Re: Zoom Poker thread

you cant quick fold the big blind. i think thats a problem. but 2x or 2.5x from the btn must be profitable.

Re: Zoom Poker thread

I haven't tried it yet but I presume it is mostly nitty grinders playing and not the recreational fish. Is anyone finding 2NL Zoom has attracted the fish yet?

Re: Zoom Poker thread

It will be interesting to see if the normal non-zoom tables become softer

Jeez! That's more than I've made in 3 months!

I'll be on soon and you can expect me to be back here whining about ridiculous bad beats in a few hours.

Ah, right, that makes a lot more sense, certainly. Thanks for clarifying.

Re: Zoom Poker thread

the differing stack sizes make for an interesting dynamic. How much risk are you prepared to take Or...how many chips are you comfortable with in front of you as there will always be someone with a bigger stack. I couldnt work out a good solution for this so sat out when I was at 2.5 BI's what are your thoughts on BRM when playing ZOOM

Re: Zoom Poker thread

Learn to play deep would be the best choice I think.

In terms of BRM I don't think it matters much.

Re: Zoom Poker thread

What's the bigges stack you've seen so far?

I'd be very impressed if Zumby has his full $90 on the table.

Re: Zoom Poker thread

if u click check/ fold button u insta fold ur hand if somebody raises... but why no insta bb fold button instead? or may be an extra option to do so?

what do u think will be the highest limits? (wasn´t ft at 1/2 or 2/4 or smthg?)

omaha ?

dont think normal games will be softer (dont care for micros) cuz fish want to play zoom, dont they?

Re: Zoom Poker thread

software in theri beta version is not running very perfect yet

almost every thrid hand I am one of the pokerstars pros with that symbol on the left top of my sn

omaha should be higher limits already imo
