On the opposite end, if you get a read that people are playing too loose, then you can exploit them by value-betting harder and thinner than you would normally. On a zoom table, you can fire these bluffs off all day, until tens of thousands of hands later when your opponents may start to suspect something is off. They’d start exploiting you by calling more, and folding hands that can’t stand up to 3 barrels. On a standard table, you couldn’t constantly make bluffs in this spot because your opponents would catch on.
What’s even better, you have a general read that most opponents in your zoom pool are folding way too much to river shoves. A river card hits that makes your opponent’s perceived range weak. Imagine yourself in a river situation with 1 PSB behind. Particularly early in your Zoom Poker career, you don’t need to think as much about balancing your ranges.

Some forms of Zoom Poker are even anonymous, barring any reads altogether. You don’t play against the same opponents each hand. You have smaller samples, and so less reads. In a nutshell, Zoom Poker forces you to play on less information than other forms of poker. In the first edition of this Zoom Poker strategy series, I’m going to explain the information gap of zoom poker.
