Blinds would most likey both be $2. And if you would want to rasie prelfop you could raise to $7.....Im going off a 1-3 format.

Well it wouldn't be a 2/5 table. It would be 2/4 or 3/6 or something like that. The blinds would be small blind half the small bet, $1 if it's a 2/4 table and the big blind would be the small bet, so $2 on a 2/4 table. Raises are equal to the amount the max bet is at that time. So on a 2/4 table when someone bets $4 you raise it $4 more then it can be raised $4 more and then capped at a four bet max with another $4 raise.

2/5 isnt very common. 2/4 blinds are $1 and $2. Preflop you can raise only raise $2. After the flop you can bet or raise $2. After the turn or river you can bet or raise $4.
2/5 is the blinds in a typical 5/10 limit game.

I've seen $1-$3 and $2-$5 setups that are as follows...
Blinds are both the low end, which is also the minimum bet. Max bet is the top end of that limit, regardless of the street, and if I'm not mistaken, raises don't have to be incremental, but they must be at least the size of the previous bet... for instance, if somebody bets $2 at the $1/$3 table, you cannot bet $3. It's call $2, bet $4(for a $2 raise,) or bet $5 (for a $3 raise)
And yes, the vast majority of the bets were the max, so it played like a fixed limit game, but without the doubling of bets on the turn.
In this particular game, limit was four raises, except heads up, no limit there.
Interesting format, can't say I really liked it, but ya know, I take what I can get around here ;P
Typically though, it's a lot simpler than that.
Say, a 2/4 game... small blind of $1, big of $2, bets are increments of $2 up to a max of four raises, turn/river they are increments of $4.
Usually you'll run into that, but you should always ask the dealer if you're not certain of specific house rules or whatnot

I played a game in Vegas that was 1-3 and another that was 2-6. There was only one blind, for the min bet. Betting now was between the two amounts, unless someone else bet, then you had to at least double the bet. If he bet 2, you could raise 1.
Interesting game because it gave you the chance to read a little bit into the bets since they had choices.
