Sorry, I don´t understand... What´s gonna (perhaps) be capped? The number of tables you can play or the amount you can bet?

TIA

CAP would be great for everyone who plays CAP, then there is 100BB and CAP, same as the regular tables, everyone is happy.

The people who only play 100BB don't want CAP because they want the fish to themselves in one pool, if it were up to them there would be 100BB min and no regular CAP tables either.

If there is enough demand and players for CAP to be viable(which there clearly is), then it should be added IMO.

My guess is the reason they've done this is that they are releasing Zoom games with smaller player pools. They are probably worried about server load. If everyone playing NL25 moved over to NLZ25 then the number of hands per second their servers would have to support would increase. Consequently they are releasing NLZ100 first, as it is a smaller player pool and allows them to increase the zoom player base more gradually.

How will milestone bonus be calculated at ZOOM?

I dun want to fast fold the milestone hand

I asked them a few days ago and atm it is planned that zoom will not count for milestone hands. This may change in the future but right now thats how it will likely be handed.

Stefan, will there be a no limit/pot limit Omaha 8 released? These games are more popular than fixed limit Omaha 8 cash games.
specifically, nlo8 starts at $0.10/$0.25, so you can definitely throw out a 2/5 cent or 5/10 cent nlo8 to start and a $0.25/$0.50 PLO8?

Any chance they can fix the vip level status stars? Only a relatively minor thing but it's bugged to ****.

I have no problem if they add CAP but at least make the normal 100bb tables at 50bb+ min buyin.

I understand that but the why would stars say "lets dilute the player pool at NL 9 max and 6 max, PLO 6 max and limit hold em but not at cap", it doesn't make any sense.

Sorry Cap guys, your games are going to get split just like every other game/format has or will be.

Damn, even micro LHE Zoom is a nitfest.
Average players/flop is 20%.
Guess LHE Zoom was not such a hot idea after all. I am going back to normal tables. :-(

The CAP players want Zoom CAP. It's the 100bb players that are complaining.

Did $25nl just launch in the last 15 min? There's 10 and 17 people in the two player pools for it.

$100nl is also up but has good sized player pools of 436 and 360.

It's really hard to be a winner at lowstakes CAP games. Almost no one will come out as a winner. Most of the money will go to rake and will be gone from the players. Can you maybe figure out it now? Or do you want it in more detail?

Those who wants CAP games are greedy **** that are too dumb to play 100bb poker.
