I don't like the idea of the split. I think that a better solution would just be to make 200NL strictly SSNL if it bothers Mid-Stakes that much.

SSNL is a great place for players to really get a footing on their game. Players come here when they start at the smallest $2NL games and spend a lot of time here as they move up to the $200NL games and beyond. They learn, build relationships, and really develop a camaraderie and motivation to contribute because of the time spent here. I mean have you seen the Master Sticky for SSNL, it's incredible!! All the great posts in that sticky are a direct result of that motivation to contribute that comes from spending so much time here.

What we share is that we are all working on putting together a solid game here in SSNL. In terms of breaking down a hand, we are all still figuring out how to apply the same basic concepts. Sure, the "common" opponent in NL25 might be a bit different from NL200, but i don't think that is not enough reason to break up a forum with so many other positives.
