Not true at all. Rush/zoom poker is very easy to get reads on opponents and quite quickly. Pt3 already has an enable zoom hud option or you can do it the old fashioned way, notes and memory.

You can look back on any hand as well. You also get standards regulars as you do in any other form of poker.

There's really nothing bingo about it.

Also, an understanding of position play is essential to this format.

My 2 cents at least - good luck

You can see the remainder of the hand by holding down the Ctrl button as you click Fold!
Oops looks like Shirshot already answered this one ..

Just 2-tabled if for a bit on minimini micro. AKs and QQ lost to AA and KK respectively within 5 seconds of each other and nicely cleared out what I had put in.

Zoom for me will be a Saturday night special I think. Paydays being paydays and so are the evening nights with days off following those paydays. Preying on the situational weak seems more a winning plan than praying with the perpetual meek to put it that way.

I rather suspect there is an optimal play formula for the game type that any script kiddie could code. Not that anyone would ever code a script for online play of course.

I would be extremely interested in a zoom type game with an anty however. That would certainly liven things up.

Zoom tables with Antes - that's an interesting suggestion and the first time I've heard that brought up.

Thanks for trying it out and posting your feedback Jergul.

Adding antes would definitely liven things up!! Tournaments would be good too.
