I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. I'm not saying you're wrong because for YOUR experience, that may be true. For me, $50NL was MUCH different than $25NL and MUCH different than $100NL. I never enjoyed $50NL but did like $100NL and $25NL. I only logged 18k, 71k, and 57k hands @ $25NL, $50NL, and $100NL respectively so it could have been a coincidence or a mental mirage in my head, but it was definitely MY experience ... real or imagined.
But, I welcome the discussion because I think it's good to hear from players who saw little to no difference between stakes because that will be the case for some players.
During one of the videos of the "FullRing Fellowship Dojo" series on DC, DJ Sensei specifically asked his students something along the lines of, "Let me ask you guys, how does a typical $100NL regular react in this situation with this hand range?" ... "I can tell you @ my experiences in $600NL, that this would usually mean this, but you have to know how your players react". This has been my experience as well, so, I again disagree that a nit generally acts and thinks the same way @ $200NL and $2NL - there may be some ways they are alike, but I think there ARE some ways they are not. I wouldn't try to PREDICT those differences ahead of time - you have to experience them yourself and adjust accordingly. Poker is a constant game of discovery - large concepts, small concepts, general behaviors, and specific behaviors.
Some players may overreact to moving up stakes, but it IS a common question and curiosity. I think a general and specific discussion has merit. I hope no one uses any of my information or anyone else's to play badly, but odds are they would have played badly on their own anyway
