At Stars the 5NL and 10NL games have blinds of 0f .01/.02 and .02/.05 respectively. I'm wondering how one should change their approach as opposed to games with 100bbs. I've been raising preflop anywhere from .10 to .18 at 5NL. That's pretty weak if the blinds were .02/.05, but they seem higher than standard with .01/.02. I still get a ton of action with those raises, but I don't see anyone else betting quite that much. Still, I wonder if I would be better off betting .20 - .40. The blind structure feels weird to me, and I wonder if I would be better off just pretending that the blinds are really .02/.05 and sizing my bets accordingly.

As a side note, my inflated winrate in PT makes me feel manly

Funny... I play exclusively at UB, and the options are $2NL or $10NL with .01/.02 & .05/.10 respectively. So you've basically got my $2NL game but with the option for a deep buyin... and basically a $5NL game based on the .02/.05 blind size. I'd treat them as such in terms of how people play, 'cause I think you're gonna get the same mentality. I find the $2NL extremely erratic w/ people playing for beer money... and can't imagine a $5NL is much different. I think people are playing the blind size much more than the stack at that level so expect to see 50%+ flop participation... and a ton of suckouts. I don't think people find the fold button until at least a .10/25 equivalent game either... so you should be able to suck a lot of people along much deeper for your made hands, but will take much bigger bets to push people off where you want to thin the field or isolate.

If it bothers you not buying in for 100bbs, then buy in for 100bbs. If you need to play at these stakes, it's probably not a bad idea. I started rebuilding my roll at 1c/2c on stars doing that and multi tabling.
The poker gods love me really, they are just testing my faith !

Miffed22001 is on a distinguished road
id buy in 100bbs deep and then all decisions are ABC simple. otherwise just isolate as normal and adapt your pushing ranges etc versus being 200bbs deep.
