some observations about the split

[xCEO]

I agree. I understand that the split is great for 10/20 and higher stakes players but for 5/10$ players it's terrible.

[MrBig30]

When this split was first discussed I played 5/10. Now I have played 100K 10/20 and have no plans to ever move down again. The same could be true for you experienced 5/10 players in a few months. Really the difference is more a bankroll issue than anything else, no matter what some say...

i think the split is awesome.

no more sifting through .5/1 threads. no more weekly "need a preflop chart" threads.

I agree with this. I love this forum.

I will still reply once in a while to SSHUSH posts despite the fact I will probably hate that forum.

You could just post your 5/10 hands here replacing the "5/10" text with "10/20". [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Back in the "glory days" of HUSH (yes, that is what I will call them hereforth), in one of the countless posts on the split, I suggested doing just that: but some killjoy pointed out that I might get inaccurate advice, more appropriate for 10/20 than 5/10.

If I really wanted to pull this off, I'd have to start posting only well-played hands, so as to lend some plausibility to the claim that I'd actually have moved up; I'm not sure I can find enough well-played hands to make that claim stand up.

be careful that the difference in blind structure doesnt give you away a la this guy

[joker122]

still, i think 5/10 and 10/20 are really different games. the difference is more pronounced in probably any other 2 limits with 1:2 limit ratio (i.e. betweeen 1/2 and 2/4, or 15/30 and 30/60). so while the 5/10 posters might be suffering a bit from the split, there's no question that 5/10 belongs in SHUSH, simply because it plays much more like 3/6 than it does 10/20.

Wow, Jba, that is verry funny. I'll try not to get caught.
