Poll: Your tendencies vs unknown opponents
Playing vs unknown opponents is tricky because you basically have to play by the book and assume your opponent does too. Yet your unknown opponents very rarely play by the book but you have no idea how they differ from 'perfect poker'. So how you should vary your bluffing/valuebetting is not clear.
A good high stakes player once told me that when you're playing the first pot vs an unknown player you should try to play it very aggressively and try to win it. But this style obviously has high variance because you never know when your opponent is the biggest station or for some other reason thinks you are FOS. I will use a somewhat simple example and the key is not to figure out the 'best play' because its an example where I don't think there is one optimal solution.

You are MP with J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] and you make a standard raise to 14$. Button calls you raise as does the big blind.

Turn is 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Big blind checks again after a while. Your plan for the remainder of the hand is
