Usually, when I visit a gym I am trying to improve my game via that gym's skill set. So I intentionally grapple people against their strengths. It's not a winning strategy but I tend to learn more. That being said, my ego does at times get the best of me, or we get somebody visiting our gym and I end up utilizing an optimum strategy for the win.
aggressive opponents - stifle them in lockdown or with an overhook guard/rubber guard. Control them until they slow down and then attack
patient opponents - pass and smash. every moment they wait should be a grinding and excruciating experience underneath me. I want to keep moving, so I never get tied up or stalled out.
larger opponents - try to arm drag to the back. if i end up underneath then i try to sweep from half guard.
wrestlers - stifle them in guard and then attack via rubber guard or at least with an overhook
judo practitioners - leg locks, low wrestling attacks to avoid getting thrown, exploit my guard work
10th planet - leg locks, avoid 1/2 guard and guard... try to pass to North/South.. if on bottom, bait the baby wipe pass, stall them and counter with an underhook
BJJ opponents - knee pass them when they pull guard, smash the head... leg locks
