For hand histories, I think the following tags apply:

  1. Poker variant (texas-hold-em, omaha, 7-card-stud)
  2. Betting structure (limit, no-limit, pot-limit)
  3. live or online
  4. cash-game or tournament
  5. Stakes (1-2nl)
  6. hand-history

Some of the information is duplicate (no-limit and 1-2nl), but which do we cut?

I suppose a related question would be how much information we plan to cram into a tag?

texas-hold-em + no-limit => nlhe
no-limit + stakes => 1-2nl
1-2nlhe?

It will be very hard to follow tags nicely if we go to that level of granularity.

This has been requested before and declined without comment. However, that was before Stack Exchange was what it is now, and that user did not try to address specific reasons as you did. – Michael McGowan Jan 11 at 17:05
In #1 I believe the variant should just say "hold-em". – Toby Booth♦ Jan 12 at 4:18
That's fine if we have a texas-hold-em synonym. New users that start typing texas should have the correct tag suggested. – Chris Marasti-Georg♦ Jan 12 at 12:19
If you add a tag to the body of the description below the question and not as a direct tag, does it show up in the filter system? If so, and 5 tags aren't enough, then adding a tag into the body to replace a relevant word would be a way of using additional tags. That said, I used it a couple of times just to experiment and it slightly detracts from readability IMO. – Toby Booth♦ Feb 28 at 23:39

We need to figure this out; whether by more tags or better use of tags.

I'd like more tags if possible.

Barring that, I suggest #1 and #2 can often be combined. "NLHE" and "PLO8" are examples of common abbreviations that combine the two concepts. Additionally, one probably isn't intereted in finding questions about pot-limit specifically but rather as it pertains to Omaha, etc.

However, I think this comes with the heavy cost of making tags like "texas-hold-em" less useful.
