From what I can see, aggression is more prevalent and ego trumps money. I think the 1/2 guys would rather just sit and play/win without pulling their dicks out and running their mouths.
I'm sure there is more to discuss, but wanted to see where this landed with everyone. I don't mind answering more questions, but speaking to your experience would really help me the most.

I don’t think you need to be a crusher to move up, instead focus more on improving thinking level and execution. I put in ~700 hours of $1/$2 NL before feeling confident enough to move-up. My hourly was just under 6 bbs, but felt I was thinking at another level than most of the player pool, which ofc varies from room/region.
I’ve learned tons from playing $2/$5 NL. Again, room/region specific, but the skillset was clearly better. Positional awareness, hand configuration, lighter 3-bet ranges, starting hands and overall more aggression are a handful of important concepts that are more prevalent in my room.
I’d suggest posting hands, getting feedback from the forum is invaluable. I’d also recommend using a stop-loss strategy as part of your transition.
