I think your internalized type of "formulaic" play works really well when there are at least 1 or 2 fish at the table but you make an interesting observation about the importance of knowing your opponents. that's why i'm going to try to focus on single tabling sngs and taking good notes, since I think to take your game to the next level you need the ability to make these quick, accurate judgement calls about your current villains. you need to remember tendencies and let it influence your "feel" for the players.
