Whoa Bthere is Tony Gregg...thanks for thr info, guys.

For 3 regs to play zoom they need to all think that they are +EV in the 3 handed line-up. There's no value to being someone who starts a game because everybody can just pile into the zoom pool if a fish joins. To start a regular table 3 handed has value though because you get in any good games that start which you may have missed if you didn't start the game. Therefore a 3 handed game can run where 1 or 2 players think they are roughly breakeven or even slightly -EV because they can get their EV back when games start.

So there's not much chance 3 regs would play zoom 3 handed at 50/100 rather than fight over the 25/50 regular tables.

Why did it take a year for stars to arrive at the same conclusion?

Very good explanation thank you
