spitting midhigh

[skp]

First off, inquiring minds want to know who is the moderator of the moderators' forum?...heh

I am with Dynasty that we don't need a split bewteen mid limits and high limits. It was tried before and I believe the subsequent merger has proved to be useful.

The split between midhigh casino and midhigh internet makes more sense. The two games are like comparing apples with oranges.

The differences are many - both from a strategy standpoint (eg. Default river calls on the net are often default folds in live play) and from a posting standpoint (eg. online play deals with VPIP, PFR and TA stats as opposed to live play which depends more on subjective reads, tells, image, tilt factor etc.).

Besides, there are a lot of posts on midhigh right now that are simply of no interest to the live player eg. who's the best online player, what's an achievable bb/100 figure etc.

Incidentally, didn't they used to have a "Brick and Mortar" forum. I have no idea what the hell they talked about over there as I never went to it. I ask in case a split along the lines suggested in your scenario 2 will only duplicate the failed "B & M" forum experiment.

While it might be nice for 15-30 to have a more comfortable home, as Dynasty suggested, this forum doesn't have a lot of traffic anyway.

FWIW, I think that 10/20 through 30-60 should be considered mid, all else high. To suggest that 10/20 and 15/30 belong in SS is a little silly. People playing 10/20 are making $50-$200 an hour, that isn't small stakes by any strech of the imagination.

Still do. Look left, just below Psychology. I post my Iris stories there.

Number 2 for me.

I think there are enough differences between the games online and live, and I do not mean just the physical differences, that would justify a split here.

I guess there would also be some integration with the B&M sub forum if we split this up which I would particuarly like. Hopefully it would generate discussion about mid-high stakes in cardrooms and to an extent what the games are like in the different cardrooms.

I also pay far more attention to the B&M posts of mid/high games than that of the online version.

Thanks

I personally post both Internet and live hands. If there were a ton of posts on this forum, I'd agree with the split. But the traffic is light and I don't think there is enough volume to justify a split. Plus I think the eclectic mix of posts make it an interesting read. I personally wish people would talk more "situationally" then "pokertracker" when discussing hands, but as times change, I have to change with them I suppose. It's a close decision, but I'd like to keep it as it is.

I have mixed feelings, I don't post that much because I feel like for the most part the forum has been slow and uninterestering and a lot of the hands seem to stress the same ideas. however, if you do want to split the forum i think it should be something like 15-30 to 30-60, esp all party hands, and all 15-30 and 20-40 casino hands.
then the second forum would be online 50-100 and above and casino from about 30-60/40-80 and up. i think that the 30 and 40 casino hands are very boarderline, and it depends a lot on the game and the post and everything. however, i also think that the bottom line is the forum is to learn, not strengently enforce what limits can be posted and what cannot. it would be very stupid to take a good meanful post that we could learn from and moving or deleting it because it is not in the correct forum etc. so i guess i am saying that a split is fine, break it up into bascailly smaller casino games and party hands. and then big games everywhere, online and casino. but, the mods for the various forums should be juditicous about moving and locking threads.

suggestion 2: split into 2 forums, 'midhigh casino' and 'midhigh internet'

As many have stated, I don't think there is enough traffic on midhigh to justify this. It is perfectly capable of supporting both live and online games as it does today, so I don't see the problem with having them in the same forum. I don't think this same objection holds for suggestion 1 because it is more akin to a split of small stakes than a split of mid stakes since I would guess (completely unscientific guess without asking the parties I mention) that it would attract threads like the jason_t/entity/tstone discussions that correctly live in small stakes.

I stated this in Small Stakes, but I'll repeat it here.

I think it's best to not create another new forum, but to push 2/4 down into micro-limit, make SS go from 3/6 to 15/30, and put 20/40 and up in mid-high.

Since live 15/30 plays like online 3/6, this isn't such a bad idea.
