The point I was (poorly) attempting to make is not that the 2/5 game is harder. The money jump is significant and it effectively cuts my BR to 12 BI.
I was certainly a huge BR nit following fairly strict BRM (have played 2/5 but only in games I feel I have a massive edge), some of the posts ITT are making me want to just play 2/5 all the time and drop down at 4k or something.
A good rule of thumb is online is 10x smaller in terms of skill level, like 2-5 is same skill level as .25-.50 and 5-10 is like .5-1 or 1-2. If you can beat those it's infinitely easier. Sadly I decided to play 5-10+ heads up mostly online, so skills don't translate very well, and I degen money away alot. You will crush 2-5 if you beat 25nl online ring games, goodluck!
Edit: buyin with Max buyin tho, it's sooooo much more +ev, if you don't feel comfortable doing that then play smaller, max buying in live is ++++++++++ev times ten.
