Default $22/180 Advice Please

I recently won a stake in this game and was wondering if anyone here has played it before. I know the 12/180 are turbo and super crazy, but I would think that 22/180's are not as crazy. Is there much difference from the 4/180 and the 22/180? I'd appreciate any advice.
Thank you
Cali

They are pretty much identical except when it comes down to the wire the 20's tend to be a bit tighter.

So then I will just play my normal game and hope for the best.
Well I am registered but it seems to be taking forever to fill up.

I usually wait for the scheduled $22 180-max person tourneys. The SNG ones take forever to fill up.

The ones i play start pretty much everyday at 2:15am eastern, i'm not sure of their other times. But you may be able to squeeze it in over there by the pacific

P.S. nice full house.
