Damn this is a tough crowd! But you're right... "real" poker.

Okay, sorry but I'm not really looking for a comparison b/n the skill level of the players. I just threw that in but I should have left it out. My real question is on the difference in format. How do the extra chips and longer blind levels affect your play, if at all?
