Of course it's much less advanced than 2/4 and 3/6, but it's much more advanced than .5/1 and below. I would say $200 NL is where a lot of concepts become important, and I don't think these concepts are discussed enough in the SSNL forum.

Micro: $100 and below
Mid: $200 - $600
High: $1000 and above

this is the right way to work it, both in content and traffic. how has this not been done yet?

Small: 1/2 NL and lower
Mid: 2/4 NL - 5/10 NL online (5/10 basic concepts, obvious answers due to stack sizes, etc...)
High: 5/10 (deep stacks, live play) and higher

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm not sure that it's best to group 5/10 in the high bracket.

Although in theory you could sort the posts this way, in practice I think it encourages 5/10 players to post in the high forum because of the glamour.

I think it's better to make the high forum include 6/12+ and then make it known that it's okay to post interesting/difficult/deep-stacked/etc hands from the lower stakes. That way, you encourage 5/10 players who wander onto 2+2 to post their hands on the lower forum, but you give some leeway to the 5/10 2+2 veterans.

i disagree; i think that 1/2 is conceptually much less advanced than 2/4 or 3/6.

Despite this I would be happy with the proposed change and would make the effort to post some hands in the new mid level forum.

Come up with a different name than "mid" but I agree with many in this thread that online $1-2NL should be lumped with online 2/4 and 3/6.

This argument could be made no matter what cutoff point is chosen. Games are going to vary across limits and across sites, and you obviously cannot make a separate forum for each one. I think that including 1/2 in Mid would be appropriate as a means of splitting the forums somewhat evenly, and because players playing 1/2 online have presumably already learned to beat NL25, NL50, and NL100... they should have a firm grasp of the fundamentals and they should be ready for deeper hand analysis and more levels of thinking.

Jeff,

That is an excellent idea. 5/10 should be put in the lower range so that's the place for default 5/10 questions. Smart players can post 5/10 in higher stakes as appropriate.

Good idea,
El Diablo

Agreed. I play 1/2 and 2/4 and don't feel like I can post anywhere. I bet there are many 1/2 --> 3/6 players that feel the same way and would contribute to a mid forum.
