zoom is definitely tougher for sure, the fish to reg ratio is worse than the usual 1:5, and zoom fishes also make fewer preflop leaks by default (because of the fast fold option).I'm going to assume you are a young guy in your early 20s based on your join-date. as an old man in the space (i define it as >30 years old), just use zoom to practise, go find yourself some juicy live games. Don't make the same mistakes I did, trying to make a living from online poker.
You can easily 3-4x your winrate aiming to play 10/20 USD or higher in a live setting rather than grinding it out. Of course it's comfortable playing at home but i would like to think that most people are in poker for the short-term only.
If you wanna play online, go play some other smaller apps. Play regular games, don't chase stupid VIP rakeback deals. Don't play Zoom formats if you are playing for money. Zoom is really fun and comfortable to play but is by far the worst format for profit.
huh. wished I read this years ago. could've saved all those times banging my head on the wall.
