What with the ability to hit nearly 1k hands per hour, obviously the variance will be amplified comapred to the timespan.
variance not at all skewed if you have decent post flop skills and board evaluation skills. IMO its easier to play tight when you get dealt a hand WHENEVER YOU want..its like a tag's dream!! its going to get tougher now that HEM2 came out with the update, but overall im playing tighter then i ever have to compensate for what im seeing people show down against me most of the time its set or better when you get a post flop all in.
another note on result oriented thinking: i find im not worried about the results in zoom, as i just have to stay so focussed on the moment , or i will lose my mind and edge in the process . when i fold, i dont have to watch my folded JTo hit a nut straight which i wouldve got paid off had i called a rediculous preflop raise amount...or see my pocket 8's that just got 3 bet hit a set on the flop that wouldve got paid by AA. i can just move on knowing i made the right decision MOST of the time which is all that matters.
preflop is pretty soft. people continuously 3 betting me or just shoving for no apparent reason when i hold AA/KK. im never folding these hands to nl2 unknowns preflop for any amount.
im still working on a decent range for zoom. but i think it will work the same as the basic BSS starting hands chart, and a little bit more so maybe like opening 14% of hands, even less from utg and even more from MP3 CO, BU, SB.
Punish the limpers as there are plenty of obvious setmining situationheavy s. ex utg limps. everyone else folds, SB raises 5x, utg1 instacalls. SB cbets on a high board or non paired board. UTG instafolds.
beware of the limpers who call your flop cbet. they might not have a pocket pair. they might limp AJ, KQ, QJ type hands...its happened to me a couple pots. most notable one is im in SB, BU limps AJo......wtf lol im holding A-8, i raise thinking hes weak...he calls. flop shows us an ace on dry board. he barrels. i call. he barrels turn. i call. J hit river, he barrels river, i call....lose half a stack lol..
other then that im finding it just the same as regular tables, just faster and more fish making stupid stupid mistakes with tptk and tpgk situations, as well as paying WAY too much for their draws.....
this is zoom everyone...stare at it in awe.
swoon at its wonderous glory that is fishie fishie fishie....
im actually scared the fish might lose their money before i can get to them! but theen i remembered...NL2 has millions of jokerstars fishies!! yay for populating!!
gonna skype with my mom and then its off to the tables for a heavy HEAVY 3K hand session when the boy goes to bed and the girlies at work all night!!
