Thought I'd post a relatively routine hand that I'm happy with for comment.

Preflop: Is raising pre-flop standard for most of you with this in good position? I've had apparent success with it. Lots of hands that have gone like this one. I was also hoping to buy the button here but to no avail.

The rest felt pretty standard. Hands like this are what make micro so profitable I think. Love being called down by middle pair. I bet MP3 was stoked when he hit his 3 on the river.

On a weak table where they are limping with all kinds of junk, I would usually raise KJo from the CO, if I think there is a chance I can buy the button. Calling with it is not terrible either, IMO.

Rest of the hand plays itself.

Honestly, I don't think you miss out on much by folding here either.

I like the raise given the hands that I saw were brought to showdown, obviously these people are coming in with practically anything, KJ is a monster here.
At a slightly more reasonable table I might limp but then again limping from the CO always seems like a poor plan.
