Micro-stakes is where a good poker player can take a good advantage over his opponents and so will always make a good profit, but for a living playing micro I don't think it's worth it.

Micro stakes are for players who plays only for fun. Earnings are slow of course, but he is good.

Sure, micros are good for learning and eventually moving to larger stakes.

I sometimes win on micro-stakes but not much, but then I try to play at the rates above to raise more, but on micro-stakes play it is hard there are a lot of players who play almost all the cards!

People in micro-stakes don't scare to lost money and play like monkey, but they want to win real money like a fish. These people scare to play on real money.

In micro-bets is not the way.!! What more casual is to climb a little , i think of 5$ is more accommodating , tea to suigintou that bet under micros , it is very difficult, because a lot of players go with letters poor, it only takes many example until you can lose with the best.!!

You can win, but also 1$/day it's a win. You need to set a goal. For example I win at micros, but I can't live on those winnings.

Yes, I believe you can make some money playing at the micro stakes

Seriously though, yes it is possible to make a lot of money playing at the micro stakes but it is usually a better idea to move up to higher stakes where the rake is less of a factor and the money in play is more significant.

The micro stakes are kind of like the ultimate proving ground though. Because if you are ever going to survive at higher limits, then you first need to master the fundamental strategies required to consistently win at the micro stakes.

There are 3 basic parts to this:

1) A solid tight and aggressive poker strategy (TAG)
2) Good tilt control
3) Excellent game selection

This is basically exactly what I have been teaching for many years over on my poker blog:

It is a bit frustrating because of the few winnings but every poker player starts micro stake. With patience and dedication you can have acceptable earnings at these levels.

Yes, you can make money at micro limits, but there is a terrible dispersion and you need much time to beat it
