Fueled by the discussion regarding Crypto players vs Party players from the "Stars 1/2" thread and by the fact that I've moved house from Party to Carr. Sun, I'm wondering what changes should be made to my game now that I face the Crypto 1/2 TPs rather than the Party combo of players.
I've played a couple of sessions without PT and now have registered it, so I'm seeing 27% VPIP, a lot of which have been steals/steal attempts from MP3/LP, even EP with marginal hands. I'm assuming I'm doing this too much. I'm sure as I hit my stride I'll be able to answer this question myself but I'm sure you guys will have some insight into this BEFORE that

27% VPIP is definately too high unless a lot of those hands are at tables that aren't full. When I played 1/2 on crypto, I found that most of the players were bonus whores just looking to not lose money instead of trying to win some. This means that you can blind steal a bit more than usual(maybe even any 2 from button and CO against some of them depending on who is SB and Button if you are CO). Also, these guys tend to play more straightforward poker, so you can almost always bet when checked to in pots that aren't more than 3 or 4 way. You can also respect raises a bit more than at Party. Honestly though if you just got PokerTracker, you should install GT+ and start playing the individual player instead of the table/site and your game will improve more from that than any tips I gave above

I do use GT+, however the slight problem is that i'm new to Crypto, so I have very little info about very few players right now. And datamining isn't possible

You don't really need that many hands to make use of GT+. Even 25 hands is enough to figure out if somebody is a maniac and it is enough to give a good indication about if they are a rock. I mostly just use it to give myself an easier first impression of the players while I'm 4-tabling and then I make the real reads on players without looking at any stats, but instead by what I've personally seen.
