First 5 games, a mediocre 3-2-0 record, but rated now 1622 provisional. I think that is a tad high, someone explained my rating may likely decrease even if I win many games, still seems weird to have it jacked up that high out of the starting block for a measely 3-2 record, a glitch maybe?

Read the related paragraphs in the FAQ section of the HELP function. You will most probably come to the conclusion that your (provisional) rating is correct.

Thanks, I played mostly players around the 1550 rating, out of the starting block, and won 3-2, guess that explains it. . . I wonder if it's possible to jack your rating way high if a noob account beats all the top 5 players at the start? (not that any top player would agree to play such an account in rated games).

Certainly would be possible, but that would be fair enough... if you could beat all top 5 players, then you'd deserve to be top of the table.
