Fast poker as the new tendency in industry

John Poker · Nov 23, 2016

Hi! Now I often find a lot of information about fast poker launch. Many poker rooms actively develop this theme. For example, Fast Fold, Zoom from Poker Stars, Boost Poker, Rapid Poker from EvenBet Gaming. According to your opinion, is fast poker the new tendency in the gaming industry? Will it replace classical poker?

It won't replace classical poker.
The format in those fast games are probably for the millennials, most have no patience, they have grown up in a society where quick results have become the norm due to technology.

ZOOM/Fast fold is not much different from classical and I disagree that it can show better/faster results than classical, its just that you have to play with fewer tables than classical, where you can sit at 20 tables at once.

Zoom is simply a different approach to one and the same issue - very many hands to fold before actual play.

gosto muito de jogar o formato zoom mas o tradicional é mais valido

All kinds of quick poker profitable for poker rooms. So now there are varieties of such games. But the Classical poker will never replace any roulette.

I definitely think both will grow and continue to exist for a long time.

Nah this Microwave generation wont last forever.

It was said that Zoom on PS is nearly 250 hands per hour per table. Players have reported being able to grind 1000 hands per hour 4-tabling without a loss of pace. That’s over triple the hands/hr of regular tables.

Of course, these fast variety in large part is roulette.
but sometimes when you miss a few dollars to play something , u can risk a little

I like, play a lot of hands - especially when I'm on + !

I do agree that the poker rooms love the fast fold format but for the player it will be very difficult to maintain a decent win rate without being able to table select. I personally do not like the format but see why the rooms love it.

Do you really think what this kind of behavior is a new generation problem or of the industry trend that squeezes the maximum of the players and pay the minimum of taxes?

This zoom mode is another aspect of poker, very good to train hands value that well used can help you in classic poker

Odysseus101 · Nov 27, 2016

I think that Zoom takes less attention and therefore less skill. Being on a new table with each hand means that I can't as well figure out the other players nor can they figure me out. Since I like to play while I'm doing other things, or if I'm going to play more than one table at the same time, then Zoom suits me just fine. And if I'm playing conservatively, I'll play just to break even but the fast play racks up the reward points or star coins or whatever.

I played better in the classic poker. In quick - the results are worse.

Sourtubbie · Nov 28, 2016

The fast tendency is more a nod to wanting players to play more and more of a bingo style of play. It encourages more rake as the players in cash are playing more hands and in the tournies it allows players to play in short windows between life.
Not a purist but I think there is room for both,once they start to push traditional poker out,it becomes a problem for me.

Thanks , that's a statistical info I didn't know .
I don't believe zoom kind of poker games will replace in the future the classical poker ones , they will co-exist , zoom-kind has it's followers , but the old ones with the regular speed willl always be no1 choice

heix24 · Nov 28, 2016

good to play, sometimes on the regular table its just so slow
played tournament for more than 5 hours to get to top 10

Sourtubbie · Nov 29, 2016

Was reading this magazine today and came across a article that may help explain the drive towards faster poker. Its a long read but it should solve any questions you may have as to why they are making it faster.
Seriously read this,its from the Atlantic which writes really good articles:

in my opinion fast poker is necesary for me cause it sharpens my mind and take decisions faster.

John A · Nov 30, 2016

Not a fan of it, and having coached players who primarily play fast poker, the depth of their thought process is severely severely lacking from what I've seen in general. I think it's great if you just want to mindlessly play a bunch of hands quickly. But if you want to play poker, it's not as profitable, and it's really more mechanical and personally not interesting to me.

migesan · Nov 30, 2016

zoom on pokerstar not bad, I had a lot of good, but unfortunately rarely play

TulasMoreno · Nov 30, 2016

i think some zoom tournaments at pokerstars are good.

dbchristy · Nov 30, 2016

I LOSE CONSISENTLY

zam220 · Nov 30, 2016

Fast poker is a fast rake machine,All kinds of quick poker profitable for poker rooms

mugge47 · Nov 30, 2016

I don't think poker should be played fast because the less hands you see the more you rely on luck to win
