yes, but that is the plan. the business case for stars is not to provide regs with a possibility to play more hands/hour, keeping the same winrate and making more rakeback.

the business case for stars is to distribute the fish over a larger sample of regs, giving everyone a lower winrate and making them playing more hands to generate more rake.

every reg who is playing zoom needs to be aware that he is just filling stars pockets.

i found the sales pitch pretty interesting from this provider:

This zoom is a lot of fun. Hope they add 1-2plo and 2-4plo soon. I would def play that at times.

In the very least, can stars look at each players zoom table limits on a case by case basis like for normal tables? Increase tables if meet threshold requirements and decrease # of tables if they are slowing down games too much.

What?

EVERY player is filling 'stars pockets. If you can do that and also fill your own pockets, happy days. There's no way you can tell me there aren't people who not only win at Zoom, but also win at more per hour than they do elsewhere even if their bb/100 is lesser.

i think the player pools are just too small during nonpeak hours to run super smooth.
can you do something about that stars? for example make it official and promote it as hell!
fulltilt is coming soon.. (maybe..)

+1 to stars promoting it more... i use to hate the idea of taking away table dynamics but god damn im just in love with zoom & the format.. way easier to get in quality hands + quantity

p.s once i took off animations my tables ran less laggy... would like to be able to play maybe 6tables at a time though....

I'd like to see a deposit bonus that can only be cleared at zoom. ftp did this a few times and it permanently increased traffic. I think right now a lot of the player pool either doesn't know what zoom is, or has no incentive to try it.

Rush also seemed much faster.

One in four cash game hands played on the internet(all sites) is on Zoom Poker according to pokefuse. That's pretty lulz considering it's still in beta.

How do they even come up with this statistic? It would seem that there's no way of tracking this?

Stars must be thrilled. High rake and volume and super low winrates.
