I'm mulling a return to cash games after a nasty downswing at SNGs.

I used to play 50NL and some 100NL, but was never really beating the games for much at all. That being said, I decided the best way for me to return is to start small and crush 25NL.

Let's pretend I know NOTHING about the current state of 25NL.

Five tips on what I need to do to succeed here and in micro-stakes in general?

1. don't bluff too much or even ever.
2. don't be scared to play loose in the blinds versus decent tags.
3. Don't figure the tags for good, they usually aren't. Don't expect them to fold just because you've represented something, they probably won't.
4. Raise big cards versus fish on blinds who call too much. Raise any cards versus people who fold too often.
5. Cbet and giveup a lot versus a lot of different opponents. There's not a ton of playing back.

obviously value bet. I almost never fold overpairs at 25NL, and I think its a leak if you start.

It still depends on the site/tables. At Everest I can usually play at tables with VPIP>70%. You can limp lots of hands there even from UTG because they hardly ever raise but still pay you off if you hit a big hand. Sites like FT rarely have VPIP>50% and aggression as well as folding marginal hands in EP becomes much more important.

Anyone know what's up with Full Tilt 10K cash players and no open tables at 50NL 6 max.

This on account of Party being down?

WTF WTF WTF WTF

AND HOW COME EVERY TIME I FLOP THE A STRAIGHT THE TURN AND RIVER ALWAYS PUT TRIPS ON THE BOARD

GOD DAMNIT

Wasn't quite sure of my plan once I saw the flop... luckily it took care of itself (and also that I wasnt on the other end)

Not shoving that river is really really bad
