you just seem to be defending ignoring someone like me - trying to build a bankroll and get better but i run so terribly in the micros i cant even build a roll. i know most wouldnt believe the running bad is the reason, but its a clear reason, i know there are leaks, but its just reeealy bad, been on a serious downswing for a while now, and yes i review my game.. but only because i dont have as much money, i dont have a say or somethin.

You are obviously a beginner and there is nothing wrong with that and it's good to see you are working on your game and trying to get better.

I think the main reason that many people are dismissing your comments is not because you don't have a bigger bankroll but because you are relatively new to the forums. This doesn't make you wrong at all. I do think that you are drastically overestimating the effect the split will have on the advice you get.

not a beginner per se...despite registration date, ive been on 2p2 forums for a while (i guess at least a year or so), and playing poker since 02.

i just cant see the positives of it, when people generally act like microplayers opinions dont matter, so they ignore, so they cant get better

also, it might be basic to you, but not to them. it wouldnt hurt, even just a few words, for them to know what should be done

i'm done arguing with you; you are arguing something completely different now. splitting the forums wont affect higher stakes players helping lower stakes players nor are they obliged to do so. your arguments sound like a bunch of whining to me

misclick, all your arguments about why splitting the forum is bad have little to do w/ splitting the forum.

For example

Yes, it would be good if knowledgeable players responded to low stakes threads. It's true, but irrelevant. The sky is blue. True, but irrelevant.

This is relevant: How does a forum split impact the likelihood that a knowledgeable player will respond to a low stakes thread?

The answer: Not very much (IMO).

If you want to make a case against splitting the forum, at least make one that is relevant.

Your development as a player is up to you. Most people here want to get better and help the players around them get better but at the end of the day it's up to you.

Edit: I guess what I'm trying to say is I don't understand why you feel players should feel obligated to go out of there way to help you.

i dont expect em to help me, im hardly even posting hands in MTTS, im more the replier. but i dont see why they cant help a newer player, maybe only every once in a while, it can help the forum environment overall i believe.

Honestly you have no reason to complain, high stakes players arent really reading the low stakes threads anyways, and theres nothing to stop a low stakes player from posting opinions on the high stakes forum or anything like that, the only difference is organizational. Your [censored] about it is pointless and not really thought through.

Im a low stakes player and I like the split idea, MTTs will be less of a cluster[censored] that way.

edit: 2+2 censor missed a word
