Message: [QUOTE="Aballinamion, post: 6801239, member: 289533"] As other have said, I tried to beat Zoom Tables several times but all in vain. I believe there’s a very specific strategy and game plan to be profitable at these games and I don’t own it. Recording my most amazing losses, one attempt I lost 25 buy-ins of NLHE 2 Zoom. Second attempt I lost 18 buy-ins and the last attempt I tried a few weeks ago and ended up losing 22 buy-ins. I recommend you to play regular tables and specially Full Ring, because most of recreational players are there nowadays. One more thing: forget about graphs immediately! Remember that poker is a game that we cannot allow ourselves to be results oriented and for a small sample of hands (less than one million hands) graphs can lie and lead you to commit several mistakes. All in all I would recommend not to use any poker tracker until you have played at least 500 K hands or if you aren’t moving up from the stake you are currently playing to a higher and harder stake. However, there are very good players that can crush Zoom easily, they have the mindset and a proper tactical approach, but I’m not one of those and many players should never risk playing Zoom, because no matter how much applied and good you are, Zoom let us the feeling that opponents are only going with the nuts, and the frustration can be overwhelming. I’m not sure but I think that to play Zoom we must have at least 200 buy-ins because we can easily lose 10, 20, 30 buy-ins in one single session. And consider that the blinds run fast and we are naturally forced to play more hands: one single hour playing Zoom that we aren’t crushing, we are losing 100-150 BB, if we don’t make any major mistake. Zoom is a game that either we crush it or we are crushed by it. I’m crushed by it and I gave up wasting my time in a game format that only leads to disappointment, dissatisfaction and frustration. I’m not a regular poker player, but I’m not a dumb as well. So when I find myself hitting my head against the wall (playing Zoom and never winning), I simply assume that I don’t have what’s necessary to be a winning player. I do very much better profit plus I have lots of fun playing Full Ring tables. So, what’s the point to continue playing Zoom, just to show my ego that I cannot accept losing? [/QUOTE]
