Hey guys i have few question regardless Zoom on PS. Here is the thing, i have been playin in bunch of rooms, where competition is not as great as on PS especialy zoom. So, number of players, table selecting are some of the problems for which i am am considering to move to PS, and one and most important is HUD. There are some rooms where HUD is not supported, or it is but you have to buy converter , and as i am still nanostakes player i dont have very good grinding setup or such, and i am playing on laptop so it is a a bit problem to run tracking software+converter+poker room and of course when i tile tables it is very hard to see all the stats. Problem is that all players from my poker communty says that it is very stupid to play nanos-micros at PS (especialy zoom), and they are right but that is my option now i guess. I have roll for nl10, and my plan is to play like 2-3 tables of zoom until i hit 25BI to try nl25 and if there i could sustine decent wr, to buy new setup. What do u think? Is nl10 beatble there, you have ti beat average player (full of regs+rake)? I have read somewhere that red_baron said that HE wouldnt had more than 11-12bb/100 if he starts to play nl10 zoom? So my main question is is that a frustrating waste of time for like an average nano player?

You can definitely be a winner at zoom microstakes. It depends what is important for you in poker.If you like the money and want to move ASAP then go for a soft site like 888poker.If you want to improve and learn the game, go to PS.Me,for example, I don't really care about the money. I want to improve the fastest as I can.So I play on zoom.

Everything is beatable if you are good enough apart from like high stakes stuff, if you don't use a HUD zoom is good to play because people won't have that advantage over you, just make sure you know good solid poker.
Zoom can be tilting though as the variance swings are very quick compared to normal tables but if you can cope with that then you should be fine.

I do hear to beat NL10 you have to be able to play ranges though.

Play reg tables if your goal is to get money to get yourself a decent setup. Zoom is not the way to go for you.

Reg tables are definitely softer, and if your priority is earning a few thousand ASAP they're the best option. Personally I don't find them as fun and I think they're not as good for learning to move out of the micros.

Good Players like to table select, in zoom.... you cannot table select. All you have in zoom are a bunch of tight-fish who are useless postflop. I prefer it over reg tables!

When you get to 25nl+, you have to learn to be balanced with your ranges as players get very advanced! For 2nl-10nl it is great!
