I think the main difference is that at 2NL you will find more true beginners who really have no clue what they are doing. You will find whales at both levels, just a bit less often at 5NL. Overall though the strategy should not change much. You are going to want to play aggressive preflop with a proper range. Post flop don’t get too fancy. You can probably cbet a bit less than optimal since villains will usually call more than they should. Your main profit at both levels will come from extracting value from players who cannot bring themselves to fold their top pair type hands when you have a two pair or better hand.
