Harvey if you're saying we should c-bet 40% of pot when we miss (and obviously if we hit we would bet more than this for value) then this is very exploitable. I don't agree that you'll be able to use this style all the way up to 200nl. Even some of the weaker players at 50nl/100nl etc. will be able to see through this, especially as most of them will think on a basic level that small bet = weakness.
In Response to Re: Advice wanted? : of course! 1. 2 overs might even be good so it would turn into a bet for value without you realising. 2. more likely to be semi bluff than stone cold bluff with 2 overs etc. 3. people do fold at micro stakes, they fold very easily to c bets, fold over 50% of flops to c bets according to 100k micro stakes hands i have. people say never bluff at micro stakes, message should be more dont fire many multiple barrel bluffs without a strong draw or good turn card. Fire once and give up generally works well. Obvs you are unlikely to get people off 2nd pair and they never fold top pair unless they are not terrible. But 1 barrel usually is very profitable.

Ok cool, I never knew the fold % was so high at the micro stakes. Definitely worth c-bet bluffing most boards then, seeing as we only need to make them fold about 40% of the time to make it profitable, and that's not even including the times when they call our flop c-bet bluff and then we hit on the turn etc.
How do you get those stats off here btw? Or is it hands from a different site?

ya my c bet is like 80-90% i think. and its from holdem manager on FT.
its the common misconception with micro stakes, people never fold.
Yes you get some calling you down with 3 high. But most just play fit or fold on the flop and so fold a ton of the time and there is just dead money hitting you in the face.
snap call, you has overpair and draws bricked, you beat a good portion of his value range (you now beat all hsi flopped 2pair) and you also beat all his bluffs.
balance is generally overated imo, you should just play maximally exploitative at small stakes. just be aware that as you move up people will take more notice of you so super obvious things like bet sizing tells will cost you alot of money in the future

I was thinking of how much to bet, time running down, ended up checking. I knew this was awful at the time, unsure why I checked but there you go.
Right, next step, another 6 falls and player goes insta all-in.
Call?
