Hey Guys,

A friend of mine has recently moved to Mexico to grind online.  As an American I've barely played online in almost 2 years, and so my main game these days plays quite a bit differently than the ones he's currently playing in (I'm a 5/10 and 10/20 live grinder these days).  Mostly he's been grinding 50nl.

He's been struggling with it a bit so I've been coaching him some and trying to help him out.  

We did some work on preflop and I was surprised to re-discover how tight you have to play against the nitty guys at or <100 bb deep.  Kind of depressing tbh.  

Anyway I have a few question for you guys who play in these games more regularly.

1.  KK Preflop.  I've always come from the school of assuming that getting in KK pre 100bb deep is just completely standard.  Online it seems to be a little bit of a different story.  It seems a lot of guys at these stakes are calling 3bs with KK rather than 4b them to get them in.  Do you guys find the same thing? 

2.  Short Stacks.  These guys are everywhere.  How are you guys adjusting your strategy to deal with guys playing 50, 70 bb short stacking strategies?  I find I have the most trouble giving my friend advice in the 50bb category. Any advice here?  Do you find they have any specific leaks or anything they have trouble adjusting to?  Are you ever flatting?

3.  Stats.  Are there some stat "thresholds" you look for in players?  IE, what do you expect to see things like: turn barrel, Aggression Factor, raise CB, etc. at usually.  The stats seem great but Im so out of touch with HUDs now that I don't have a good feel for what numbers indicate someone who is getting out of line, etc.  

4.  General Play Pool Reads.  Do you guys have any general tendencies you commonly see manifest in these player pools amongst the fish, the regs, etc.  We've played a few spots where fish have spazz shoved into us and it's a little confusing to say the least.  

Thanks guys I really appreciate it
