spitting midhigh
i'm intentionally not posting this as a poll because the responses should be coupled with reasons and names.
the subject of splitting the midhigh forum has risen in the moderator forum. suggestion 1: split into 2 forums, 'mid stakes' and 'high stakes' suggestion 2: split into 2 forums, 'midhigh casino' and 'midhigh internet' which do you favor, and why? |

Re: spitting midhigh
For internet games, I think the difference between 30/60 and higher levels is greater than the difference between 30/60 and lower levels. I'd put 30/60 in mid. I think the only 40/80 game on the net is paradise and it could go either way. 50/100 is definetly high.

Re: spitting midhigh
2+2 used to have both a mid-limit and high-limit forum. When they were combined, I think it improved the quality of discussion.
This forum has not had a lot of activity as of late. Or, at least, it does not have many new posts each day compared to the past. So, I'm skeptical that breaking up the forum will create more discussion. |

Re: spitting midhigh
I don't really favour a split. Discussion is slow and most people already know which posters post live hands, which ones post 50/100+ and which post 15/30 and read them.

Re: spitting midhigh
to be honest im not entirely sure if the discussion here should really be pertinent to the decision on splitting the forum. the people who post in this forum are 30/60+ players so many wouldnt be concerned with the outcome of this decision. thats not to say that the opinions of the posters here are irrelevant. there are alot of good minds on this forum coupled with alot of good judgment.
i have personally not posted 15/30 and 20/40 hands in this forum because i feel its unfair to the other posters, but if people prefer that the forums remain unsplit then ill start posting those hands here. |

Re: spitting midhigh
I think the limits should be enforced stronger. there are too many 15/30 hands which I don't think is/should be considered middle limit

TO CLARIFY
[ QUOTE ]
there are too many 15/30 hands which I don't think is/should be considered middle limit [/ QUOTE ] This is exactly the motivation here. I think describing the proposal as “splitting midhigh” is very misleading and I agree that if that were what was proposed it would be a questionable idea. But that isn’t the goal. The real goal is take what today is two forums—small and midhigh—and turn it into three forums: small, mid and high. Today’s midhigh forum would be very similar to the new “high” forum. It would be roughly for online 30/60 and up and for higher live games (the exact limits would need to be agreed upon by the community). Most people who today post here would probably now post in “high” and be relatively unaffected by the change. The new mid forum would be roughly for 10/20 through 20/40 limits. Today, these limits are mostly posted in small stakes alongside 2/4 hands, but 2/4 and 15/30 really don’t (in my opinion) belong in the same forum. Really, 15/30 hands have no home today. They aren’t welcome by many in the midhigh forum (as Josh’s comment suggests) and they are somewhat out of place in the small stakes forum. I think it makes sense to have a forum in between small stakes and this one and I think there is enough traffic to support the three forums (micro limits would presumably be unaffected by the change so isn’t really in the discussion). In practice, I think the effect of the change would be much closer to splitting small stakes than splitting this forum. |

Re: spitting midhigh
I think splitting wouldn't do a lot of good for the people like myself who post mainly 15-30 and other mid limit hands. I don't really see a reason to split up the two forums honestly. There isn't a lot of traffic as of late.
