2/5 thus far

so yesterday was a very intersting day but ill talk abou that in a little bit. so far since my last post 2/5 has been going very smoothly. they always say its verry good to run good when you move up and it seems like im doing just that. the first day after my last post i won 750$, then next day i won 850$ i was up to 1000$ but just lost some minor pots at the end of my session. and then there was yesterday. to start off the day there was only 3 2/5 games going at the aria when i got there which wasnt that big of a deal it usually gets busy there around 9pm so i ended up sitting at a table with "ice man" hes been interviewed at the world series and some of you may know who im talking about big gangster looking dude.
anyway theres probablly a reason he plays 2/5 and 5/10, becasue playing with him i could tell he wasnt very good. but anyway to start the day off right second hand i get i pick up 45 of spades and there 4 limpers in front of me so i limp and a couple more people limp. flop comes 2 3 8 with two dimonds and one spade. it gets checked to me and i bet like 15$ into a 30$ pot and 2 people call. the turn is a 7 of spades... yahtzee. gets checked to me and i bet 65$ guy to my left raises to 165$ which would leave me with like 250$ in my stack i sit there for like 30 seconds to act like im thinking and push the rest in. he thinks for a while and calls. river is a jack and i show the straight and he muck, he said he had a set wich makes sense. but yeah that was a very decent way to start the day with a 500$ double up. from there i fell a little bit maybe to only being 300 up and then hit some cards i dont remember the hand but at one point i was up 800$ then it kinda seemed like i was just in a little downswing and couldnt really win any pots and fell to only being 250 up. i eventually won a couple hands and got it back to being 500$ up and then BAM!
jamie gold sits down 2 to my left he was there with some guy and they were ordering food he didnt really seem like he was playing that serious, but ive also read in a couple places that hes pretty much busto which could be another reason he was at a 2/5 table who knows. anyway he dropped like 500 in a couple hours after finishing his food and him and his friend left, after that i really couldnt get anything going again and lost 200$ to the table drunk who rivered a full house vs my straight wich wasnt that big of a deal, only 40 bb's i left about an hour later only leaving 200$ up. i felt kinda bad yesterday cause i was up 800$ and i was only leaving up 200 wich sucked but i was still leaving with decent profit so it was a good night, but full of swings and strange encounters and turned out to be a verry interesting day. to kinda extend on my experience with 2/5 it seems it more of a player game than anything else. like at 1/2 your mostly playing a profitable style and you can see decent returns usually. but at 2/5 your more so playing the table and the players and counter acting there style to be able to win money. sometimes the games seem like 10nl and sometimes they seem like 25nl really just depends on the players. but in the end i feel i can be a decent winner at 2/5 and i have 2 weeks left to try and do so. well next time i post will be my monthly review and you can expect it to be my best month unless i get doom swithced, wich will probablly happen now that ive blogged about my winnings so stay tuned
