Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 5754339, member: 397965"] Its certainly true, that Cardschat is different from "other poker forums". "Other poker forums" are filled with a lot of big egos, and are not very welcoming to beginners. Which is why I spend some time here but not in any of those "other forums" :) Speaking of training sites and coaches one of the main beefs, I have with this industri is, that most of the people in it started playing poker a long time ago, and they dont have any recent experience with the games, their students are actually playing. Which is of course mostly the micros. So they dont know, how soft or tough these games actually are, and they also dont know, how they play. And for that reason sometimes these coaches and training sites can actually do more harm than good to people just starting out. Returning to the topic of Zoom vs. regular cash games as with so many other things, it all depends. Inspired by this thread I actually just played 200 hands at the 10NL 888 Poker SNAP table. And ok I was exaggerating. Today this game was good with maybe 15% recreational players, and I won 150BB over this small sample. However this also showed up in the form of a 22-23% players per flop in the lobby. And when was the last time in human memory, someone saw this kind of number for a PokerStars Zoom game? There were also only around 45 people playing, and neither the 50NL or 5NL table was playing anywhere near as loose, so basically I just got lucky to get in the game at a good time. But maybe these SNAP games on 888 are actually better than Zoom on PokerStars, after 888 started allowing the use of HUDs. Having only 45 players in the pool rather than 450 is just so superior, because you actually pick up a sample on the fish, and you also get to see them again, while you can still remember, what you saw them do in a previous hand.
