Jumping into Stud/8 cash games, but I've got some structure questions

[Aaron W.]

From what I recall, the $.50/1 game at Party Poker has an absurdly high ante ($.25). The ante at $1/2 is also a bit high ($.25). The obvious adjustment seems to be to play faster and looser. With such high antes, will I be picking up a lot of bad habits that I'll need to un-learn as I start to move up in stakes? If so, what are they (so I can be consciously aware of them as I play)?

Are there any general tips for playing these super-large ante games?
