At the end of the day its up to the individual to decide whether they want to talk about the games they play, but banning the discussion in the thread seems ludicrous especially when historically its been a common topic in here.
I'll bite. I've played probably 100+ hours at both 25NL and 50NL zoom, and although a skill gap is there it's not as wide as I'd expected.
Three bets are far less common at 25NL, and usually are the real deal, and you get a lot of players auto-raising buttons if folded to in 50NL, but far less so at 25NL.
I was surprised that a decent number of 25NL players seemed to have at least a passing grasp on bet sizing and position. At 50NL you get more players who don't release to a c-bet if they have KQ on a 10-9-4 board, whereas at 25NL that's almost always a fold from an opponent.
You get more spewy play at 50NL, making it more swingy but as much - if not more so - in a good way than bad. Both stakes have tons of draw chasers you can punish, plus in 50NL you find players who bet their draws on the come whereas I saw less of that in 25NL.
