    1. If someone folds to flop continuation bets a whole lot, you can adjust by c-betting flop more.

    2. If someone calls the flop continuation bets a whole lot and folds to a turn continuation bet a whole lot, you can adjust by c-betting turn more.

    3. If someone folds their blinds pre-flop a whole lot, you can adjust by opening for a raise OTB more.

    4. If someone raises flop continuation bets a lot, you can adjust by checking to him more and c-betting less.

    5. If someone calls down multiple streets with any piece, you can adjust by valuebetting him more and bluffing less.

    6. If someone open-raises a very wide range pre-flop and doesn't 4-bet a wide range, you can adjust by 3betting his openers more.

    7. If someone open-raises a very tight range pre-flop, you can adjust by folding before the flop more.

    note: it's default adjustment, we can't call with speculative hands if we don't know how this player responds to aggression. He may pay off too much or lay down too often, but we must know this before calling his raise.

    8. If someone continuation bets the flop a lot of the time, you can adjust by raising flop/folding preflop more.

    note:
    -raising flop vs wider ranges, when there's exploitable gap between villain's bet/fold and bet/(not fold) ranges
    -folding preflop vs tight preflop ranges (supernits will have stronger hand on flop on average, so their c-bets will be valuebets more often, by default)
