He is contibuting to this thread. That is probably why he posted that.

Why did you post this?

the top part is vinnies quote which I was commenting off of. The part where I stated I was able to multi table zone games is where my information coincides with vinnies concern with not being able to fulfill his "degenerate" (his words not mine) habit of multi tabling:beer:

I did not like it, it seemed to bring out the worst instincts in me. Overcall, try to get action with hands I would normally fold. Tilt is massive, thats the reason you see Q3 shove UTG. Sick of getting beat every hand!

Patience is a virtue, one that I have a hard time accessing when I'm playing something known as "rush" poker.

I will give it another shot, play a little tighter. Take advantage of the poor players when I have premium cards.

Just try to play well. Play good starting hands, and utilize position. Keep the bluffing to a minimum.

All you have to do is click "fold now", and you are on to a new hand. I just think about that when I am debating defending my blind with K-5s.

Solid ABC works well on zone.

Also, relating back to vinnies previous post, I have been having the problem of the Check/Fold Auto folding me before anyone bets...they should fix that but if you are BB you can just wait to see if someone bets before its your action and fold, so no biggie.

Sorry, I thought that the entire post was a quote except for the
Thanks for correcting me.

I know I could play two different limits. I did it for a little bit. But, I find that very difficult, mainly because I have to constantly be aware of what the BB is on which table. A 40c open in 10nl is a pretty standard open. A 40c open on 5nl is a large over-bet.

In a way, everything is related to bet/pot/stack sizes. But, there's a big difference between a 50c open from a $3 stack at 10nl and the same open, from the same size stack, at 5nl. It's just one more thing to check in every hand. When I am only playing one limit, I have one less thing to think about during a hand.

oh I just got a full house and the money falling was a pretty cool feature

I got the money falling when I got 2 pair. Pretty cool!

I think you get the money when you take all of someone's money

If no one bets, you will win the blinds. There will be a message in chat saying you won say .07 in hand #.......... so don't worry about clicking the Check/ Fold button

Thanks for that! I was wondering about it also...

It's based off of BB. I think if you win something like 50 BB or more you get the falling cash.

Hopefully traffic on this picks up quick, I've missed rush.

 

[TheKid84]

Any quick hint strategies for 'Rush'/'Zone' style of play?

Might give some a try tonight. Donate $10 or so to the cause just to check it out. Never played it and I suck at cash

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean, it makes it much less convenient if the limits are different. Wholeheartedly agree with you Vinnie. I was just experimenting earlier and figured I would throw it up if it was any help to you or anyone else.

Nit up.

 

[radman]

Have they announced anywhere about the process they are taking, how long until they move forward to mtt's, or if this is just a trial?

I cant wait if they bring it to mtt's used to love to play them

Thanks for posting this. I was wondering about it. I never saw that message. Either I am oblivious or someone always stole my blind.

I agree with Aleksei... Play tight, and don't try to be too fancy.

Also, people don't bluff much. Remember that when you run into a bunch of resistance.

Just my $0.02

SO, how many players are playing on Bovada's "zone" at this time...I make 1 CC member, Was wondering if we could get a quick roll call or something? Dakota said around 8 pm, we would make it happen, but I just got home from dinner out with the family, so I was curious.

I think she was talking about yesterday. I'm probably going to be playing it in a few minutes.

Jump in. It is such a good game. So easy to make so $$$ as long as I stay focused. Bad bad players on zone.

No bluffy. No chasey. Tight is right.

Yep, like a virtual money printing machine

I have been playing zone for two days now and am curious about other's experiences. It seems very shove/fold oriented. I'm playing in the .02/.05 and it seems like anytime the pot gets over .60 someone shoves.
