these are known problems and it seems that it's stars fault. im getting wrong stats like every 15th hand at some tables and the PT guys told me it is def. not there fault. i switched back to PT3 bc atm PT4 is using way too much performance imo and was not able to handle large databases for me...

Lol. I feel like that too. The thing is I don't want to be against zoom. Its just that recently every new change has been negative for us. So I'm a little skeptical when Stars introduces a new game that conveniently creates a ton of extra rake.

With the weight contributed rake change there were people arguing that its not going to make things worse but even stars ended up admitting that it was able to take more $$ off the table this way. Luckily a lot of guys on the forums did something about it and got stars to at least lower the rake some to make up for this. But if people didn't question it I really doubt stars would have lowered the rake after the change and the poker economy would be worse off right now.

Stars doesn't have much strong competition in the online poker market. Which makes it a lot easier for stars to charge more for its service. When we no longer have the option to say "FU, I am switching sites" we lose a lot of power.

I just think we should all look at big changes and make sure its not making the games worse off. If stars is able to take more $$ off the tables in rake then that's less $$ in play for all of us.

cards are dealt slower, cards appear slower, so quickfold is slower, and transition to the next table after quickfold is also slower than rush.

all in all, zoom is ****ing slow!

Getting over 2k hands/hour 24-tabling with 4 tables of Zoom.

Unfortunately, Stars will soon be counting each Zoom table as four regular tables, so will only be able to play 4 Zoom + 8 regular after that.

[OMGClayDol]

or u can just play 8 (fr + 6m, or later when more stakes released mix limit like 100/200 or w/e)

[SmbSmbSmb]

and that won't count as 32 tables?
