Pretty much the same thing, but your winrate will be lower as the zoom players are generally better than cash game players. Just remember to bluff less and value bet more.

Interesting... I thought just the opposite way assuming all professionals play at regular tables.
Since I was mistaking it makes sense to play tighter at zoom tables and open with premium hands only.
 
In my opinion the best strategy is: use your position. If you are in Button, or cutoff, or the table turned in fold. Use a 3x raise to get the blinds, if they pay your raise, or reraise; pay attention cuz they will be speaking with you.
 
Zoom is basically poker with little knowledge of your opponents. Bluffs will work occasionally, but I find the most profitable strategy is play premium hands and use position. And don't be afraid to fold big hands and wait for better spots if the situation warrants.
 
No strategy, this kind of game is ruining the old classic poker..

There are opinions that in average zoom players are stronger, if it's so then they probably have a working strategy?

Sounds reasonable. But compared to regular ring game it makes sense to play tighter, at least it looks like that.
 
My opinion is and I am using it for tournaments Zoon and tables is throwing all small hands until you touch a good ay to go around for every 4 or 5 hands touches you good as all players zoon are better for the player that cash

If zoom players are stronger, that's even more reason not to play. We want every advantage we can get when playing poker. So why would we want to play the strong zoom players and ignore the weak fish on ring games?
 
It's not about stronger players lol.

You just see more hands since you fast fold. Of course this means you're not able to play the opponent and resort to playing the holdings.

PLO zoom is very fun
 
zoom

The best strategy for playing the zoom is betting whenever you have a good hand, the best thing to do is to give up most of the time
 
I absolutely love zoom. I win a lot of money from it but I also get foolish and lose a lot. Play your good hands and watch your player closely. Reading what they are saying through raise/reraise is crucial. Not a place to be trying to hit runner. Don't hit on flop get out and move on is my strategy. I fold A LOt of hands before I stick with one and even when I do I raise/reraise pre flop to see what my opponent is "possibly" holding.

Agree. And moreover it looks like the best strategy at zoom is to stick to ABC-poker. No bluffs, no slow-plays, just tight and aggressive play. And probably it makes sense since you play every new hand with new opps.
 
I love to play zoom easy way to earn money and offcoure easy way to loose also I only play good hands if flop in my favor I mostly play tightly
 
Zoom is the same thing, but most of the players play with good hands on zoom, on the ring tables they play more aggressive
 
Zoom players tend to play tighter ranges, so you should tighten up as well. They will often fold to a reraise or big flop bet, but if you get resistance, watch out. Remember most aren't playing with anything less than a strong suited connector. Position and strong hands are the way to go.
 
My favourite thing about playing zoom is how fast you accumulate starscoins. Then the rebates make up for foolish calls/useless bluffs
