Fast poker as the new tendency in industry

[mugge47]

I don't think poker should be played fast because the less hands you see the more you rely on luck to win. I wanna play in tourneys that last hourss

Do not like zoom poker. I would love a clock on casino poker games. one minute is enough for any hand.

I played an hour of Zoom on PS tonight for an hour. I was playing to stay even, just wanted to rack up some loyalty points before the end of the month and get to silver star. I was doing fine until some dingus got a flop 2 to match his hole pair! Who the hell sees my all in on a pair of 2s? Regardless, it's a format that takes getting used to and has its advantages.

I can see the motivation for poker sites moving towards these fast types of poker, more games played per hour means more rake. I don't agree that these games are strictly Bingo games where no skill is involved. The same strategies still apply, you just have to think faster and not sit and wait for the premium hands to come.

I agree that classical poker will never die. But fast poker has its own advantages. There is no need to wait for 10 minutes to fold hands, you can participate in more tables and stakes. It is a good variant for people who always in a hurry.
