I've gotten used to being able to represent hands and get people to fold. Here thats just burning money so far. It feels a lot like going back to micro stakes. Very little bluffing, very little levelling, just make good TP type hands and win a lot of small/med pots. In those 3 buyins I won from from when I hit my bottom yesterday, I think only one was a big pot.
do you find that those general styles of play maintain through the different levels or do they differ between levels on a site. In theory if people are moving up through the levels they will be taking a style of play that they have learnt to be successful and trying to apply at the next level up. But then I guess its a case of what % have moved from a lower level , % moved recently from another site and % who have moved across some time ago and adapted to the prevalent style at that level.
Also found the devonshire tea reference above amusing as I don't think you could get much further away from Devon.
