just wanted to quickly confirm.. the rake at zoom is calculated the same right? i keep seeing people say that the rake is higher, i'm assuming they just mean you pay more bb/100 because of a higher vpip or something, not that the way it's calculated per pot is actually different??

It used to be 10mins. For me it's now 30mins on the 25nl FR , but some people say it's still 10mins on the games they play.

Guys pls let me know , thanks!
1)if i can obtain the same amount of "Fpp" of each hand in zoom tables as i do in normal games, thanks!

IF so , then grinder must play zoom tables!
2) as for the rake problem , is the rake paid by players higher in zoom tables?

This is a really good idea. Ok Stars are you really listening to twoplustwo or just paying lip service?

We’re allowed to play max. 4 Zoom tables or 24 normal tables.

At one Zoom table we’re dealt about 270 hands per hour, which means we play about 1080 hands per hour.
At one normal table we’re dealt about 90 hands per hour, which means we play about 2160 hands per hour.

Therefore you should allow us to play 8 zoom tables to get the same amount of hands per hour as with normal tables.

"Sit out next big blind" should be "Sit out next blind" because otherwise it's possible to be dealt in SB.

Agree, if i am playing 50 NL and have $50 now (Assuming i started with $25) i click on Sit out next BB so i can now stop and join 100 NL but all of the sudden it takes small blind from me and now i have to wait until i get back to $50 again to join 100 NL.

Sit out Next blind is more clear than sit out next BB

You start the session as the big blind, why would you want to sitout on the SB?

Please introduce an anti-rathole feature.

Seeing a shortstacker get all in, double, insta leave then come back and apply the same 'strategy' is so 2009.

If you start Stars from the shortcut that you get when you install, this is true, because that shortcut is actually to StarsUpdate.exe and not Stars. If you go into the Stars folder and click Stars directly or make a shortcut to that, then you can start without updating. This will not work if it is an essential update - it will say that you are running an outdated version.

1 zoom table counts as 2 normal tables for the limit. I tried to 24 table normal and 8 table zoom, didnt work.

Agree, playes become tighter without adequate notes /hud .

ARE U SURE RAKE PAID AND FPP POINTS yield are the same, this is a very important issue for me.

Of course they don't show them as they can't mine them.
