A few days into the microstakes

Seem to be doing all right. 
I'm hoping to 'move up' to 10nl today just a few more buyins at 5nl. 
You can bluff people at micro stakes. There are good spots for it you should just be aware of what range you want them to fold and what range would realistically call you.

I think that spot comes up pretty often, you will get calls on the turn and many folds on rivers.

This one was just a tester to see if i what people will lay down at the limit.
 im not sure if i like it as it as i think most regs would call down overpairs pretty often. I was planning on raising turn and bluff shove river.

This hand is similar to first hand.  I think his small dk bet on the turn is a bit of a blocking bet, like he doesnt want me to barrel the A. I think his range is draws,  9x Tx  maybe even some JJ-KK stuff. Sometimes he might have a strangly playing A2/A9 but i think that is more likely to bet bigger on turn and or CR turn.
