Im a regular player at local NL 1-2's and ive been pretty successful overall at those stakes. But later this month me and some friends are headed out of town to a place that only has 1-2 pot limit, and 2-2 NL, which I find strange. My two friends are planning on playing 2-2 the whole time and I was wondering what type of adjustments I will have to make and what I should prepare for? I plan on buying in at 200 and playing it like a 1-2, is this a good idea? Any other advice would be helpful.

I would think there are very little adjustments to be made simply because of the structure.

If people ever folded preflop in live low stakes, then you should steal more because there is more money in the pot. But they don't fold, so all your raises will essentially be value raises just like in a 1-2nl game.

makes sense, should the sizes of preflop raises be higher at all?

I wouldn't see why. Only $1 more is in the pot preflop.

I dabble in a 5-5 game now and then, and haven't seen any real differences in bet sizing. The SBs get a bite more blind defensive, but not enough to really matter,
