I'm inexperienced at poker and playing on Normal, but yeah I can kind of tell that the players are different. Which is really neat. The only thing I'd been able to pin down is that Strong Bad "bluffs" a lot, throwing around a few thousand dollars a lot in the early game. This was actually pretty effective with me, a newbie, in the first handful of games, but once I noticed that pattern it was pretty easy to beat him.

Something that's probably my imagination, maybe: When The Heavy has a decent lead on most of the players, he throws around noteworthy amounts of money before the flop quite a bit. Max seems to be the only player to do this in the early game, and now I know why.

I think I'll start playing on Hard now. Ill lose a lot more (and just when I finally got my balance into the positives again!) but it sounds interesting.
