Questions from a PP Player recently trying PS as well

[w_raedy99]

I am pretty consistent player when playing at PP, having an ROI above 30% in both the $10 and $20 SNG's, as well as having around a 35% ITM for the MTT tourneys I play (I don't keep track with a spreadsheet, so that is a guesstimate, I have made around $1000 from the MTT's).

I have recently started playing at PS for many reasons, to play in the 2+2 tourneys and sharpen my game against good players, to try out the new ante structure, just check out how it compares, etc.

I have struggled quite a bit, with only one ITM finish and that was a 3rd in a $5 SNG. I have been mainly playing the $1,$2,$3 MTT's and then $5 and $10 SNG's. I have a small sample of only around 15-20 games, so I realize perhaps this could just be a downswing, but I seem to struggle much more at PS.

I have been beaten almost exclusively when I had a very signifigant advantage pre-flop, usually 4 to 1, but I am wondering if perhaps I am also not adjusting correctly. It seems on PP when I have bad suck outs, it usually does not cripple me or cause me to be OTM as much. I am not sure if I am being too aggressive pre-flop given the different structure or given the increased stack sizes or perhaps another leak. I am usually very tight early in games and perhaps I should loosen up some given the increased sizes?

I would very much welcome any critiques/suggestions from others who have made the switch or might comment on differences given the structure. Again, I realize 15-20 games could very easily be a downswing but I feel like perhaps I am not playing optimally as well.
