    When antes kick in, open up, when you have big stack, open up, when someone is opening a lot, 3 bet them, when someone is 3betting a lot, 4 bet them.

    Sorry. Look for players who do not seem to want to commit their stacks, especially near bubble situation and abuse their blinds/opening raises. The best way to learn IMO is to experiment. Good article:

    Establish a good feel for how your tables playing, and base it off of that

    Most players can be out playd easily after the flop in micros once they are deep. Just try things out. Just opening alot inposition and cbeting flop is usually enough.

    if your looking to play agro you need to know the situation and have some sort of read on the situation/player. dnt just make a play becuase you want to make a play make a play for a reason. if you think twice about the move you think you should make dont make it and play ABC till you think the situation is correct

    remember too the stakes you're playing dictate a lot. I play a lot of $10 tourneys and you can ABC your way all the way to the final table. Many times in lo buy-in I don't open up till people start getting antsy about making real money, lets say 1% of field remaining.
