Hi, relatively new to NLHE, I learnt the game and began playing a couple of years ago, and play pretty much exclusively on Stars. I began playing $0.02/$0.05 full ring cash before changing to 6-max just under a year-ago. I'm a 6.43BB/100 winner at NL25 over 55K hands, and am currently winning at a colossal $0.01/100 at NL50 over a 41K sample.

Watching various poker twitchers and YouTubers made me want to try out Zoom poker. I enjoy playing it due to the amount of action, but over about 50k hands, I'm a slight loser at Zoom NL25, and a huge loser at Zoom NL50.

I know it's not the biggest sample size, but would there be an obvious reason for this? I know variance is higher on Zoom, but is there a particular tendency that makes some players bigger losers at Zoom, and some players bigger winners than they are in regular cash games. Instinctively I would guess that aggression and stickiness are probably preferable tendencies for winning Zoom players. And should we open tighter pre-flop in Zoom Poker? Any advice welcome, I've recently made the decision to lay off Zoom for now anyway and just focus on the games that I can beat.

Reg games are allways softer and you get better bb/100 but in zoom you can get better hourly. Just my two cents but in zoom gto aproach is a good strategy. You should play the game you make the best hourly.
