differences in stakes (low content)
basically the same concepts of NL apply to all stakes, the only difference being as you go up stakes, more of the players are aware of these concepts and thus play better, making fewer mistakes, etc.
after reading posts of 50/100 and 5/10, is there really a difference in how these hands play, provided that the amount of big blinds in the stacks are same, such as against an unknown? or is there a general skill level that 50/100 players have that 5/10 players would not possess (obviously, i suppose)? i guess what i'm trying to ask is, out of curiosity, what levels seem to show the biggest gap in skill level, and what types of players are there at the higher end (ie 25/50, 50/100) compared to the lower end, and what strategy adjustments, if any, should be made when playing the high stakes?

Re: differences in stakes (low content)
basically the higher the stakes, the more aggressive people get. Some start open raising any 2 suited, others willing to call bets with intentions of bluffing a later street. People have a better feel for how good their hand is (for eg. 66 on a 953 flop is probably still good vs a raiser unless they actually have the big pair, whereas some people seem to think their 66 is ONLY good if it flops an overpair). Basically people get very aggressive the higher you get.
