Ranging opponents very specific to that exact player. So much edge in just knowing their comfort zones.

Very green players don't understand big pocket pairs at all, especially AAxx. Mainly recognizing stack depths during the hand and how AA can in different situations be bleeding money -or- printing money.
Then eventually players start to think the nuts are out there every hand.. and they become sooo passive.

High level my biggest wth is adjusting to giant disparities in stack sizes. (2/5 plo, some guys have $300 and some guys have $8K)
- live is going to be 5+ multiway.. it is tough to beat the field without position and/or a very good hand
- learn who likes to get it in and run it twice and who dreads getting it in. Learn who slow plays and who doesn't. Learn who "waits for a safe turn" to raise with their nutted hand.
- springboard off of the $300 stacks preflop. (where you raise AA small enough that the short stack shove reopens it for you to 4/5-bet pot-it with AA for $1k+). Same trick can apply with a strong flop too- don't close the action on the short stacks, leave it so you can slam down another bet.
- really think through what can be bet for value on the river.. people check-call K-high flushes and 7-high flushes just the same, so know combinatorics well enough to know exactly how thin value goes.
