I don't have extensive experience with either, but my impression is that the difference in the competition's skill between the 33s and the 54s is pretty minor. There's nowhere near the vast gulf in skill level you find between the 22s and the 33s.

-"Also, I'd put the quotes around "real" instead of around "poker." "-

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?

More post flop play.

Chances are better post flop players will do better, and games will take longer.

Ok, since I was a jerk, I'll try and give an decent answer. That big a jump in chips should make for a lot slower play, but higher ROI if you are good with more chips. I don't think the ROI will jump enough to overcome the difference in time, but you are playing for more money so you probably should still make more $/hr assuming you are more than marginally beating the game.
