Splitting the PL/NL Forums
 

Does anybody else here think it would be nice to have a midlimit forum for 1/2 to 3/6 or so?

Re: Splitting the PL/NL Forums
 

IMO, diluting the forums means that less traffic actually comes through the SSNL ....

Thus you get less information...I don't know how many people actually browse every forum, but I know that the Mid-limit guys are complaining that they have little traffic in that forum now its been split from Mid/High Limit...

Just my 2c...

I think it would be great. There currently no forum for making the transition to high stakes. And players like me could use one

I agree with this as well.

Re: Splitting the PL/NL Forums
 

i think it's OK as is

Re: Splitting the PL/NL Forums
 

I like it the way it is, but I am old and fear change so maybe I am not the best person to ask..........

Re: Splitting the PL/NL Forums
 

Yes. I just hope the mid-level guys will still stick around and teach us small stakes players. If I played 1/2+, I'd want my own forum.

Actually, you might want to keep 1/2 live in the small stakes forum, since I don't think the play is that different from .10/.20 online.

Re: Splitting the PL/NL Forums
 

If I was splitting i'd probably start at the 2/4 level at the lowest.....1/2 honestly is no different than .5/1 and .25/.5

Re: Splitting the PL/NL Forums
 

If anything needs to be split, its NL/PL 6max and NL/PL full.

Re: Splitting the PL/NL Forums
 

If you split the forums, SSNL would lose a lot of good advice.

Re: Splitting the PL/NL Forums
 

I support a division of:
-- smaller than 1/2 online, 1/2 and smaller live
-- 1/2 to 3/6 (or 5/10, arguments could be made for either) online, 2/5-ish (and 5/5?) live
-- everything higher

Particularly deep and/or tricky hands at any level would probably not be rejected outright if posted in this next higher up forum (eg. a .25/.50 online hand with $300 stacks and a history between the players would be fine in the middle forum, a 2/5 live hand with $2000 stacks and some tough decisions would be fine in the high forum).

Re: Splitting the PL/NL Forums
 

I agree with Ghaz, Soah and others in the MHNL post regarding the split breakdown.

This is the way it should be split imo.

Yes. But the most important thing is that we get a split. This forum is getting really crowded, and good posts get lost soon.

Re: Splitting the PL/NL Forums
 

my selfish answer (i'm playing .5/1 right now) is that they should be kept together. the stt forum has everyone posting with a subject line like "($55) TPTK etc" so you can see immediately what the buy-in is, which i think would be good regardless of what happens with splitting.

I think this is a bad way to split the forum. So you are implying that NL25 6-max and NL400 6-max are more similar than NL400 full vs NL400 6-max?

Agreed, then you are getting into the same problem they had with the limit short hand forum that is now split. I think the splt should pertain mostly to the SSNL forum as ghazban mentioned

Also if we do split the forums, which I heartily endorse, we will need a new mod for the SSNL because I'm not gonna do both.

Nope. I'm saying that I like the forum how it is and offerring a dumber split in the hopes of confusing the argument. <wink>

Re: Splitting the PL/NL Forums
 

I support a division of:

small -- .50/$1 and below
mid -- 1/2 to 4/8
high -- 5/10 and up

Needs to be done. Sooner the better.

Re: Splitting the PL/NL Forums
 

as long as our good midlimit friends slum in the SSNL forums and enlighten us with their knowledge.

There are plenty of solid posters who I think can handle it. Grunch??????

Re: Splitting the PL/NL Forums
 

I think mid limit players should have to provide proof of winning play before posting in small stakes. Otherwise people will listen to all of their crap advice just based on the fact that they play higher.

do you think people listen to what someone has to say based more on the level they play at rather than the content of their posts?

Re: Splitting the PL/NL Forums
 

4_2: Thanks! Me too!

beavens: Nah, I was just being a sarcastic bastard. And slyly pointing out the fact that some mid limit players post really crap advice.

ah, i didn't see the title - my bad!

i think everyone posts crappy advice from time to time.. i know i've posted some of the biggest moran lines ever.

if it makes sense to me, i'll listen to it. if it doesn't, i'll just ask for clarification. if they can't give that, then i forget what i've read [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

This should be posted in the FAQ.

I'm sure there are actually some people who don't think to in depth about what some say and might fall prey this, but anyone who has 1/2 a brain shouldn't just be taking things at face value.

BTW, just noticed your title change. Was that Xorbies doing? I like it, but now maybe people in other forums won't misread your sarcastic posts as much and they will loose some value. Hmm.



Also in response to the thread in general. I'm for the split though I could handle if it didn't happen. The best thing is maybe some of those guys who for some reason can't stand to post 2/4 hands here will get involved in more discussions after the split.

The 5/10 cutoff for High and .5/1 for low with everything else in mid makes the most sense to me.

I have a feeling many people do precisely that.

In many cases you are "correct" to do so, especially if the poster has worked their way up through the levels. Not always the case though.

After thinking about it, I realise this even holds true in the non-strategy forums. Look at El D's and Sucker's posts in NVG and OOT.
