Hello, I would like to know the differences between normal play tables and play zoom. Currently I play 6-max cash, but it is very difficult to make a large sample of hands ... the game changes too much? I intend to continue in the 6-max tables ... HUD is required? Thank comunity!

In the zoom play more hands per hour. HUD to zoom needs.

Seems to be most zoom fields are filled with regs so be careful since 200+ hands per hour is easy to do one tabling.

hud is very important in zoom. and zoom is full of swings so you can lose big fast.

Zoom

The only difference between the two is the fact that on zoom you play only the top cards. so you can go all in easier with AA or KK , because the others have good cards too. Bad beats are also preety often on zoom. you will often see KK go against AK, AQ, and hit the A on the flop. but in order to win you must gamble.

Pairs like JJ 10 10, you can call the raise and wait for the set, simply call a raise on a flop like 825, ( he might have the strong hands AA; KK ; QQ and have u beat, or get the set before you)

Put notes for every player that you play against, in zoom. you will need them.

For the HUD depending on the site that you are playing : https://www.pokernews.com/news/2015...changes-to-third-party-tools-policy-22920.htm

Poker is a game of science, a game of guts, not a game of robots!

I answered a similar post , but what the hell , I am gonna anwer here too , hihi . normal tables = same opponents , same position , you choose the fishes you wanna play with , it's more profitable on the long run , by knowing the players more and watching better their moves you know when to strike and your bluffs/semibluffs have a increased success percent .
On zoom it's quite the contrary , the opposite , but it's very good if you have a modest bankroll and you want to have FUN playing fast rush poker or if you want to clear bonuses or collect starcoins/vppps quickly it's the best way , you can play 2nl one or 2 tables and become chromestar in some days (dependingly how you play , I needed 20 days in the past Iwas playing one or twot ables , not more than two, but Iwasn't playing 24/7/30hehehe)

HUD is very necessary since you will not be able to be observing how your opponent is playing every hand.

Some players tend to fold more hands pre flop (because we receive cards soon after), so, bluffing gets more complicated at post flop, they usually drop out less hands.

Hmm surprised this hasn't been mentioned already. You want to play zoom significantly tighter than a normal table. Let's take a hand like KJ offsuit in mid position. On a normal table, I might call with it if it's a loose passive table. On a zoom table, I'm mucking it without a second thought. I'm even folding AJ offsuit here, which is unlikely for me on a normal table. Postflop is trickier because it depends on whether you know anything about your opponent, position etc. but preflop you want to be playing much tighter.
