Hello
I play mostly for fun and beat 2nl 6 max on Stars for 10bb/100 over 60.000 hands. Since I'm about to jump into 5nl I would love some general advice.

Is it just the same as 2nl (people seem tighter at 5nl)? What are the most important aspects of beating this limit?

Have a nice day all

Really there is not that much difference overall between 2NL and 5NL. There are probably fewer complete and total whales at 5NL, but there are still plenty of bad players to exploit. Just continue to play good fundamental poker, always open raise, never open limp. Remember that most opponents are going to be passive and loose. To adjust, underbluff, overfold, and never miss a chance to bet for value. That should be enough to keep you winning at 5NL. Good luck.

I found that. I tended to experiment at this stake. And then realized that, best adjustment, was to just play solid range.
