in my cardroom, the 2/5 players do occasionally move down to 1/2 when a game breaks or whatever, and even if they don't, faces are recognizable. So you should expect to win at a lower bb/hour at the bigger game.I've found personally in 2/5 that top pair hands become more significant money-makers (relative to sets) because of the villains' bluffing more.2/5 is certainly more aggressive (can't get much more passive than your average 1/2 game.), especially if you're a recognized 1/2 player who is moving up to 2/5. There's some positive correlation between their perception and their skill level, generally.
Maybe.Probably not.If there's a 1/x game and a 2/5 game, then the players who perceive themselves to be good will play the 2/5.
