I used to play MTTs and recently I started working towards beating NL10 ZOOM (6max). Today I wanted to try something different so I opened up about 8 to 10 tables of regular NL10 and I had some strange impressions.

My red line started climbing up (whereas it is slightly negative on ZOOM), and overall things seemed easier. Players seemed to take stabs more often with weaker hands, and refuse to fold their strong hands more so than on ZOOM.

Is this just a coincidence, or is this everybody's experience? Is the advantage of playing ZOOM simply to play more hands/hour + easier to fire up and get going? What do you play and why?
