Different bidding patterns

I tend to bid very hard out of the gate. If a card I really want is destined to sail past my max, I want to know that as soon as possible, so I can pivot. I will also respond immediately to outbid notifications and go right over whoever outbid me.

This is usually why I've bid heavy in the early stages in the cases where I've done it. It's often because I have a budget of $X and there are multiple cards I want to win, so I want to narrow down my options. I've also done it when there was another copy of the same card going in a different auction and I don't want to miss out on both copies, so I want to get a feel for what sort of competition I'm up against.
