Potential NL forum split: Speak up

I think it's a bad idea.

SSNL is all about learning the basics of NL and hand reading, rather than the absolute levels of the blinds. Maybe the range we put villains on changes somewhat as we move up the levels, but also it does depending on whether villain is solid, wild, a fish etc., so whilst the analysis might change a bit, the nature of the questions and thought processes within the SSNL forum are similar across the majority of the questions- what does he have, how do i best play against that?

Contrast that with MSNL where this is more of a given, and the analysis seems to be more about when and where to make moves, good times for bluffing etc. I don't see that a split in SSNL would really give rise to 2 forums with different content, so I don't see the need.

Here's a MSNLer's (and sometimes SSNLer) point of view regarding your post:

If your idea could somehow be a reality, and the posts be separated by the level of complicated nature of the hands, nobody would be considering this split. However, in MSNL, there's a huge influx of 200NL posts that are very standard and that many of the regulars who play higher than that regard as clutter.

Some suggested 200NL be SSNL only, but this would not be fair to the already overcrowded SSNL, so a compromise (a 4th forum) was introduced.

so basically there comes a point when everyone thinks the lowest level stuff is standard right? No matter where the split. I think .02.04/&.05/.1 stuff is pretty standard but splitting SSNL doesnt mean that its going to go away. We cant just let Micro run off and do its own thing... it means SSNL guys are going to have to go down and post and give some sort of experienced feedback.
