Microstakes, zoom vs regular cash games

[rari458]

What do you prefer to play at the micro stakes and why? Have you noticed any differences between the players? Do you prefer to have a few cash games running, or a zoom table?

I'm quite new to the game, and tbh zoom is pretty exciting and whatnot, but it's very hard to make read on the players + usually the villain enters the pot with a good hand. So you can make money quickly as well as loose quickly too.

I prefer multi tabling regular cash tables. It reduces variance & you can read opponents very well.

I would not recommend playing at the micro tables because it does not mimic the game of poker really since players tend to over push with weaker as well as stronger hands but on the other hand would just recommend freerolls with a large number of people

Personally i'd perfer cash games as opposed to Zoom because you can learn alot from your opponents on one table rather than switching through multiple players.. Zoom offers faster action but doesn't really let you button down on certain players unless you are keeping track of them somehow... pretty hard to do that with Zoom tables...

I hate zoom formats, there´s no time to think and the players change every time;well I prefer classic poker .

I play only ordinary tournaments and cash games because I can concentrate in them, I do not like ZOOM game when you are thrown from the table to the table and you can not concentrate normally on the game!

Not a big zoom fan. Sometimes I may want to see how a hand plays out on a zoom table, and I cannot once my hand is folded.

Zoom sucks everyone is playing dominate hand as there is no shortage of quality hands.You can't read or get to know the opponents well....multi-table HU is where it is at.

In my opinion, zoom tables are exciting because every time the tables changes, I face someone who is a new, if you are a bit aggressive and love to bluff a lot then zoom is a better deal out. Players on normal cash games try to analyze each other more often and if you are a bit loose player, you are likely to get hunted more often then you think. I would surely prefer zoom tourneys when I am in adventurous mood......

In the past I was 4 to 6-tabling zoom/ Rush/ SPEED/ FastForward/ SNAP (depending upon the site & the max. tables they'll allow you to play on).These days it's 4 tables max. (2 if I'm doing other stuff like posting in this thread)
