So I have been playing stakes ranging 5$ - 88$ MTTs

5$-10$ MTTs
Play is straightforward as each player is playing his own game. * they will step out of bounds as all under circumstances
Tables have regs Not many dead money players mainly tight and passive strategy being adopted and a whole lotta folding.
Players understand each others actions and raises
Solid/tight Range
Double Barreling is common
Double Barreling with nothing is rare
check re-raises mean your opponent has strength


22$ - 88$ MTTs

Wider ranges and really good tight gears both passive and aggro
Balanced 3 bet range with non premium holdings
Can understand and read opponents
bet sizing,patterns and advanced strategy AND THE ABILITY TO PLAY BACK when appropriate/adjust
SB folds and reraises/squeezes more
Cbets are more common and bet more uniquely 1/4-3/4
Check raising a Villians C-bets more often with a wider range now including draws coupled with bluff and fold equity
SPR is better taken into account for shortstacks and causes tighter aggressive shortstack play
Floating a cbet in position becomes viable
Floating a C-bet out of position becomes more common
Check raising a C bet with a BLUFF also becomes more common and *Extremely Viable to shutdown the constant C-betting aggro in position*
Cbets become less scary and carry less weight
Understanding of ICM and ability to fold to 1 BB on the Final table to go up that one finish place.
Adjusting to shorthanded ranges and playing appropriately





Alright I could go on for quite a bit longer or infinitely lol
Hope you guys take these words with you on your stakes jump. Its a shark eat Fish world out there gl

The percentage of really bad players definitely drop, as you move up. On a site like pokerstars its quite noticeable even from something like 1,5$ 45 man SnGs to 3,5$ 45 man SnGs.
