Y NO ZOOM?!?

Was thinking the same thing actually. Gonna mail Stars and ask

answer is prly that they can't calculate the vpps produced in zoom table during last 50hands the same way as in normal tabs.

I'd assume because it doesn't have a fixed table number, to be honest.

It has the Instance Number(Limit+format+handedness), but no tables that're fixed entities.

Dagmar #7 is named such because it's the 7th table for Zoom NLHE 25SH i opened this session, but it's still not a tablename.

Will mail them tomorrow, just back home and time for bed ♦

imo they don't want normal tables to die, otherwise during the promo everyone would play zoom

Mail sent btw... be back soon

Cue the drumroll.......

Hello Gary,

Thank you for your interest in our 80 Billionth Milestone Hand.

We can confirm that hands played in Zoom will count for the
overall hand counter towards our Road to 100 Billion hands. That
being said, milestone hands themselves will not be dealt unto a
Zoom table.

This is due to technical reasons. First of all, the Zoom tables
are "private" and therefore, cannot be viewed. Part of the fun of
milestone hands is that they are an entertaining spectator event.
In addition, the experience of playing a Zoom hand is not
conducive to the hosting of a milestone hand. For example,
when/if you fold, you are instantly taken to another table, and
that means you miss the conclusion of the hand and subsequent
announcement of the prizes.

From an integrity point of view, we would prefer it if players
do not engage in the fast-folding strategy. It is a legitimate
way to play, but it minimises the prizes and detracts from the
promotion for players that are not engaging in that behaviour. In
Zoom, it would be much easier to fast fold, so it is not an
optimal game to offer this promotion in.

...........

So there you have it
