Borgata is the shizzle for 2/5 games. Most variety for table selection if you're not there on the weekends, best mix of regs and droolers.
Majority of the regs are so so so exploitable.
I constantly hear float this, flat that, and exploit this, and pot odds that. They've been around the game long enough to know the fancy terms, but they're still absolutely clueless as to how to incorporate any advanced concepts into their game.
Nitty regs give you too much credit, and spewy regs give you too little.
As far as the non regs go, they see all the chips on the table and sit down so they can either a) get all their money in way behind, lose, and then leave disappointed, or b) get all their money in way behind, suck out huge, then rack up the very next hand and do the Charleston over to the cashier. I see it all the time.

people play in manner where you can sit back and play patient poker and take maney and you want to avoid it?
Im being facetious only because i too had a similar mindset before - "wah, i want to play where im up against guy's who think about the game", but then i realized i like winning a whole lot more than measuring the size of my peen with other dudes. poker is enough of a sausage fest as it is.
2/5 is just as easy as 1/2, if not easier IMO. People are actually betting in 2/5 so you can pretty easily assess the situation as opposed to in 1/2 where the norm is like 3 limps, a raise to 12 and then 5 callers head to the flop. Waiting around for the nuts, esp. live, is like pulling teeth. Super boring to say the least. Play pots, put people to decisions, make big lay downs, make hero calls, bluff in +ev spots. That's what makes poker fun and interesting, and keeps you coming back for more (well the $$$ that you win helps too). Having a big peen contest with the other people at your table is the only way to challenge yourself and make your game stronger so you can move up stakes eventually.
