Re: What\'s the biggest difference between 2/5 and 1/2?
The whole world doesn't play NL, please clarify in the future. Also discuss the card rooms you generally play in, the game structures will make a huge difference. You will get much better responses if you take my advice.

Re: What\'s the biggest difference between 2/5 and 1/2?
There are in general two primary differences between 1/2 or 1/3 and 2/5...
1) The ratio of really bad players to players that have a clue is smaller. While it is common to only have one or two "skilled" players at a 1/2 table, you will see 2-5 on a 2/5 table. 2) You play with $5 chips instead of $1 chips, at least when posting the blinds.

Yellow ($5) games start at 2/3 blinds and above. 10/20 NL are played with brown $10 chips. Because of buy in caps a 2/5 in Vegas will play far tougher than a 2/3 or 3/5 game in LA.

Re: What\'s the biggest difference between 2/5 and 1/2?
In Vegas, all but one 1/2NL game is a red chip game (even the $50 max at Luxor is a red chip game). There is only one white chip NL game in town (Fiesta Henderson).
Outside of Vegas, though, some houses do some wierd stuff (like the $100 max white chip game at Morongo).

Re: What\'s the biggest difference between 2/5 and 1/2?
The TAGs will be better, but that doesnt mean theyre more of them at the table. Generally the games in AC are a lot more loose and somewhat more aggro. Youre going to see a lot more gambling tourists at 2/5 since buying in for $200-300 seems small but the possibility of losing a grand at 5/10 is somewhat daunting. They go inbetween and choose 2/5.

Re: What\'s the biggest difference between 2/5 and 1/2?
What about places like the Bellagio where 2/5 is the lowest game in the room? Still tough-ish?
The Bellagio had a 1-2 game last week when I visited there.
