best strategy in micro stakes against recreatives

This type of player is the most common in the micro's. A lot of regulars make tons of mistakes aswell and can sometimes be placed in the same category. In general we should allow them to make mistakes. That's the most important thing.

Most of them fold too much to cbets, so we want to cbet a ton on the micro's, roughly at around 70% of the time.

When they call the flop they have a piece of the flop almost always. Either some kind of pair or a draw. We want to bomb the turn a lot with our value-hands, because we want to charge them for draws because they will call and chase anyways.

At the same time we want to slowdown
with our mediocre hands and bluffs.

If they want to gamble we should be perfectly fine with this. When we have a strong holding, let them gamble. Forget about 1/3th potbets, it's perfectly fine to go completely out of line sometimes and overbet or potbet, to confuse, induce or generally allowing them to make mistakes.

hi. i play poker Micro/low stakes i i strungle sometimes to play (most of the time) against the recreative player. because i cant make a range for their hand since they are more gambling than playing poker, and they bet size is irregular. what is your advice when playing against recreatives?

1. Play your made hands aggressive
2. Don't try to bluff
3. When they call or donk bet they have something so don't hang on to your hand.

Very good advice.
Watch for player tendencies — if they fold too much, bet more, especially from the button against blinds that fold too much.
