Took a shot at the next level - what do i do here?
 

Villain is unknown. His stats are useless since theres been about 10 hands so far. I think this is the third hand I raised in a row.

What do you do at NL25?
Do the same thing here and adjust later if you think you should.

What would be your default for NL25? The reason I even ask this though is because the consensus seems to be that NL50 plays much more aggro, which can obviously influence the decision.

Given the above, this is a very easy call.

Do players at NL50 notice things like this? Because to be honest, I dont think they do at NL25, and even if they do, I dont think they adjust too often.

This is pretty tough without a good read. As you can see the equity changes radically if your opponent is only pushing with better hands and combo draws or KQo at worst. If they'll push with ATo, and a few flush draws then you're ahead.

People notice when you keep betting into them ... they might miss that you never play a hand, but they notice being raised a lot.

For 100 BB's at $50 NL I'm calling this all day and twice on Sunday

What range do you put villain on then that makes this such an easy call? Note, the main villain was not the original pf raiser, he cold called my 3 bet.
