Here is what this person asked:
Any tips for playing zoom tournaments on PokerStars?
I have more difficulty playing these types of tones (I think he means 'tournies', than the traditional ones in "fixed table".

They had to be more difficult when it comes to "fixed table"

Zoom is a cash game format.

You are perhaps referring to hyper-turbo blinds form of tournaments.

To play zoom well, you must only play STRONG starting-hands and never bluff.

This is the learning section where people come to get good advice.
How can your peanut of a brain be any help to them?

You say at zoom you have to only play Strong hands & never bluff.. Then prove it.
I challenge you.

LOL... This is absolutely what you do in zoom, you have no reason to ever play a mediocre hand or to bluff... Your ONLY knowledge that is reliable is the card strength and your outs, playstyles are barely known since you never seen people's post-flop tendencies 90% of the hands you are with them.

what's your definition of "strong" hands?
Many profitable players play zoom as they would do in normal games. They stick to their ranges. Unlike you who opens Q7 off utg.

Your understanding of "bluffing" in general is quite wrong.
And in truth there's a lot of bluffing going at zoom poker. But not with q7off utg.

Again I challenge you. Do not slither away. Prove it with real statistics & results.
That you must only play "strong" hands by your definition & must "NEVER" bluff

On the contrary I can prove that one doesn't have to play just the "strong" hands & you can bluff in certain situations with the hands I play.

The fact that bluffing is commonplace in zoom is the very reason why you should play the honest game.

I am not a zoom game grinder for now thank you very much for your input, I will remember to throw it in the bin on my way out.

That is not a fact. Just some idea which came to your mind just now.

If you aren't a zoom player, why are you giving advice to others about zoom poker where you have absolutely no experience of?
Please stop misleading others, specially beginners.
And stick to your play money "grinding"

I've been spectating some high stakes zoom games. The meta of zoom tables are just to play strong hands. That means playing 10% of hands. And for it to be profitable, people usually raise a lot.

In the ends, it looks like rolling dice when high cards come. If someone did bet high, it's almost certain they got a good hand.

I might be wrong, though. Something smells fishy on my thoughts.

I would suggest you to try to make fast decisions to have a chance to play more hands. I play them more aggressively than normal tournaments because players usually play tighter in zoom tournaments.
