Personally, I thought 50NL and 100NL were not too dissimilar, as were 25NL and 50NL. However, the jump to 25NL to 100NL seems huge, so I guess it's just a question of where the line be drawn. But since most posts on this forum are at the 25NL level, it makes sense to split between 50 and 100 since otherwise we'd see almost only 25NL posts in the micro forum.

I would ask the forum mods to continue to work to get the MSNL and HSNL players to post here (the Well comes to mind) as their advice is definitely coveted by a player such as myself.

You guys keep saying this, but posting in SSNL is not a high priority for these guys. THere is a search function and archives. Read up on top players in strategy threads. A few of them even used to post in the small stakes forums.

Start by reading every strategy post that MDMA has ever written. Now repeat for El Diablo, riverboatking, fimbulwinter, thebruiser500. You get the idea.

Understood Isura. My only point was its not always easy to apply their advice in a NL 2000 game to a NL 100 game. Players certainly make different moves in those games than they do here. Its really educational to see them comment about a hand here at these levels
Certainly they are under no obligation to post here but its nice to see them give something back to the forum (aba's student comes to mind). All I was saying is that if you guys continue to ask them to do so it would be appreciated. Thats it

I've just started to look at SSNL and post hands. This forum has way too much traffic and hands disapear too fast. A forum split will be good.

Also, it has worked for limit. There has been a micro forum for a long time and there is a reason for that. The hands play differently and the games are different.

Sometimes a hand comes up at the micro's that might play like a bigger hand, and then you seek advice from players in the bigger forum. No big deal.

I haven't been here long and have debated staying because there is too much clutter.

I don't think this has been handled particularly well. Nobody wants to be told that they have been cluttering SSNL and are now being demoted to micro-stakes. However, if it would have been presented a promotion for 100/200 players, there would have been fewer hurt egos.

If the new forums had been named Small-stakes, Mid-stakes, High-stakes and Super-stakes, wouldn't that have been better? Come on guys, do you think McDonalds would ever launch a micro-burger?

Okay guys, looks like the split has the support of the masses so we will wait and see what the powers that be have to say.

In the meantime, we need a snappy acronym for the new forum since MSNL is already taken. Have at it....

This sounds like an excellent idea! I currently play NL100 and have no interest at all to read NL25- posts.

[/ QUOTE ]

no one is forcing you to read them....

Ok, thanks for being a jerk.
As you probably didn't figure out this thread is about splitting the forum to not clutter up with posts that people doesn't like to read anyway.

[/ QUOTE ]


no its not about clearing up stuff people dont want to read. Thats exactly the mentality that I want to discourage. The split is about being able to provide better feedback and encourage lengthier, more thorough discussions before the posts slip away. By giving micro there own forum, we would be able to have better discussions in SSNL and still be able to provide somewhat generic responses to micro.
