I had a deep run in one of the $5.50 games, think I lost HU, can't remember now. But yeah standard was ridic poor. People raising blinds x3, regardless of ante size and thus pot size. So you'll see a raise to 15 in a 1k+ pot. lol.
I was generally raising to around 80-90% of the pot, though I sort of plucked that number out of thin air. Not sure what optimal is, but that sizing served me ok.
Once antes were 100+, l/f became standard play pre flop, or l/c is villain makes a retard raise. I was seeing a flop by limping something like once an orbit on average, though it became harder to limp later on. But with antes getting even bigger, one doesn't need to see nearly as many flops.
Also, you get muppets who MUST DEFEND BLIND at all costs, like limps to them, and they RAISE BIG with like ace rag or some shit that would be faaaaar better off taking the flop, then 99 or something like that that limped ep shoves and they make a dumb call. Shit like that goes on a lot.
They are much softer than standard games, but with the structure, once the antes get running it becomes more and more of a turbo, you reach the point where a steal an orbit becomes an absolute necessity, rather than a preference.
I tend to consider push/fold stage to be around 6M, or around 50 antes. I have no idea if this is correct.
