If I've seen the other players already give up their chance to be aggresive and kill each other, then I'll jump in an push. If, however, I'm IN position and can wait to see if at least two of the other three are going to play with each other, then I'll sit back and see if they'll put me in the money. If ONE of them is in, and the other two have passed, I'll only be agressive with GOOD cards. If I have to act first, I'll be MUCH more conservative. In just four hands I could see all the different combinations of players going after each other, and all but one (me against the leader) are good for me. I would play passive/agressive.

If chip leader is tight I steal as much as possible. The short stacks will not call AI with 5 6 suited most of the time. Leader position is the most important not the button unless the others are labeled FISH. I play the players, if chip leader is a donk (most are) I play top 3 hands AI pre.

If they have been aggressive, i'll play passive. If they've been passive, i'll be agressive. But, more often then not, i'll just play stupid.

We have between 3K and 4K (3,500 avg). Blinds are 750 an orbit (no ante).
