Hand swap signup for October.

[vmacosta]

mvoss,
since many of us play 10/20 and 15/30 sometimes and midstakes has nothign like this, may I propose th following:
Split us up into two groups

*.5/1 - 3/6 and below
* 5/10 - 15/30

I imagine we may even get more of the midstakes regs participating if we include 10/20 and 15/30 and try to make steps that ensure the pairings are somewhat equal.

vmacosta, that's a very reasonable request and I'll think about it, there may be one problem though. The hand swaps are run mostly as a benefit for the SSSH posters and my first priority are the players who play within the SSSH limits of 5/10 and below. Lumping everything from .25/.50-3/6 into one group leaves that group with a very very wide range imo. Ideally I think 1/2 and below should be one group and 2/4-5/10 should be the other group. However due to the no. of signups at each limit and to accomodate those playing above 5/10 the groups so far have been 2/4 and below and 3/6 and above.

Actually I'll make a new thread with a poll. If the poll shows that a vast majority of the people here are for the split you propose I'll do that, if it's close I'll make the decision and if it's a clear win for the going on without changes we'll do that.

mvoss,
I have no idea the skill difference between .25/.5 and 3/6. You are probably correct. So then are 3 categories feasible or is that too much work and liable to have too many odd numbers?

I would assume I am at the lowest limits possible of anyone based on what I have seen. Ill need the best reviewer available obviously haha.

I dunno how many actual sshe there actually are that post here...would be interested to see who plays the real low limits at tilt?

[mjkidd]

in...mostly 3/6 and 5/10, with some drunken 10/20+ in as well.

Yeah, I thought about making 3 groups but don't really want to for these exact reasons.

[mattnxtc]

How many people are there that are at .5/1 and lower that are doing the handswapping? Am I one of about 2? haha

[Catsailor]

I guess I'm the other one. I play mostly .5/1 at Stars and FTP

[Langerz]

I'm in....playing 1/2 stars at the moment.

[mvoss]

IIRC there are quite a few people in playing .5/1 and 1/2 and some playing 0.25/0.50.
