You may or may not remember me but I played with you a fair amount at River St. for about half a year before that game stopped running. I thought I saw you cashing out at Foxwoods on Friday (I was at the 5/10 NL game right by the cage) but wasn't sure if it was you.
Anyway, I just wanted to echo your sentiments about the 2/5 game. While it is fairly easily beatable by anybody beating 1/2 or 2/4 NL online (provided they don't have any of the major live game leaks some internet players have-- impatience causing them to play too many hands, giving off too many physical tells, etc.), it generally is not that good a game. The 5/10 just above it and the 1/2 just below it are almost always much better. I've thought about it a bit in the past few months and came to the same conclusions you have.
I agree wholeheartedly with your assessment of Foxwoods' (mis)management as well but as they're the only game in town, I grin and bear it. I don't go as often as I used to (so I'm voting with my feet in a small way) but live play is still so much more fun than internet play that I suck it up every couple months or so.
