I basically play nothing but live home games with friends and the occassional online freeroll / donkfest. Basically the only legit real-money games that I play (home games), I play with people whose styles I know quite well.

In fact, I've realized how important knowing someone's playing style is: I play differently against a tight-as-an-***hole, honest injun player than I do against the aggressive, compulsive-bluffer type, and passive any-two type players.

Okay enough useless background; the question: how should I play if I was to sit down at a casino table with strangers... or join another circle of players who I've never played with? Pretty boring but I'm curious.
