Party & Stars Structural Differences = Problems for Me?

[Augie]

Any advice or direction appreciated.

I've been playing the Stars $15+1 Turbos. After 500 games I am ITM 43% with an ROI of 21%. That is fine, but I know I have a lot of work to do to improve my game.

However, after 250 Party $11 SNGs, I'm only in the money about 35% of the time, with an ROI of 8%. Yes, I understand these sample sizes are small, but I don't attribute the differences in my ITM/ROI to 'running bad'.

My 1st thought is that I am not correctly adjusting to the structural differences between Stars and Party??? At Stars you get 1500 chips and it is 5min/round, whereas at Party you get 800 chips and 10 hands/round.

My thinking is that these differences would matter most once I get to the bubble. At Party I find myself basically folding or pushing, and if I push with 10BB or less, I can expect to get called.

At Stars, I often have enough chips to raise 2.5BB and play a flop, if necessary. And if I am the short stack at the bubble, I can expect the others to fold when I push.

And if you don't think the structure matters, any ideas why I would be playing worse at Party?
