Noob question I know, but how do you win at Zoom poker? There must be a few ways to make the tightness at the tables work for you.

This came from the PokerStars blog, are there some valid points in here?

1) Don't fold in the small blind automatically. Many players in the big blind will set auto fold on and you can get the pot just by min-raising them. Make a note on these kind of players. These steals can be vital to improve your non showdown winnings.

2) When sitting on the big blind, and someone in the cut-off position or on the button is raising, check their steal percentage and fold to 3bet percentage; if both numbers are high, three-bet them very light. This can be applied when you are in the small blind as well.

3) If your opponent raises pre-flop and he doesn't continuation bet, bet 100% of the time - he will fold almost all the time. By not continuation betting, those people act like they are sticking a big billboard on their forehead saying, "I'm done with the hand."

4) If a tight player four-bets you and your three-bet percentage is fairly normal, you can be almost sure your QQ is no longer good.

5) After you double up, you can decide to leave the table and join another Zoom table again with 100 BB- it may be good idea if you are not experienced enough playing 200+ BB stack.

6) A check-raise is particularly powerful against good regulars. If you call them down pre-flop with a pocket pair, check, let them continuation bet and check-raise them, no matter if you hit or miss. This is even more profitable if you decide just to call their three-bet pre-flop as the pot/reward of this action is much bigger.

These apply in general and are not just Zoom related.

Point 2: There is a fold to resteal stat which is perhaps better than fold to 3-bet. I fold to 3bets more than I fold to resteals.

I told you I was a noob

Number 6 is a stupid generalization... ofc c/r should be a vital part of your arsenal but you have to include other factors such as board texture, villain etc...

ZOOM isn't much different from normal tables except it takes way longer to develop a dynamic with other players, and that means you may need a more solid and fundamental game. All of those points are good for normal tables and ZOOM.

I've not played a lot, but have been finding a lot more people at the extremities than at a usual 6max table. ie. Supernit and Superlag

As such, if you play a solid TAG or LAG game I don't think it matters, you should be able to profit. Also vpp obv helps.
