What is your definition on:
micro stakes
low stakes
lower midstakes
higher midstakes
lower highstakes
mid highstakes
and of course the nose bleeding stakes
I'm not sure if I think nosebleed should be $550+ or $2200+. $2200+ is definitely a big jump, but the lack of action for it makes me think that lower might still be sort of "nosebleed" level.
I don't think that Stars has an $88 level, but dividing the $88 games and the $110 games into different categories would be really unusual to me since these levels are almost identical in skill.
Mid Stakes - $33/55, though if a high stakes player is talking I generally assume $55-230.
High Stakes - $570+
Nosebleed - 2k+
I use these terms loosely though, I mean they mean different things when different people say them. When I played $5s, I thought $110s were fairly high and that $500 was huge. Now, not so much.
I usually refer to 2k+ as nosebleed because those are the levels that I see a lot of top players play up to but rarely play at 2k+. High stakes I consider 570+ because you really have to be pretty good to play at those levels now, you can't just ABC solid poker it up and win money at those levels these days, there's too many good players that will sit you forever if you're not really focused and skilled.
I hate the Stars "high" thing for $110s. I'd rather have them put $22s in the low and add $110s in the mid or at least make a new "high" for 110-345 and a higher type category for 550+.
Anyway, don't worry too much about labels other than knowing what people are talking about approximately.

I think this breaks it down too much. For me it is more like:
Micro: $1-11
Low: $22-33
Mid:$55-$110
High: $220-330

Stars has been including the 100s in the High Stakes category...
I don't think that Stars has an $88 level, but dividing the $88 games and the $110 games into different categories would be really unusual to me since these levels are almost identical in skill.
Low Stakes - Anything below $30s.
Micro Stakes - Anything below $10s
Mid Stakes - $33/55, though if a high stakes player is talking I generally assume $55-230.
High Stakes - $570+
Nosebleed - 2k+
