What do you think of zoom tables?

seiya1989 · Jul 2, 2023

I like the dynamic it has, the fact that I don't have to wait for all the players to finish the round, I just discard my hand and another table

I don't like this format. I don't like playing cash games at all because they usually only bring me losses. Maybe I lack experience, but cash games are very difficult in my opinion.

sumdumguy · Jul 3, 2023

Yes, it's good that you can rule out and start the round automatically, I prefer normal MTT, sit down and analyze each player like the old days before tracking software

(For example.)

The zoom tables are the fastest way to play only premium hands...

I think this is complete nonsense because you constantly have to adapt to different players more and more, but without zoom in cash tables you can study your opponent and play from his game

i stopped playing zoom . i used to like it , play whenever i like and leave the table , fast format , fast way to accumulate rakeback . but i saw many bad beats , also i saw i had no winnings on the long run . so i decided to stop . i couldn't level up to the next stake of zoom .

You gotta play it for a while and few the field. Most of players are recreational and adventurous people who want to try their luck on these tables.
If you play only premium hands you will not be profitable: you have to steal a lot from BU and SB and call less from the BB.
You have to fold absurdly strong hands when your opponents give too much action into the pot.
For example, yesterday I was playing Zoom versus an unknown player. I had AKo opened 3x and got a 3-bet from villain BU of 10x (slightly polarized sizing, 9x would do the work as fine for value or for bluff). I decided to call and the flop comes rainbow 7A5. Good flop right? I checked and villain jammed almost 100 BB right off the bat. I insta folded.
Polarized sizing is a thing we will see a lot playing Zoom and it means that either villain has a very strong hand or it has nothing.
I folded this hand because I felt villain wasn’t messing around with AQ for example. It was AA and I would’ve called just for deception.
Another hand, I called a 3-bet OOP having KK and the flop comes A2K. Perfect flop, I checked and villain jammed. I couldn’t fold here but I knew it was AA. I called because I had a backdoor flush: villain had AA in fact.
However, sometimes players go for huge pots having nothing or hands so weak that makes me laugh.
A player that I know to be a weak one made a 4-bet and I had AA and decided to jam preflop: it showed 55! 😂

I don't like them, they're too fast and I can't play them.

Gh0stL · Jul 17, 2023

Hi, this kind of tournament are so fast is difficult to read at opponents.

GERSteven · Jul 18, 2023

Zoom is not one of my favorite poker games and I rarely play it.

dreamer13 · Jul 18, 2023

Zoom is a fussy running through the forest with a strategy, and suddenly I stumble upon a wild boar or sitting in a convenient ambush with a strategy, and suddenly a wild boar runs through here. There are psychophysical nuances. Zoom is like a drug.

odonob · Jul 18, 2023

No skill in zoom or blast formats, pure luck and variance is even greater.

R.Holynskyi · Jul 18, 2023

While I generally prefer tournaments, if I'm playing cash games, definitely not zoom. I like to study the game of my opponents and play thoughtfully without rushing.

ga25x · Jul 18, 2023

I like the speed playing zoom. Regular cash tables are to slow for me.

pentazepam · Jul 23, 2023

It's a rake trap. Plus the fact you can't table select makes your winnings way less.

0546474 · Jul 27, 2023

I sometimes play this format (when there are no suitable tournaments for me) poker on PokerStars at micro limits !!! I like !!!

BOXING71 · Jul 27, 2023

For me it is too complicated and not interesting yet.

jcxmendes · Jul 27, 2023

I don't play normally, but when I'm out of time I risk a chip

makisaa · Jul 28, 2023

Yes they are very exciting games, but you need to be careful because there is danger to eat your stack easy!

Hi, seiya1989! I fully agree with You! Me also very like a quick Game! Therefore I'm for the zoom tables in Poker! Good Luck! See You for the tables!

carmenzu · Jul 28, 2023

I don't like zoom tables because it is impossible to read the players, since the players are changed tables in each new hand

Mantinhoo · Jul 28, 2023

It's fun, but too much risk. Can quickly win, but at the same time lose. there's not a lot of strategy, there's no space for a bluff either.

THGE10 · Jul 28, 2023

I think it's excellent because I don't have much time to play poker

recerveau · Jul 28, 2023

For those who like a fast-paced game, it's a good one. I confess that I don't play much to have a deeper analysis.
