Default Switching from PS to Party adjustments

I have been playing 225-555s on PS for a long time, with pretty good results, lately however the games, especially the 555 (thanks JJ) are totally drying up, and its rare to have more than 1 fish at the table. That coupled with the fact that I can get insane rakeback on party have made me decide to switch and start 8 tabling 200s on party.
Are there any adjustments that one should make when switching? I would imagine the players/structure difference would mean I would need to play slightly differently. Thanks in advance for the help.

I just did this myself. You really need to get good at bubble play. With the short stacks there is not as much post flop play. I usually just play super tight early, so I have a reasonable number of chips left when it reaches level 4.

Edit: I see you said you play the $555's, so I'm sure you are already good at bubble play!

I've just been spending a lot of time with eastbay's sit-n-go analyzer the last few weeks. On Stars, I used to rely on trying to outplay opponents early on and trying to build a big lead going into the bubble, but on Party you have to rely more on outplaying your opponents on the bubble.

How much do you think youve learned from playing around with powertools regarding bubble or 3/5 handed party sng play? I think i play those situations pretty poorly and i'd like to hone my skills in how to asses stack sizes and such.

IMO, this is a must have for anyone who's serious about SNG's. I had no clue about pushing and calling on the bubble before using this.

if u are gonna play more than 15 215 sngs, the price will be more than made up by the increase in roi from using the product

the push/fold ev of the bubble is very important in sngs
