i think the forum is fine how it currently is.

granted 3/6 isn't going to directly translate over to 25-50, but a number of important concepts and situations do.

people are going to be terrible and tough at all levels, and most posts take into account both how the table is playing in general, and the particular players involved.

i do however think the forum could use more stringent moderation.

I've been advocating this for quite a while though personally I think the higher end dividing line is 5/10 6 max or 10/20, the 5/10 full ring tends to play a lot more like the 2/4 than the 10/20 in most cases.

Right now a lot of us that play at the mid stakes don't really feel like we fit in too well in either forum. The journey from .10/.25 to 10/20 is more than just "aha! I suddenly know how to play high stakes poker!" The low limits are riddled with completely clueless players that make so many fundamental mistakes that any ABC player can easily defeat them. The high stakes games feature a lot of players that are thinking on the 43rd level that know all the odds and know basic hand reading. But there is a lot of middle ground where most players are paying attention and thinking past the first level. They know enough to beat a simple ABC player, but they can still be fooled and may not mix up their own play enough. Most of the things I'm thinking about during a 2/4 hand are irrelevent to a .25/.50 player. Right now it takes quite a bit of time to search through the forums to sort out the mid-stakes hands from the low-stakes hands (since the stakes often aren't mentioned in the thread title.)

I agree that bottom cut for middle limit should be 2/4 (so 200NL goes to smallstakes) because I thinkt its big jump between these two. I dont know where the next jump is.. I suppose between 5/10 and 10/20 or maybe 5/10 full and 5/10 6max.

I understand that. My point was that 2/4 and .25/.50 are completely different games, yet they share a forum.

I think the structure is fine for the high players, but for those of us moving from 1-2 to 2-4, etc don't find too much help in the SS forum. A mid forum would be sweet.

All the players in the lower end of 'high stakes' want to price themselves in the high stakes forum (5/10 i.e. "the current structure is fine") while not caring at all that 2/4 mid limit players and players trying to make a transition to higher stakes are getting the shaft since there are like 3-4 people in the small stakes that can give relevant advice to them lol

Games go to 100/200 and a bit of 200/400 online right? Why does 5/10 fit in with them?

People have presented reasonable arguments why there should be seperation. Saying you don't think it needs seperation and saying the thread doesn't belong here speaks a lot more to your ego than it does to your intellect.
