My winrate comes from the reads i have on the regs as well as being able to quickly identify fish and crush them. I think both of those aspects disappears in a zoom format so i struggle to understand why anyone already winning at a good clip would consider moving.

Unless of course the people moving are not winning (which makes more sense to me than any other reason).

surely all the one-tabling recreational players are attracted to zoom since normal reg-infested games would be unplayable for them due to the slowness. I imagine they must love the speed of zoom.

This alone surely makes it profitable.

maybe stars is not advertising it enough or allowing regs to 4 table means u never play with a fish but yeah ZOOM is certified FISH FREE... reg to fish ratio around 100 to 1.

If you cant spot the sucker, you are the sucker.

If I deposit my bankroll in Euro and use that as my main currency, and play on the USD tables, will I lose anything on the constant conversions whenever I join/leave tables (and top-up)?

Thanks!

i'm pretty sure they convert your money when you sit at the table and then convert it at the same rate at which you sat at the table for. otherwise you'd be able to try to speculate and make money using the conversions by sitting in and out of tables.

if you lose anything from conversions it'll be +/- a penny at each table when they round up or down i think.

don't quote me on this though.

I converted $1k to euro and back, it cost $0.01, did the same for 100$ and it cost 0.02$. Kind of gay but whatever.

I'm guessing if currency traders started doing too many swaps they would put a halt to it but who knows.

I havent played zoom yet, but is it just me or are the tables just gone completely dead in off-peak times since zoom launched

[TimStone]

Increasing cap would be horrendous for the quality of zoom games. Imo they should rather decrease it for 200 and above...

[Zrebna]

100% against increasing the cap
-> at zoom we play against the average field what is good, but obv. the fish-reg-ratio should not get worse, and this would happen with an increasement to 6 tables...
