Oh for sure. I don't so much mean a LAgg versus nit thing, as I did that things happen that I don't expect. A guy who plays pretty much mostly TAgg, but I did happen to notice check-raised a river as a bluff once is all the sudden capable of pulling off some insane c/r with air as the PFR. Maybe it's just that changing gears is more of a thing for some of the regs I've happened to play with, whereas white Maryland hicks are just like, "I play the way I play, and at the end of the day, my dick'll be in your butt."
I have also had to fake-reach for chips and fake-start to fold against a lot of asian regs (I do this against a fair amount of regs, but it does seem like most asian regs I really have to be cognizant with). So again, not so much a maniac versus nit sort of thing, as just noticing different parts of the game that I'm not used to casino regs focusing on; moreso on how strong/weak I am and how strong/weak their image is and less-so about what cards they hold in that particular hand.
Again, I'm not just like "slanty eyes! brownish skin! Nevermind that he's wearing an Aeropastle shirt and was born in Long Island, that dude's totally gonna c/r bluff me at some point!!!!" I mean like, dudes who pull up in a 20-year-old car, barely speak English and take a smoke break every orbit. These people clearly come from a different world as I do, and I've noticed that I can't project my standard casino reg degen thought process onto them.
