I dont know... if it is only my opinion or unluck... but i can't believe how often runs your KK into aces or AA into kings of another player... i've played today like 2k games and of those i ran to aces two times and guy with his kings into my aces once... I think that chance of that cold deck is much more smaller than how often it happens ... what's your experiences with that situation ???

I hear this all the time. The reason why it feels like it happens more times than it should is because when kk runs into aa the money usually goes in pre-flop and the cards are turned over. When players are normally dealt aa or kk the hand often won't go to showdown.

yeah ive played zoom and rush and ran into aa vs kk plenty of times think its because you get more hands than normal games so a bigger chance of getting top pair, but its a hand that you can never get away from

Of course it's going to happen more at zoom. You play more hands than any other game and people play tighter ranges.

And no, it's not happening any more times than any other poker game.

I tried zoom once. Luckily for small amount of money. I'm never going to play it again. Enough said!

Well said, its full of regulars, and at the end of the day your profits depend on how many sets you connected

Which is the same amount for any Tom, dick and Harry in the long run.

I don't like zoom either because it makes noticing reads near impossible as you are essentially playing ghosts. Poker is all about exploitation ya know?

I suppose 2nl zoom can be played profitably with a strictly mechanical predetermined strategy without ever adjusting. It'll be like opening a mini casino where you are the dealer. In fact I heard bots exist for auto playing 2nl for fair profit.
