I know a lot of you play on PS/Absoulte and those games are tough. I respect your play and know you would kick my ass if I came to play in your house.

These hands are typical although I do meet some good players.

My question is this. Are my game conditions different enough to make ajustments to usual strategy and if so by how much?

The table had been playing at 42/12 however one of the fish just busted out.

Ive just been clearing some bonii on some smaller sites and I really didnt realize how much tougher poker stars really is...

The only difference is to play a more value betty style, minimize turn value checks, respect agression more, tighten up your preflop 3-betting range, tighten up in the big blind a bit and make slightly bigger folds than you would at an agressive poker stars game.

Of course if you get an agro monkey at these games, ignore my advice.

Didnt look at your hands cause im in a rush sorry.

Maybe it's just because I play at 1/2 and you all seem to play 3/6-5/10, but I think PokerStars is still very fish-laden at that limit. I often see may tables with 2 loose passives on it. When I don't, there's 15 other tables to choose from.

Absolute (non BBJ tables) on the other hand, is a total TAG-fest.

I've only played Full Tilt/Absolute/UB/and Stars the last 5 months and if a table gets below 40VPIP I move unless I've got a big fish to my immediate right. I think there are good games at other sites if you table select. Last night on Absolute I had 2 very good tables at 3/6. At night these games get very loose.

No excrement. If you find a nice little fishing hole, don't alert Starkist.
