help Zoom Poker FAQ
What is Zoom Poker and how does it work?
Zoom Poker is a fast-fold online cash game format introduced by PokerStars in 2011. When a player folds their hand, they are immediately reseated at a new table with new opponents and instantly dealt a fresh hand, eliminating all wait time.
Who invented the fast-fold poker format used by Zoom Poker?
The fast-fold poker concept was originally pioneered by Full Tilt Poker with their 'Rush Poker' product in 2010. PokerStars quickly followed suit, launching their proprietary version, Zoom Poker, in 2011 to remain competitive in the online poker market.
How do blinds work in Zoom Poker?
In Zoom Poker, rather than passing a dealer button around a single table, players simply pay the big or small blind on a rotating basis when they enter the general player pool. If you are dealt into a blind position and immediately fold, you are still moved to a new table to receive a new hand.
Can you play tournaments in Zoom Poker?
While Zoom Poker was originally designed for cash games, PokerStars occasionally utilizes the fast-fold format for specific tournament series. This allows players to breeze through hands quickly to reach the money or build their stack during targeted online events.
