Observations at $2nl SH Zoom
So, after 10K hands also a few observations that I made during play...
Pool size
Well first of all, pool is huge. I think it's about 200 entries at the low point and about 800 entries Sunday prime time.
Regs and Fishies
Normally, when you have a playing history with somebody like a reg, sometimes it can quickly become a game within a game. But there does not seem to be a whole lot of that going on here. Rather, regs tend to stay out of my way a lot of the time. I also tend to stay out of their way a bit as well. Why? Because there are so many regulars that if you start this second level game or whatever with every reg, I mean there are just way too many individuals to keep track of. You have to memorize too much, your mind is quickly cluttered and it takes away from your focus of what is going on in the moment. And there are so many fun players and bad players to go after! So I will save these reg wars for higher limits, where there are fewer players to keep track of, and you build a history with each other quicker.
Who is in the big blind?
Rather than going after regs, I kinda have this "unknown-in-the-big-blind? / reg-in-the-big-blind? -double policy". If there is a reg in the big blind or aggressive regs in position of me I open a whole other range than when a unkown is in the big blind. I also 3bet unkowns a lot while I 3bet regs a lot tighter. I show down good hands vs regs most of the time. They probably think I'm tighter than I really am while some unknowns might think I'm a nutcase. But I won't see them again.
Sitting deeper
If you have around 300 bbs or more, people will 3bet you way less often, especially unkowns, because they figure you probably will just call. This is really noticable to me. So I think they fold out their weaker range.
Of course, all of this is in general and generally speaking etc etc.

Look, see for yourself:
