nah...i just recently quit it (NL25/50/100). Its all relatively tough related to regular tables....Its nice for small session, but i now have to say that regular tables are way softer...Zoom is pretty tight (just take a look at the players/flop% in the lobby) and there is pretty decent regs around....i prefersplashin fishes on my tables....and i guess even if you´re a laggy player you´re better of playin regular tables
Im just hitting a 100k breakeven at 25nl zoom :(. I am killing it at the normal tables but I just cant put in the volume, 400hands/hr is not enough. I guess it might be worth 8 tabling 6max instead....!
ye got 9 table it :)
I would say Zoom favors a more theory based approach, and is good if yo want to make high volume.
And regular favors a readbased approach more and you can get higher winrates on regular because of this imo.
Yeah its so easy to make a lot of notes when you are playing regular 6max and it makes for more interesting spots. BUT VOLUME takes ages!
It is, and indeed you can take advantage of the dynamics at the tables, and put your reads in practice right away!
TBH im crushing zoom but i just wondered if the grass was greener on the other side.
Ive found zoom to be very rewarding when you are running good. AND HORRIBLE doomswitch when you are running bad. Ever find you are constantly being played back at in every possible spot?
There is not really any reason to find zoom softer than regular tables. At micro-small stakes you can table select hard to find tables that should be far more profitable than the zoom player pool, and then you can form reads on the weaker players much better as well. You may also find that some loose passive fish play slightly tighter at zoom as well and so aren't losing as much /100 hands.
The main positive points about zoom imo are that you don't have to deal with table selecting which can be distracting and it is easier to get more hands/hr. Personally I recently quit zoom where I was a solid winner and have started stacking up to 18 regular tables instead. My winrate has increased significantly while I am getting the same number of hands/hr. The main problem is that I mostly miss players' timing/hands showndown but when I feel these are important to see I can move that table out of the stack. Overall I think regular tables should yield a higher hourly if you approach them in the right way.
I agree with m3taphysics, villains seem to play back at you a ton more than on the regular speed tables. Is it possible the fish figure out very quickly that they lose faster on zoom tables so they prefer to stick to reg tables? My win rate is higher at normal speed tables than at zoom.
m3taphysics - It`s just because you play so much more hands, a lot faster.But also let`s not kid ourselves, they do create those Boom boards to get bigger rake.
I think you are on to something here :P
