range but can be in your range.
3. Barrel when you have top pair+.

Not a great board to cbet, a lot of pairs, draws, pair+draws are in his PF calling range, so you'll get floated or raised a lot.

Turn is a bad 2b card, It doesn't change the board texture. All those pairs/ pair + draw hands don't mind the offsuit 4 so it's still not a good board to barrel.
