Thank you for posting.

The key factors to differences on small stakes 1-2 / 1-3 are:

1 is it still the smallest game spread? If so same.

2 is the buy in larger 150 bb vs 100bb? If so players may chase more

3 is it a warm up game for a 2-5 game?
Better players or more willing to gamble players in game

4 are there more 60bb buy in stacks on the 1-3- same $200 as the 1-2 but now short stack
Players at this level do not adjust to short stacks so it becomes a preflop game for you.

Hope this helps

1 is it still the smallest game spread? If so same. I agree

2 is the buy in larger 150 bb vs 100bb? If so players may chase more the max buy-in is $300 equaling 100bbs

3 is it a warm up game for a 2-5 game?
Better players or more willing to gamble players in game ok I understand

4 are there more 60bb buy in stacks on the 1-3- same $200 as the 1-2 but now short stack I saw on an early Saturday Morning , on the 9 player table a couple with 200bbs or more, but these players have been playing over night.

Players at this level do not adjust to short stacks so it becomes a preflop game for you. Ok
