EDIT - Oh, and does anyone know of any HEM update that tracks Zoom hands and gets the HUD working? HEM1 for me.

I imagine they'll be working their asses of atm getting it ready, Im sure its their first priority atm. How long did it take for rush, anyone remember?

Ah thought it might have been released already and i've missed it, guess not! No idea how long it took with Rush but surely the principle's the same so I imagine/hope it won't be too long.

Why am I not getting any update for my client .eu?

Don't think its out on .eu yet. Its out on .com for now.

Stars has started the year with a couple of briliant ideas.

1. Rake.
2. Change rake structure so it's less transparent.
3. Make .EU client for nordic countries but let's screw around with some ex-comunist countries like Romania.
4. Announce Zoom and continously delay it.
5. Release Zoom with nano-stakes only like it's a great innovation on Stars' part.
6. Don't release it for .EE, .BE, .EU, etc. although the players are told they are not segregated.

Explain nr. 3 please.

The main purpose of Malta License and .EU domain is so that it attracts Swedish and Finnish players since they no longer have to pay taxes on winnings if they site is regulated within the EU.

They added a couple of countries like Romania and Slovenia if I remember correctly without any real purpose at all. There are no regulatory bodies in Romania although some regulations exist which means nobody is enforcing anything which means it's actually unregulated which means adding Romania to .EU is pretty much useless.

Well maybe, but I think that operating under an EU license is always going to be a requirement from a legislative point of view, so they get a bit more cover here in any country. I personally think it's better to be part of .eu from now on since if our authorities ever apply anything they can do lots of crazy stuff.

Since our legislation requires this I don't think it's a bad thing to be playing on .eu. Except the annoying interface that they made up on .ro of their site which is actually like

There is one simple reason Zoom poker has not been introduced to all the . EU etc. sites. Cause it's not a finished product. Be patient or go play the Beta at .com!

Really excited about Zoom, gotta watch some Rush vids now

NL10 just being added, yeeeee

So much fail here...

It is really gonna be easy getting silver ranking on ps now. Might even get it by next friday.

How many hands have people here played, i have played around 3500 hands, some big variance at the end of the session loosing a 423BB pot then winning a 300BB pot just a few hands later.

I'm not getting it in with AK or QQ preflop with more than 100bb, till pt4 will figure hud out for it, unless i have nuts. Manage to win 3BI on nl2, with some straight forward game without any reads.

If anyone finds anything about the HEM update for Zoom post here plz!

PT4 just released a new beta, go download it. I played with the HUD and it was working well, but only played like 100 hands, so not many people showed up that had some stats. It might not be enabled by default, at least it wasn't for me, so just go to "Play poker" tab, then open Pokerstars configure and check "Enable Zoom HUD"

Defiantly gonna make 2/5c easier

Zoom is a lot of fun, and 1 hand kinda messed up the day, but i'm happy. Enjoyed playing for 6 hours straight! Longest session in a long time!

Noob question, but should hm2 be tracking zoom hands as normal? And HUD working as normal?
Or does it need to be set up?
