Potential NL forum split: Speak up

[aces_dad]

AJ - The split sounds good. SSNL often has too many threads but not enough discussion per thread for non-standard hands (unless posted by notable reg / mod), so if it improves discussion of 100NL / 1/2 NL then I'm all for it.

orange - I think the point is to improve MSNL/SSNL quality and make MLNL the 'clutter' forum as you put it.

i think microlimit forums will be cluttered. not just with alot of traffic but bad advice. as we saw in the msnl/ssnl split, alot of good players left ssnl and we really missed their advice.

I dunno. I don't post many hands, but when I do I typically don't need super-standard advice any more. I'd hate not getting responses from the 100NL/200NL regulars just because I play 25NL, even though most of the hands I post could easily happen at that level as well. I'm also wondering whether there'll be a good community in microstakes that writes the kind of theory/Pooh-Bah posts that I love SSNL for.

Meh. -0 (don't really like it, but if everyone does, whatever).

Micro players can still read SSNL for this stuff, and I'm sure I and the other SSNL posters would pop in to micro and check out some hands.

[aces_dad]

there is bad advice in all forums, to keep the micro quality up will depend upon the best micro regs and forum mods.

as magoo mentioned the lowest forum does pay the price, i don't disagree with that, i would suggest all micro regs at least lurk in the forum one above.

this split will benefit 100/200NL a lot IMO though esp 100NL.

[goofyballer]

I'm in favor of it. Let's be honest, when's the last time we had a good discussion about a hand that took place at <100NL? I might include .25/.50 in Small Stakes, but 25NL and lower is definitely micro.

I dont really like this idea. Who is gonna post in the micro forum? Everyone who is at least ok at poker needs like few months to move from micro limits to small limits. I think orange is right.

[the machine]

anyone who plays 25 and 50 NL will post in the micro forum

[Brent.]

Fine as long as SSNL regulars pop down into the micro forum to help out everyone at 50NL, 25NL and 10NL...although I think in reality the micro forum will be left in the dust for the most part. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

The micro forum might become cluttered with bad advice, but along those same lines the 100/200 forum would probably contain a much better signal to noise ratio.

[aces_dad]

as listed in OP, 50NL and below.

and if it's that easy to move from micro to ssnl, why is it so painful to post hands there for a few months?
