How 5 max tables will afect the regs win rate?
are any diference between zoom pool and reg tables about that fact? I mean zoom will have same pool, how it afects here been 5 max? and how it afects in a reg table where there is 1 fish? here the other 4 players will have more bb/100 from him than in a 6 max, it is true? that fact make 5 max better?
I can not understand which format is better, because I do not know which are all the consequences that there is no EP

Well the bank win-rates go prob up as players need to play more aggressive (and thus involved in more pots) and being able to defend your blinds well will be needed more.

No EP means more action as starting hands should open up a bit now there is no EP.

what you mean with bank winrates? questioning for player win rates, i can´t understand good the facts that there is no EP, bc will win less bb for play more % of the time in the blinds, (true?), but will take the fish money between less people, so it is good or bad? and how it afects on zoom where are the same pool of players (so fish% is the same) but playing more hands in the blinds?

I think it affect in this way:
zoom tables - more rake because of looser game. Will have more full reg tables than before ( less chance to sit with weak player because less seats lol). For regs worse, for weak players too because they will lose faster.

standard tables - harder to get into table with weak player, but win rate should be higher. For regs - doesn't matter that much, bit more problems to open/close tables (gonna break faster). For weak players - lose their money faster than 6max( more action, more decisions and so on)

Jeff_ I disagree for zoom but aggree for reg table. Zoom plays really tight to begin with and it's a much needed change if you ask me. I'd like to see them add antes to zoom as well to make it even looser and more fun.

At reg tables the fish plays way too loose and adding an extra tight position would lead to more costly mistakes by fish. Going from 5max to 6max would probably make fish preflop less punished for wide calls.

Zoom plays tight for a reason - rake. That's why big sizings in preflop game, 3betting and 4betting dynamic.
For sure it is gonna be more fun, but I think it is not good change for zoom. (Even though no big deal - 200z and 500z running often 4-5 handed)
