I'm a normal 1/2 recreational player who has plays maybe once a week with success. I'm thinking about have a night where I play the local casino 2/5 game with just one buy-in of 100bbs just to see how it goes and test the waters and my game.

My main reason for posting is if it's a good idea...any adivce...things to look out for...biggest differences between 1/2 and 2/5...or should I just walk away from the ledge right now.

I've never played 2/5, but I hear it's pretty similar. Bart Hanson, who is a live poker coach on DC and his own site, suggests to play 2/5 over 1/2 if you have the bankroll and are beating 1/2. He says this simply because of the rake.

I've played with 2/5 players and they are always super aggressive when playing 1/2 and love to inflate pots and bully. However, they always seem to get stacked haha.

I would say if your bankroll can handle it, go for it. You're getting better money when it comes to the rake and if you play tight/get your money in on the best hands, you should have a good payday.

If you can afford to play without looking at the bigger buy in and being scared money then go for it! Make sure your decisions are based off you being right or wrong rather than that there's more money being bet. As far as the style of the game's concerned, I've played in games that were less action than 1/2 and ones with as much as 5/10 so it can vary. Good luck!
