Having only really played at Party (and clones), I've only played with a 50BB buy-in against other 50BB buy-ins. Even after I become the big-stack most of the other stacks are 50BB or less, so I'm not familiar with play where everyone has fairly deep stacks.

I'm going to try out a couple of different sites for both the deeper experience and to do a little bonus whoring. What are some key differences in play at a 100BB buy-in vs the 50BB buy-in that I'm used to?

I play full tables, but short-handed suggestions are welcome too.

Implied odds go way up. People are more willing to play stuff like pocket pairs and suited connectors for bigger raises in hopes of catching a good flop and stacking someone.

Less pushing (as compared to Party) unless they have a short stack.

tptk, etc become hands you don't really want to play for your entire stack, usually.
