Yeah i play zooms games but on other networks and it is known as speed poker on ipoker network, i used to play zoom on pokerstars but tilted my bankroll away and when i rebuild i use other sites due to bonuses as i have already use up the bonuses on pokerstars so other site for me. Good luck with zoom/speed/rush games as they are hard and if you have big leaks you can lose lot of money or if you play a lot and get tilted like me you can be on the road to losing your entire bankroll. Cheers good luck mate!

Well I played on NL2 zoom and the field is quite fishy however I played some NL5 speed on ipoker and seems that's full of regs and shorts but beatable at least. I'll play it as my main game when I have a proper bankroll to avoid being broke and damage my BR bacause of tilt. Gl on the tables

i find zoom/rush/fast/bang/fcuk poker way too stressful for me- you are always in the thick of action and you always must be making decisions which can cost you if you make even a single mistake. one of the most important tip (besides the obvious understanding of basic strategy) is to be making constant mini breaks- say one 5 min break in 15 min or sth similar

That is actually a good idea. Will start doing those breaks. I think zoom isn't too stressfull for me, I handle it quite well; besides, I have a small monitor so it's the best way of grinding a large amount of volume without having to use a magnifying glass to see my hole cards

No kidding.. I admit i have few times just went all-in the very first hand, but i usually try and play serious Luckily "the very weird style" allows you to cash almost every time.
