Zoom poker, worth playing?

I like to play zoom only in cash tables and not in tournaments, before I used to play at 9 max at cash tables at PS but they disappeared, but there are still 6 max ones sometimes I play there when I just want to play for a while and try to get extra money with the advantage of being able to bluff more and take small pots where players tend to abandon the hand faster for this type of turbo zoom format.

the other "new advantage" or rules of the zoom tables is that they are giving you an opportunity to win a percentage of the pot in the spin or when you are with all the chips in the center of the table, the screen freezes showing the cards of your opponent and yours and see if your opponents are ahead of you or behind you looking for a draw that can beat your hand and at that moment they give you an option to take a percentage of the pot before the last ones are revealed cards on the board and depending on the situation or the project they are looking for, you will have to make a decision to secure a percentage% of the pot or finish the hand and try to take the entire pot, it will always depend on the situation you are in if you are ahead or looking for a project or vice versa.

All-in cash out is also available on regular cash tables, but obviously not in tournaments.

I guess there is not much difference to regular cash games. Most players in zoom have a tighter range.

HI

The zoom mode is good but the tables of 6 are better since more game is linked

I play a lot of zoom poker and wonder what other thoughts are on zoom. I find I can bluff more often and but find catching others bluffing comes far and few. People tend to wait for premium hands and play them strong when they get it. 3 betting really shows how good their hands really are when villains only call then check the flop and turn. Bluffing can be used more often when others don’t push back on you when raising. BUT u do get raised here and there and have learned....they have it always! Don’t reraise.
Do find tilt is a monster which hiding behind every turned over card, waiting to jump out at you and steal your chips.

I play SNAP at 888 poker. It is similar to zoom. The only reason i play this game is because i don't have to wait for others to complete their action. I can play lot of hands in short time.
There is one more factor. Less time and less waiting also means less thinking. And to me (forgive me if you don't agree with me) less thinking is good for well being. Too much waiting and too much thinking may also lead to confusion as one thought conflict with another thought and there will be less action.
After all, life is composed of thinking and action in a balanced proportion.

I play pokerstars zoom on mobile because 1 table is enough for me and you don't have to switch among many table. Though it feels like the competition is tougher.

To me Zoom, fast fold is the future of cash game poker

I like to play zoom poker, because you can play a lot of hands in the same amount of time compared to normal tables, and you won't play some junk cards just because you are bored.
Therefore, the hand quality of zoom is also relatively high, and you should try to narrow your hand range as much as possible.
In addition, if you want to rush rakeback, zoom poker is a good choice.
