| That's Debatable (Topics Thread) Ok, I brought this up in the Feb Chat thread and at least a couple people thought it wasn't totally stupid so I'll move it out here to try to firm up some details and get it started. Despite what we may think not every decision in poker is black or white, right or wrong. I'd like to set forth a series of topics where our answers won't always be so clear-cut. Where we can listen to opposing ideas and maybe take away insight that we didn't have before, even if our opinions remains unswayed. I mean this is the way we really should approach every new idea but I know I fall into the wtf-don't-ever-do-that-you-idiot camp too often. So what I want out of this thread is ideas for topic AND for volunteers to take a side and write a post defending your chosen side. You don't even have to believe what your saying to be true to choose that side, you just have to defend it like you do. Topics can be super general or VERY specific. They should be made up of the things that people ask most often and the things that almost no one talks about. Once a topic has it's defenders a topic specific thread will be created and only the defenders will post initially with each side stating their position and then having the chance to rebut the other. After their initial back and forth the rest can join in and continue the discussions. Some topic ideas: NLHE v PLO Cash vs SnG vs MTT 6-max vs Full Ring PT3 vs HEM Small pairs (22-66) in FR EP (open vs fold vs limp?) Small pairs in the blinds vs an EP raiser (flat v fold) Small pairs in the blinds vs a LP raiser (flat v fold v 3bt) Calling 3bets vs 4bet or fold You get the idea. Fairly common questions or situations where there seems to be more than 1 correct answer. Anyway, I've rambled enough. Let's see if this gets any interest or quickly fades into oblivion. |

| I'd be interested in seeing FR vs 6max, small PP vs LP raise, small PP early position especially but I don't know if I am really qualified to be a chief debater although I'd be more than happy to participate and hear these debates. Let's make this happen guys. |

| Small PP (22-66) early position full ring. I raise here - Can take down the blinds - People put you on a strong hand, can c-bet easier. - Disguises a small PP, flop a set with some big cards on the board you will probably get action. - Becomes recognizable that you are limping early with PP, won't get paid off enough. |

| How about: More tables and volume vs less tables and better reads I'm happy to take either side of that argument, either side of PLO v NLHE or the SnG side of the cash / SnG / MTT argument. I take it I start writing when someone accepts the other side of one of them? Just a thought BTW, would this be better in general poker rather than the cash game forum? Almost missed the thread because I'm a SnG donk and don't come in here much |

I'd say this topic belongs in Learning Poker so if there are no objections I'd prefer the thread to be made there. It's the 1st one so let's play this one out and see how it goes. Edit: just saw the thread. Looks great although I'll probably ask for it to be moved to LP because I think it might fit better there. Hope mayonnaise is ready. |

| Funnily enough I am really trying to get my game back on track and Im 7-9 tabling 6max atm. It seems to change on a day to day basis. I have 24 tabled at pokerstars both fr and 6mx. I have also 30-40 tables sng/dons. I have 8 tabled rush pokerz. |

| MMT'ing jagsti debating with less tables jagsti would be funny lol. Seriously though, from a guy who took a shot at SNE and is now playing less (compared to then) tables i think he could debate it himself, although 7-9 tables of 6max is hardly on the less tables side of the scale imo |
