Question titles for hand histories

Question

Should we enforce a standard format for question titles when the question revolves around a hand history?

Something like: {Limts} {Format}, Question

For example:

$5 NLH SitNGo, How much should I raise?

or

$1/$2 NLH Cash, How do I respond to this check-raise?

Answer 1

Absolutely. It's a big issue, and one that other forums haven't addressed well enough.

I'd propose putting something of this nature in the FAQ's as it's crucial to being able to search relevant topics.

Something I've seen already relates to the definition of blinds. Let's be clear,

2bb = 1BB

Some examples of game types I'd suggest are:

• LHE = Limit Hold Em
• NLHE = No Limit Hold Em
• PLO = Pot Limit Omaha
• PLOHiLo = Pot Limit Omaha High Low Split

Examples of stake information are usually set to reflect 100bb of the Big Blind. For the most part currency isn't an issue as most games are in USD or EUROS which thankfully aren't too different, so:

• 100 = $0.50(sb)/$1.00(bb)

It's just a start though of course. As the questions and game topics become more diverse the list will expand as the community does.

Answer 2

I think this is one of the main benefits of the tag system. I think we can have a tag for the poker variant (e.g. texas-hold-em) as well as for details of the game (e.g. 1-2nl, 5-sit-and-go, etc.). I think it's more important that we agree to the best way to tag questions than to standardize question titles.
