Same thing that happens in any other game: you get 10 poison counters, you lose. I haven't read otherwise.

Not based on the official Comprehensive Rule 908: Commander Rules. There is the Commander damage rule where if you take at least 21 points of damage from a single commander over the course of a game, you lose. But when I checked the latest rules just now, the poison rules were all the same, dead at 10.

Not that relevant, but in two-headed giant you need 15 poison counters.

You have 30 life right? If that's the case infect is half of whatever your normal life total would be..

Sure, except in EDH/Commander. ;)
If your group plays by different house rules, great!  But officially, it's 10 poison in EDH.  Maybe you should start playing an infect EDH deck?  ðŸ'Œ
