I've had mixed results with it, overall I would say people are far more aggressive and bluff a lot since you don't know who you are playing every hand. Although, people often have good hands since you can fold and renew hands until you get that perfect one. So with that being said, I personally would rather play a few tables at once then Zone. It doesn't let you play the player as easily.

It's worth it for sure. You would expect people to play only monsters seeing as you can switch to a new hand right away when you have a bad one, but it's honestly quite the opposite. There's A LOT of fishes willing to chase their draws and pay you off.

And surprisingly there's also a lot of people that raise, and then you 3 bet them they feel the need to defend and go all in with low pocket pairs or hands like Ax / K10 etc. So if you have like 10++, AK, or even AQ, you're usually gonna be ahead preflop if they push.

How new is this?
Would be impossible to get reads on anyone since any HUD would be useless and you have no idea who anyone is.
Even the anti HUD people you would think would be against this.

Optimum strat would seem to be play as extremely nitty as possible, setmine everything, dont overplay draws, etc.

In your experience, are the zone tables softer than the regular tables?

I havent plaued bovadas reguler tables in a while but imho it would probably be easy money wjth your strat theres a lot of dudes thag go all in once they make a hand post flop so be sure to raise big with your big hands and every now and then youll get a caller and make sure that you play it down tk the end besides he doesent and wont know who u are

Nitty works here for me. I find the play to still be very bad in micro stakes. Expect the same morons to chase gertting terrible odds.

I will have to say that this is a cool feature that bovada has. It is cool not to have to sit there and wait for people to make their decisions. I think that the play is good and bad at times, but if you play tight and aggressive and read what the board and how your opponents bet, I think that people can really take advantage of some of the bad players that are on this. I got sucked out and was down 40 dollars and then in an hour worth of playing i pushed back 65 dollars. Its a good format and with fishyness on the site there can be a lot of money to be made especially if you are trying get a bankroll going.

I don't play it. I like to know the players I am against. Poker is much more than just the cards you are dealt. While playing several hands is an advantage, lacking the ability to know the other players playing style and hand ranges is situations makes this structure of poker no good for me.

i am gonna be a happy camper when they come out with zone tourneys because i honestly dont really start taking notes until the final table and some of the people are acutally good and tbh thats me most of the time on bovada get in the table get out and i either lose or win that way they cant catch on to my playing style who wouldent do that?! why let them catch on to your style while you can go to a diffrent table as a completely new # LOL

Hmmm, seems like it's more "rush rake" than you can offset by winning hands. Since i'm not a number's geek, i'm guessing it would be hard to beat both the players and the set up. Especially in the long run.

well the rake isnt too bad imho if the pot is 20 cents or under then they dont charge rake and the rake is only 5%

action on zoom plus NO RAKEBACK AT LOW STAKES made it almost impossible for even a very good player to make alot.. also did not see like tons of fish on there... when i played..
