I hear ya Sauce

If there were some sick history I think the difference becomes huge between a "bluff-catching hand" like AK and 88, JJ, AA etc.

Your advice is spot on though without big reads vs a "standardish" player imo.

Smart players could be pushing with hands like 99-JJ here putting villain on a similar range and figuring he folds all similar hands (just in case he were 1 PP lower or something) and takes a crack at folding out AA/KK.

But that's prob more advanced thinking than we typically see at these stakes.
when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?
