Hello pals, noob question,

I'm going to play Party Poker Main Event this Sunday. Biggest tournament I've ever played and just the second High Stakes MTT I've played (through sattelite, so this tournament means much more to me than to most of the field). I was studying the blind structure on this thing and noticed that at level 21, the blind structure changes from 15 minutes per level to 20 minutes per level (starting stack to blind ratio at this level is 6.25).

Can anyone cast a light on what to look into my strategy in order to take maximum advantage of the blind level time change?


Small questions to help you guys understand what I'm looking for: How much this should impact my starting strategy? Does the value of each chip goes up or down after the level time change? How should this affect my strategy on the levels right before the level time change? How should this affect my strategy right after the level time change? Should I play looser or tighter before the level time change? How this should affect mid/short stack play before and after level 21?

Thanks, pals, hope you guys can give me a litte attention.
