taking the jump from 1/2NL to 2/5NL

[lef1000]

im a winning live 1/2NL player who would like to try some 2/5NL Live. What are some of the major diffrences between a 1/2 versus a 2/5? Are there still going to be tons of fish at a place like Borgota at 2/5? What adjustments should i make to my TAG play?

1/2 online is harder than 2/5 live

[lef1000]

im aware that 1/2 online is harder

im talkin about 1/2 LIVE versus 2/5 LIVE
i usualy do pretty well for myself at 1/2 LIVE
and was thinkin about movin up

never played 2/5 live but the main difference online is the amount of 3-bet pf. Especially if you play TAG, at 2/4 there are supposed to be slighty better players, so they're more likely to respect your image. So if they play worse than 1/2 like Jay Riall say, just keep playing your game. If you see they fold top pair more easily than at your online game, and they don't give you much action adjust your play by using more your image 3 betting pf, and/or bluffing more when you decide to play a pot ( like double barrels which i think is the step between a nit and a good TAG).

u mean firing out a bluff on two streets?
see im just hopeing there are alot of fish at 2/5
cuz there so plentyful at 1/2 that it makes the game like a joke

lol its like 80 to go every hand 2/5 live, i love it

yep i mean double firing on a bluff ( depends a lot of the texture of the flop ofc). But on a dry flop, fish calls a lot with middle pair because the flop is dry, and i think double barreling often has a lot of value in those spots because they're very likely to fold if your image is good.
