A Review of PokerStars' Zoom Poker | PokerNews

Been on beta for awhile - should be even better than rush poker with some added features that Rush didn't have.

Zoom is indeed in Beta form on our Test client, with plans to unveil it for real money play in the near future. Once it's out I'd be happy to hear your thoughts on it, we're pretty excited to see it in action.

noticed on the update today zoooom poker beta was on it....tried to go in to check it out, but said it was full

Simplistic question here, is zoom poker going to reduce or negate the use of a HUD?

haven't tried it yet since i didn't touch poker yesterday. maybe today if i get a chance i'll jump on it and give it a go. i'm assuming it's just cash games for now.

So far it seems great, posted profits each time I played zoom today. A few things I like about it so far is... no downtime, you don't have players verbally bashing you when take their money!!and you don't have to worry about teams. The best part about it right now is a lot of stars plrs are experiencing this format for the first time, so they're making mad mistakes. Not like rush where it was mostly cooler after cooler. stars will get to this point, but for now it seems like a cash grab.

Tin foil hat time.
Holy crap did I get raped at the zoom tables which I had been asking for for a while (the tables, not the raping...)....
I'll just stick with aces but this type of stuff was happening with all hand types,
over 1000 hands I had AA 14 times. this alone is very odd.
1 time in the blinds, everyone folds. yay, I win,
1 time mid position, 3x raise, all fold I win,
2x, all in Pre, I win Yay,
4 times, loose to a set by the river
1 time, fold on the river to a four flush on the board, lost 1/2 a buy in
1 time all in pre, 99?!? gets there with a straight flush? I kid you not. in isolation this would be nothing,
4 times, 4 times in 1000 hands I lose to quads!
so, no more zoom for me. little bankroll can't handle it. it could before I got into it.....
got a lot of VPP's :)

okay, i finally sat down and played some zoom. definitely fast. definitely fun. i lost track of time but i got in about 350 hands of $0.02-$0.05 in probably around an hour.
software: seems to run well. nice and crisp. possibly even smoother than rush was.
players: crazy, crazy soft (for example, i actually had one player fold when he was acting first on the flop heads up - guess he needed to zoom off somewhere - har). i am by no means a great cash game player (actually i'm definitely a subpar one) and i easily ran my one buy-in up to four. granted, i did play some rush when it was around and i'm assuming that many on stars are still learning zoom in a sense.
i will definitely play again and see what i can make of it. so far i'm optimistic.

just found out zoom hands can't be manually imported on poker tracker. at least i can't get it to work. sucks.

Had that issue last night, go to you pokerstars hand history folder and import them from there. If you have been to this location before, each date should have there own folder. Upload using the directory option and select the folders one by one. Make sure you have the latest update

Appreciating the Zoom feedback guys, keep it coming. As this is new, the Zoom team is very interested in hearing player impressions.

Very choppy when the tables are full, Buttons show up before cards. VIP status stars bounce around from player to player. I had a pstars pro icon the other night lol sometimes a player has supernova stars and is actually a bronze star! You need to add filters...you need to add overflow tables for when the main game is full. And most of all a big promotion to attract some of your tourney players.

I saw the screenshot you posted earlier - I wasn't sure if we had added someone new to our Team Pro roster or not ;).
Thanks for the feedback and suggestions, I'll be passing them along to the appropriate people for them to be considered and hopefully we can get these kinks worked out.
