Message: [QUOTE="JCSmith, post: 6600534, member: 130669"] I play zoom almost exclusively when I'm playing cash games. It can be profitable. But it's almost a different game. People tend to fold more often and 3bet or 4bet bluff far more often. A HUD that works with zoom is essential imo. Because what you wind up with is a mix of rocks who are set mining or waiting on a big hand, and loose aggressives who are playing far more aggressive than they would in a normal game because casual players won't have a long history with them to realize what they are doing... Once you've been playing on a level for a while, I find exploitative play is the best. Find the guys who are raising far too often and then folding to 4bets and take advantage of them. Steal/fold more often. Players can see another hand so quickly that they will often give up on hands at the first sign of resistance. Your win rates might not be as high on zoom, but you can get in a ton of hands to make up for it. [/QUOTE]
