Just want to congratulate you on your achievement. There is very little or no difference, in my opinion, between NL2 and
NL5 and NL10.
The main thing is make sure you have a big enough bankroll before you advance and don't be afraid to move down again
if you have a downswing, which you will.

Well done, that's very impressive. What was your strategy play super tight and then bet big with a big hand? 8 zoom tables must be difficult to keep up with

I wash playing 10 hours a day every day 8 tables at Zoom (PokerStars) and Snap (888) and I made over 1500$ at NL2 my question now is how to beat NL5 and NL10 recommend learning resources that I will master them!!!
Congratz, it seems, hard work was done, for next limit, i think, you can do the same, but reduce amount of tables before you feel comfortable.

These are impressive numbers!! If you beat NL2 that easily, you probably can beat NL5 too.
You can start taking some shots at the higher limit, mixing the tables, for example, you can play 4 tables of NL2 and 2 to 4 tables of NL5.
Try not to take this as a difficult process, because these two limits are supposed to be quite similar.
But I only recommend moving up to NL10 when you feel comfortable at NL5.
Keep going!

Very weird that such an NL2 Endboss asks for Tips to Beat NL5/10. 800 buyins-up playing like a robot over many hours day and night....nah really my bs-detector tells me this brand new bronze account is full of bs.

Graphs or other evidence or it did not happen.

Why you always have to appear in a thread and bring everyone back to earth? 😄

I've seen your previous message here and some doubts were instilled in me, but I still wanted to believe it's real 🤔 But you had to come back 🤣🤣

You can only 4-table max. on Stars per buyin level in ZOOM. And you can only 3-table on 888 SNAP tables. Aside from the rest of the post reeking of nonsense, you haven't even researched the number of tables one can play to make it even remotely believable.

Is this limitation true for zoom tables as well? I know it was implemented on regular tables, as a reason to avoid bumhunting and other things theocratically, but what would be the point of limiting zoom tables? If one can play 8 tables of this fast-paced madness - why prohibit it?

Because honestly, 4 or 5 tables is pretty much the max. that any normal human could play without occasionally timing out &/or slowing the game down for the rest of the player pool.
It's 4-table max. on most of the sites (GG, Stars), 888 is 3-max, partypoker was 4-max (and was advertised as such) but there was a way to get around this and have 5 running (if you did a quick 'double click' when you opened the 4th table, you could get a 5th to open as well... ask me how I know, lol).
I'm not sure how many it is now on Partypoker but the player pool isn't really large enough to have you wanting to play 4 or more tables on there (you'll be sitting waiting for your table(s) to fill up)

Yes exactly this. Just imagine if a total of 40 people are playing, and the same player has 6 or 8 entries. Then they would need to wait for tables to form, which they were not already on, and other players would see them in every single hand, which is not the idea of the format. So of course there has to be a limitation.

It makes it easy to discern who the regs. are.

In theory the reason would be the same as the cap on regular cash tables. To make it more difficult to play poker for profit and hopefully make the games softer. The german government has enforced a 4 table cap for all sort of games and across sites, and presumably this is because, they prefer people to spend time on other things than playing poker professionally.

However most poker sites have apparently decided, that they dont mind mass multitablers in other games than regular cash games. When it comes to Zoom, maybe this makes sense, because most beginners will prefer regular tables. And then the regulars can basically rake each other to death in the Zoom games.

Played many hours of Zoom at the micros when it first started. I ended with a negative win-rate. Built some good banks but kept going bust and finally gave up.
Consistently being sucked out on, by players who refuse to fold at that level, can be quite depressing.

It is for sure difficult to see, why he need advice on how to beat 5NL and 10NL, if he has been able to win an amazing $1.500 or 750 BIs at 2NL in just one month. In fact he is the one, who should be giving advice to all us mortals, who can only dream about such results ;)

How many hands of ZOOM style poker have you played? On which sites? What... a few thousand hands on 1 site?
Because your statements are not true. Just assumptions.


Obviously you'd be surprised to discover that there's loads of fish/beginners/noobs who choose to play ZOOM format. (and the assumption that it's a nitfest... also very far from the truth).

Dont know the exact number, but maybe around 100k or so. Most on PokerStars but also a decent number on 888 Poker and a few on ACR.

Most hands were in my old (now crashed) PT4 database from PokerStars. And running filters in that database there were some fairly large differences, like the situation "raising over a limp" happening far more often at regular tables than at similar style Zoom tables. Zoom tables at least on Stars also have notoriously low players per flop numbers. So yes they are generally a nit-fest, and regular tables are softer. At least if you do a bit of table selection, which of course you should. There is no reason to sit on a 6-max table and battle it out with 5 other regs.
