I did notice that there is a lot less of donking off chips early. Early on, raises usually mean what they are supposed to mean and whereas in the $5's I'd get paid off by people bluffing in bad spots or just playing poorly in general, the raises at these levels are much more legit. A lot of hands that were easy calls in the $5's I found SHOULD have been easy lay downs in the $11's. I guess that is part of adjusting though.
The $11's (and higher) are definitely one of the bigger jumps in the "less fish" category so you may want to just try tightening up a bit in the early rounds and then make sure your push/fold decisions are sound later.

Good Luck
Poker is easy, it's winning at poker that's hard.
