i prefer the traditional style. i think in zoom games you miss out on compleetely on your chance to exploit players by getting a read on them. yoou litterally have no idea what kind of players you are up against at a zoom table and are stuck at playing a purely mathematical game

I'd have to strongly disagree with the underlined portion of your statement. If it were true, why would professional players suggest that the 500nl ZooM tables are the toughest tables of all to beat online? I was viewing the guy who runs the BBZ stables on Twitch the other day, a guy who plays the HiRoller tourneys online lately (has over 170,000 games played just on Stars) and during chat he mentioned he can beat $1/$2 zoom but the $2/$5 games are extremely tough.
I wasn't that surprised to hear it. 5nl & 10nl Zoom 6max regs. are much tougher to play vs. than regular tables (from my experience).
As far as it being 'readless' poker. This also is simply not true. Try 4-tabling for 1 hour. You'll have put in over 1,000 hands in that time period and you will quickly recognize the regs., fish, etc. Now multiply that by 10... or 100... or ??
Trust me. The regs. on those tables know exactly who the other regs. are.

I will play Zoom from time to time, but most of the time, I play traditional poker. I like the quickness of the game and it also keeps it fresh since others can learn my style. That is also the problem with it as well.

Think of microstakes as cheap skill training rather than a serious financial investment. If you can learn to beat it, you'll crush softer tables including live.
If nitty games bore you try zoom, the constant action keeps me interested. Keep in mind that playing too nitty is an exploitable mistake.

I am one of those who hates zoom lol. Seriously, it is one of the most complicated modalities; If you are good at it, keep playing. You just have to identify the game in which we have the most profits and dedicate ourselves to playing. GL

I personally dislike the Zoom format but it is good for player's who do not want to strike up a conversation with some other players at the table, because once you fold the table changes.
My last Zoom tournament was a free-roll and I did manage to hit the payouts but would not like to play them on a regular basis.

Zoom tournaments are very similar in strategy to cash games, only the opponents are changing with a new distribution. Although I was happy to win prizes in zoom tournaments, I never reached the final. The usual unlimited hold'em is more like a zoom game.

I played zoom once and I liked it. Zoom you get so many different opponents. So many types of players, I like zoom cause it is fast action. But playing in regular tournaments you kinda can feel out your opponents. Better playing regular tournaments.

I enjoy playing zoom games. It saves a lot of time! And the action is constantly happening!
But I play at rather low limits on PS - NL2, NL5.
There they have introduced an innovation related to antes and playing zoom tables has become MUCH more aggressive. I hope I can get used to the new format or have to return to the usual games for money.
