The problem you are citing is that it is hard to be a 5/10 player in SSH because right now most people there play smaller games than you, so there isn't enough discussion at your level. The solution to that isn't for the 5/10 players to start posting on SSH even less. That just makes things even worse. The solution is for you to go and start some good threads and contribute stuff that will help pull the forum up to the level that you want to see. If it isn't a "home forum" yet, remember that that is because it is new. Forums with great community and high level discussion don't magically appear. They form over time because people like you put in the effort to guide them that way.

There are a lot of 5/10 players here. If you guys start discussing your [censored] on that forum, you will have exactly what you want: a home forum with good discussion of the issues you guys care about. If you all stop posting on SSH as you propose, then what will happen? A month from now the 3/6 players will say "I don't want to be part of SSH anymore because the 5/10 players left so everyone here plays smaller than me. I'm going to MSH". And then a month later the 2/4 players will say "jeez, with the 3/6 and 5/10 guys gone, this is now a microlimit forum. This is a waste of my time..."

I tend to agree. Posting here about general questions would obviously be okay, but 5/10 hands, maybe not as much. (I was going to suggest that if you really wanted advice on a 5/10 hand, post it in here as a 10/20 hand -- 'the table was really passive' -- but that'd be wrong!)

Just an observation: at all limits below 5/10, you can excel mightily by playing smart preflop, raising preflop, and value-betting like crazy. At all limits above 5/10 (especially above 10/20), those will get you to marginally +EV but there's (unfortunately) a lot more going on.

5/10 is the cutpoint -- you can be a 2BB/100 player there by playing smart preflop, raising preflop, and value-betting, but not necessarily a lot better than that.

Just my two useless cents.
