I’d imagine it’s the same for everyone, I really would like to see a good winning graph at 50 or above.
I’ve beaten 10 at 2.5 over 260k hands 5 tabling, but prob down 20-30 buyins at 50 over same sample.
I don't know a lot about zoom, but I know a lot about poker in general. Assuming you're a winning player, your win rate of 2.5bb/100 is not meaningful enough to protect you from any sort of variance in the long run. Being down 20-30 buyins over a similar sample size is basically like losing 1.5bb/100, which is not even that crazy of a variance.
Seriously, I don't know why anybody would want to play a game where you're happy to win 1 buyin per 4k hands. To me that's just insanity or a break-even spot at best and my time is worth more than that. I'm sure a ton of people would love to be good enough to just break even, but that's not why you're here, is it?
I would recommend finding a better spot than NL zoom, because there are still plenty. I'd consider switching to a game with lots of action and huge skill gaps, like plo. If it wasn't for the bots most PLO games on WPN would be equivalent to NL cash of 2005. Even with those ****ing bots around I'm still able to find at least one amazing table literally every session and you'd be shocked if you saw my win rate over a similar sample size.
