I didnt like your reply either (nothing personal)

micro NL is all about playing exploitively rather than optimally. The whole point of playing that small is that youre noticing your opponents tendencies and they arent noticing yours. And they make donk moves.

Poker is always about exploiting opponents mistakes and, as a corollary, not making as many mistakes as they are making. If your opponent makes bigger and more frequent mistakes than you do then you win. It isn't that you stop playing good exploitive poker when you move up, it just becomes that your opponents can exploit you more frequently as well. At that point some game theory type strategies start carrying more weight, but you still are trying to exploit your opponent but you cannot be as aggressive doing this as it leaves holes through which you can be exploited(although I think many players overestimate how often they are exploited and conversely underestimate how much more exploitive they could be).
