What should a 1/2 player watch out for when jumping to 2/5?

Local casino is having Moneymaker host/play for the weekend. He starts the night with a 2/5NL game.

Background:
  • Hero is a 1/2 rec player
  • Hero running good and/or playing good (9 consecutive 3x buy-in winning sessions in 2 weeks)
  • Playing solid enough to show profits (easily making 10BB hourly), big wins are from stacking fish

Expectations:
  • Get on the list early and buy-in for 100BB
  • Play tight and be position/situation selective (9 handed)
  • See/Experience a level of play I've not experienced before
  • Hero's 1/2 play is pretty solid but expecting to have ups/downs or bust out
  • Get a photo/autograph and have a story (flying to Colorado the next day to visit family and play in a home game)
