Great another TPE pro on Lock! It's getting tougher by the day lol.
Well done – takes a bit of adjusting to the style of play on Lock.

Quite hard to explain as I dont know where you've played before, but I'm comparing it to Stars and Ladbrokes.
At the lower stakes primarily there is quite a lot of play that you could imagine going on in home / local games examples:-
Flat calling of 3bets OOP, then snap shoving the flop into you.
Significant defending of BB with almost any 2cards – the mentality seems to be “it's my BB and I'm not giving it up without a fight”, especially to late position opens but often to an open from any position. And some significantly spazzy play in defense of the BB.
Betting lines are different, hard to give examples but a simple one that stands out is full pot Cbetting by the opener regradless of the number of people in the hand. I've seen someone full pot Cbet into 2 players for about 1/2 of their stakes and insta fold to a jam? The flip to this is they dont seem to believe you have it if you haven't bet big on the flop (or turn), obviously this can be used to great advantage.
Very little preflop 4betting without AA/KK – again this can be used to advantage but you have to be careful with spot as you'll often get flatted by JJ, QQ, KK.
A hell of a lot of “I wanna see a flop” type play.
There seems to be a lot less 'technical / levels thinking' type players, although a lot of TPEers (inc pros) seem to be coming to the site.
Obviously you get some of this type of play on any site but certain things stand out as overal trends of the general play rather than indivual specifc.
Hope this helps.
