I'm not really sure what the stakes and/or my style of play has to do with how to play in the specific situation that I described.

But, for your info I'm TAG 18.5/6.7/2.1

The game I described was NL $200 buy, blinds of $1/2

Unless you're trying to say that players at NL $200 are not as good as those at NL $2000, or better than those at nl$25, please explain how the info that I provided changes the optimal way to play in a game that I previously described. The way the game is being played should dictate how you play, not the amount of the blinds or how you generally play in an average situation. Or am I missing something big here?
Thanks
