i made the switch at the beginning of summer and imo you'll have a much easier time moving from FR -> SH rather than SH -> FR. obviously you'll be in more pots in SH but i really don't think it's necessary to change your whole game. just know that the early positions have "disappeared" and then keep playing your usual game. at first i kept my game the same and everything seemed to be fine. i started getting paranoid that people were running over me so i overadjusted a bit and the results suffered.
the main difference is that you are involved in more pots since average VPIP is gunna be much higher ~23% compared to ~14% at fullring. this is a good thing because you will improve quicker and start to work on parts of your game that you didn't really consider in fullring - both pre and postflop.
can't just say what's different between the two because that would be too simple
. i played FR recently and imo it was a nitfest full of people setmining and fish cold calling 3bets lol. so i'd say SH tends to be more aggressive preflop... also the ranges will be somewhat weaker postflop but can't say anything other than give it a few hands. get a small sample and if you can get used to the (slightly) increased action then all is good!
also, there will be an increase in variance. that's just because of the looser ranges in play and it can/will also work in your favour at times!
if you are looking for an article to say it for you, then there's
this one, which i'm sure you've probably already read lol.
gl!
and p.s. after a few k hands at SH you will slap yourself for not moving sooner
