At every stakes, you will find fish.
A solid winning player at NL400$ will be a pretty nice fish at NL2000$ if he never played this game. The game change when you're going up of course.
Everything under NL50$ is about the same, mostly bad players and good beginners that will burn these levels pretty fast and move to higher limits.
After, NL100$ and 200$ are about the same, maybe i little bit more agressive at 200$ but there is still plenty of fish with stat like 40/10/1 for short-handed play.
Above, you have to be ready for agression. It's a shark's world and they want to eat right into your plate. Steal and resteal are a big part of the game. The swing are bigger also. But they think over there... think of what you have, what you think they have, they try to represent exactly what you think some time to make you make big mystakes. and they even think of what you think they think you have... They are really playing poker, but the nice think is that they spot pretty fast a bad player and thye play ABC poker against him... The poor guy never know what hit him before it's to late... He sees big bluff, all-in bluuf being called by top pair but when he call a big bet, they always have to goods.
But you would not beleive some fish that called all-in preflop bet for 5000$ with some garbage like T7s... they were suited like they say...
So every stake has his big fishes, they just have less and less when you go up. The nice thing is that since the rake is minimum over there compare to the bets, a very good % of the player are winners, because they only need some big whale to leave some 20K$ and they mostly split it between them self because they are about the same caliber.
