    Mmmm. Quite a jump from NL50 to NL100 as far as BR Management is concerned I would imagine, so I can see the need for one in between.

    Out of curiosity, is there much difference in player ability between these two levels? and what sort of bankroll would we need to jump from NL50 to NL100?

    there is no difference.  80nl is full of most 50/100/200nl regs and no one is gonna use 80nl as a stepping stone to 100nl the games don't run regularly enough, usually only 1 table of 80nl running

    as an aside the blind level 40p/80p just tilts me so glad its gone

    Hi again Mr Raise, apologies for not responding sooner. Had a bit of a difficult night last night I'm afraid, & was very tired, & a touch grumpy, when I finished playing.

    Q1. Yes.

    Q2. They have been monitored closely for some time now, due to almost total lack of liquidity. During the last few weeks, traffic right across the Site, on all products & formats, has been running at record Levels - & yet the 40-80NL Tables remained stubbornly deserted. So, as a matter of housekeeping & husbandry, & good technical reasons too, the decision was made in yesterday's Management Meeting to close them, & remove them.
     
    That was done immediately, & I was charged with making it known on the Community - which I promptly forgot - my apologies.

    Hi Trev,

    When you say you can see the need for them, you must be very perceptive, not to say lonely! Nobody else could see it, which is presumably why they were almost always empty.

    I am afraid I have no idea of the difference betewen 50NL & 100NL, as I don't play Hold 'Em Cash except when duty calls. I cannot imagine there is a great deal of difference in skill Levels between them, to be honest.

    yea i have to say its pretty tilting to 3bet to what you think is 10x at nl50 only to find out you are on nl80 tale and you made it 6x and got 5 callers.


    appreciate the answer though, now just need to increase min buyin to 25bbs and give timebank :D
