These are my random thoughts, I'd be interested in hearing what others have to say...
1) I think that my ITM and ROI will be slightly higher.
2) Full games are lasting ~6 minutes longer. This is more than I had expected.
3) I've had to tighten up my tendency to push until later in the game or until I have better hands.
4) The fish still suck. Lower blinds actually give them more ability to misplay and make mistakes.
5) Due to the slower games, I am adding an extra table so that my $ / hour does not suffer. This is not a big deal since I currently am only 3 tabling and should have added more tables anyway.
6) It's no big deal, but it feels very odd seeing so much post-flop play at the later levels. Alot of post-flop play on the bubble even. As I said, I've noticed that the 75-150 level merely has allowed my fishier opponents to get themselves into trouble. So far, I've had the luxury of being much more patient with marginal cards on the bubble and just sitting back and watching my opponents get involved in all kinds of post-flop fireworks.
It feels really weird getting ITM this way so often. This has been over a small sample size (70 games) so maybe it's too early to make any judgments...
7) As some of us have written recently, BBs seem to be calling more when faced with SB pushes. I had planned on being a bit more selective in these spots anyway, and the new blind structure seems to promote being more selective as well.
Also, as a follower of PVS's advice on levels 3 and 4 play, I'd be interested in seeing any revisions that he thinks are appropriate.
Anyone else have any early thoughts on what they've seen so far?
