meh, it just depends, there are some good posters and then there are posters who it's obvious they do not beat the game.
just depends and that's all I'll say on that subject

People that thumb there noses at 2/5nl imo are just being blinded by elitism.
The reason 2/5nl is a great level to grind live is because its the highest level that STILL has a significant percentage of clueless fish. In fact, its the highest level where the MAJORITY of players STILL have significant huge leaks
Give you an example. Last night in my 2/5nl game the following hand took place. Effective stacks were $1.2k
V1 was a super station fish, can't lay down to save his life.
V2 was a nitty ABC player who was getting smack in the face with the deck. Within 3 orbits he was dealt AA, KK, AA, QQ and flopped sets 3 times and has shown down nothing but monsters. He doesn't bluff ever.
V3 was typical V, not important.
V1 fish is UTG+1 and limps, V2 is in MP and limps, V3 raises to $20, V1 calls, V2 calls, 3-way.
Flop($60) Q
9
4
V1 fish chks, V2 nit chks, V3 bets $40, V1 calls, V2 calls calls
Turn(180) 7
V1 chks, V2 chks, V3 bets $75, V1 calls, V2 c/r to $600
, V3 snap folds, V1 tank calls
River(1380) 7
V1 chks, V2 goes all-in, V1 tanks for 5 minutes and calls
V1 shows A
9
V2 has 9

this is something you just would never see at 5/10nl or if you did see it, it would be for different reasons (i.e. bluff ranges are high and bluff frequency is super high).
But at 2/5nl, you see horrid plays like this at least once every other orbit.

I am planning on doing my own poker tour around the world end of the year. I want to play the big cash games in Macua, so I will start there, then work my way across Asia then Europe, then the East Coast, then Florida, then work my way back to California (knock on wood)
