Zoom / Rush Poker thread

Ive been playing at 2nl and 5nl so far. What a weird game! LOTS of supernova playing them which is a minus. Dont fast fold when you are the CO/BTN/SB cause you can steal - well, thats what I was told but it isnt true. I never managed to steal once in about 500 hands. not ONCE! And the stupid supernovas robbed me KK < QQ, QQ < AQ etc. How is it that they can stack off so light and be supernova?

Anyway. Anyone got any good tactics? How many tables is good to play? I was on 2 and it was fairly bouncing along! Does anyone know how to configure HEM to run for zoom yet?

Re: Zoom Poker thread

at the rush if i seen a reg raise & i thought it might be a big hand & get to show down i would sitout & watch & hope it got to showdown & make a note of there hand & position.
after a few of these notes u will have a better idea of there range. goodluck to u sir

I never played much Rush, and I haven't played any Zoom, but shouldn't we expect stealing to be less successful in these games?

When you raise the BTN in a 'normal' game, the blinds, bless them, are sitting there with any two cards, and are ripe for the taking. But at a Zoom table, if they're still sitting there, they've chosen not to turbo-muck, so their ranges are going to be stronger aren't they? Or am I missing something?

You don't know they've pre-folded until the action gets to them. (Nobody folds out of turn).

Re: Zoom Poker thread

I think they plan on doing it in the future (check the pokerstars round table thread in the zoo).

Lee jones was hinting about it.

I wish they had quick fold BB, I don't see the harm in it.
