Hi,

I am currently moving from 2NL to 5NL, 6-max.
Can you tell what the main differences are? which adjustments do I need to make?
I am playing on PS.

Thx guys!

Slightly better players on average and slightly more aggression. Not much difference though don't go change your game at all if it works at 2nl

Little less limpers, more 3b´s, more iso, less 50/5 fishes, more nits, more raises on flop turn.

Close but... I suspect you weren't as precise as you could have been. Rather than not changing anything, it's better not to change anything unless / until he finds things that warrant changing.

Carbon Poker doesn't have 2 NL so I wouldn't know.

The main difference is the skill level of the players. I would just be more cautious with your money. Maybe check more just to get a feel for how others bet. It's really hard to say since I don't know how you played on the 2 NL tables.
