the book is meant for mid stakes nl 3/6 and up. I'm wondering though if this paticular concept can be applied to the micro stakes. In the playing small pairs section of the book cole south talks about the following situation. We are in the blinds with a small pair. A lp player raises.

Stacks are 120bbs effective. He gives 2 ways to play the hand. The first is to 3-bet. That's the line i usually take. Assuming villain isn't a nit. The line i'm interested in is call then c-raise the flop. even if you don't get your set. It balances our range. They will stop thinking we have a set every time we c-raise the flop. It also does a lot to protect out hand. Our 7s or what ever have a good chance of being the best versus an aggro lp player.

It works best against people who have a high c-bet percentage. If some nit is only c-betting 15 percent of flops then he likely has us beat when he c-bets. couple more concepts i want to talk about but lets start with how you all feel about this one
