What is the justification for splitting the Hand Analysis forum into Ring Hand Analysis and Tournament Hand Analysis forums?

I mean, certainly tournaments are played differently from ring, but how does that warrant separate forums?

Converse.

I think we'd be more inclined to get into more hypothetical poker situations for tournaments and ring games, where as right now all we do is post hands and have the first couple of posts be the answer that everybody agrees with

Almost every ohter decent forum has this structure and I like it..
If you want the forum to grow and we start getting a higher number of posts it helps like-minded people form communites in their specialist fields and gives good structure.

But I'm trying to understand the logical rationale behind this still. Why do tournament and ring threads need separate forums?

[DeeYakaBaka]

my simple and in no way at all scientific answer would be that if General Online Poker discussion, Online Poker Room Discussion and General Poker Discussion warrant 3 seperate forums then ring and tourney deserve seperate forums.

my slightly more scientific answer would be that they are both very different forms of poker and so both should not be thrown into the one forum.

having them seperate should also guarantee that each post gets more replies as a SNG/MTT hand wont get lost amongst the ring games....from my point of view, i hardly ever even check the HA forum as i have no interest in NL ring and i couldnt be bothered to go through each post to find a SNG hand(whether id add anything of value is an entirely different topic)

having them seperate may also attract more new members if they see that we have dedicated forums to each form of pokery.

So would Hand Analysis be split into Ring Hand Analysis and Tournament Hand Analysis forums, or would we keep Hand Analysis and add Ring Strategy and SNG & MTT Strategy forums?

The former.

Main reason is for conceptual discussions like restealing, playing out of the blinds, and such are so grossly different.

It just seems annoying to me to be reading a hand and then realize halfway through its a tourney hand and I really dont care. Has no relevance to my game which is cash. I wouldnt mind being able to differentiate between the two.

I agree with Dee. I don't even bother looking in the HA board now because the SNG hands are buried and I don't play ring.
