this is classic stuff - playing position, isoing limpers, going after dead $, knowing when to apply pressure, formulating a game plan for each player you are at the table with and executing, etc.
If this is the case and you are outplaying your opponents consistently you will do just fine at 2/5. One thing that a lot of people tend to do when they move up is they think that every one is making moves on them and they think they need to "play back" then they spew chips. Dont do this. Ya people are gunna 3 ball u light but until you have evidence of this you dont need to have a light 4 betting range. Its important to not forget where the money comes from. Hint: it doesnt come from whippin out yer johnson and getting into leveling wars with the regs.

I beg to differ on this last point.
If I can get an otherwise more solid reg to whip his dick out and get into a degenfest with me, my winrate goes up.
I have thousands of hours as a degen. That’s my comfort zone. Guys who tend to be more skilled then me at pure degen play often are playing higher then 2/5.
If you don’t have a winning degen mode, don’t adjust to degeneration with degeneration. Tighten up pre while adding more overall aggression. If a guy light 3bets, feel better 4bet-pounding the strong part of your range. On certain board textures, feel comfortable w bet/3bet when having only 1 pair (preferably an overpair). Etc.
That said, degeneration is infectious. The transitive property of degeneracy is that the more degenerate a game you play, the more likely it is that everyone else will to. And that’s a good place to be.
