I am looking for advice how to estimate individual hand strength in function of opponent's hand range(100bb deep). I am getting confused sometimes in spots where ranges are wider then "usual" (hu, sb vs bb , btn vs blind ).
For example today i played a guy who opens 70% SBs, i defended K9o which is maybe a bad ideal maybe not, probably i should make a lots of bluffs to make it +EV.
But i defended and flop came 975ss which on the villain cbetted and i decided to RR thinking it is probably strong vs his 70% open range, i havent checked cbetting stats but it is probably about 60-70%.
So i checked in flopzilla and he beats me on flop instantly 10% of time .. and i used this number as a i guideline so far(meaning if a hand get beaten on flop only 10% or less it is strong enough to stackoff).
So i guess this method is pretty coarse and i dont even know if it is right, any advice would be much appreciated for estimating hand strength. ^^

" where the game at all stakes should be playing at the same skill level right? "
To this to be true it should mean that an NL5 player plays/learns/works as much as the Nl1000 player, but for 100-200x less profit. I dont think that will be the case. The more effort you put in the higher stakes you should be able to play for more profit. Past times when the game was new, with very few good player, lots of weak regs/fishes poker become attractive for ppl because the effort was small compared to the reward. Now it is more balanced and goes toward equilibrium, it is not that easy to make money, the system becomes more "just". I dont think that a new player will be willing to put in an infinite amount of effort/stress/study just to beat NL100 for shitty money.. it is easier to work in a "mcdonalds". So in conclusion i dont think that skill level will be close regardless of stakes.
Yes it is partially true, but keep in mind in poorer countries they dont have the infrastructure a lot of the time(internet), or even a high-school education which makes it more difficult to master poker.
