I love the nonstop action of zoom games. Where when you fold you go to the next table. I hate waiting for players. The action never ends. The most action is on pokerstars. What do you think.? Anyone hate playing zoom games??[emoji812]️

I prefer the classic format. In Zoom Poker, opponents are constantly changing and you can not be distracted by extraneous activities.

I like to play zoom poker, there’s a problem in one thing that it’s hard to read the players, everyone’s waiting for AA, KK:icon_king

I don't like Zoom, because it's really hard to read the opponents. And reading in poker is one of my favourite actvities.

I really like to play the zoom tournaments, at least I do not expect the action of other players and the game is faster

I wouldn't go as far as saying I "hate" the ZOOM format; I just really don't like it personally.

I don't play cash games, but I can appreciate how it can become very lucrative/attractive for certain players with the higher volume of hands etc. This thinking led me to believe it is a format dominated by regulars and the occasional fun type whom never comes back after their roll disappears like a fart in the wind... Seems like burning money for a casual fun type like myself ---

The ZOOM mtts are just roided out hyper-turbos. Very hard to win that is. A silly timebank situation and extremely polarised play throughout the tournament: they either have the nuts or bluffbluffbluff. Makes sense, alot of ppl just sit and wait for premium hands and late positions are always on the attack - so a deep run can be crumbled in an instant.

I avoid them, if you're problem is waiting on players just open more tables :p

I prefer regular tables, much higher winrate than zoom. As a rule, the zoom is near zero if you are not a genius)
Although if you want action, then why not :)

I played it a long time and the most I have learned I should not play it. :D
I am still learning the game and in my opinion for beginners Zoom is not a good decision.
There are important thing like reading you cannot learn/use in zoom.
But in the end for some action I like the format, especially the tournament KO Zoom combination. Gimme all! :D
... and burn my bankroll down ;)

I think zoom is a plus for those players who don't want to wait but I think that when playing zoom and there are some players can play only very good cards and discard the rest and when they were playing that very often you get a couple of aces or kings. That's why I play cash games there and get used to the players and if you want faster you can open two tables.

I prefer to play tables not zoom.Car generally everyone plays very tight on this style of play.in addition we do not take advantage of the mistakes of your opponents because we change tables with each hand.

Hi poker fans,

I remember playing Zoom cash games and it is painfully fun. Most players wait for premium hands so the game is a minefield. One has to be careful of ridiculous shoves as many will play pocket pairs and AK, AQ hands.

I have not tried the zoom tournaments but find the idea equally as interesting. One gets to play more hands since after a fold you are swept away to another table. Zoom makes poker more action packed and removes all the time spent waiting. Although one has to deal with the downside of not getting a chance to read your players over a few hands but nothing a note cannot fix.

Zoom is good fun and once I am in the mood, it's all systems go!

I really like the format that zooms, but it has its bad things. For example, the variance. It shows a lot as players go changing tables and are rotating their strategy. What makes them unrecognizable. When you are at a table with the same players, and it is the classic cash game, in the course of the plays, you get to know them, and that is an advantage.

I do not like to play in the zoom tables. It's like a tape measure. Everybody is looking for good hands. Opponents do not read. (

In poker you have always to get your attention ON! You cant concentrate in zoom games. If you dont like when bad beats come in nomal poker, in zoom you cry for sure! dont risk you bankrool in Zoom games. Take it only for fun.

I definitely prefer zoom over non zoom, specifically because I am that person who never really tanks on decisions so the format is something that suits my playstyle.

I'm not the adherent of the zoom game because you do not know the opponents' style of play and I noticed that many are all-in with any cards, it seems to me a chaotic game with many bluffs.
