    Default Bovada has "zone poker"

    just saw they updated and now offer "zone poker" which is same as zoom on stars. Fulltilt had it too but im having a brain fart on what the name of it was there. my question is what the hell kind of strategy can we use on something like this with it being a "nameless" site? if you don't know bovada doesn't allow player names anymore and you play with opponents who have just numbers. (6max is 1-6, FR is 1-9, MTT is 1-max players) any thoughts? just be a nit? or take advantage in position and play some pots?

    Im opedipus bitch, the original balla.
    It was called Rush on FTP.

    And you can just take advantage of the mistakes that you believe the majority of the player pool would make. I mean if 90% of the players you face will call down too light in a certain spot, it makes sense to play correctly versus what the majority would do, rather than play differently on the off chance you are against the minority.

    Rush! that's it. I remember the days 4 tabling rush was awesome way to get volume. you have a valid point I will check it out, I took a break from poker for awhile and now im ready to start again. For us players bovada seems to be the place. fast cashouts and good games. PLO games are great there. tons of fish and action up to about $400 PLO then the fish come far and few between.

    Given the complete unreadability of the villains on Zone, I can't imagine there's a gold mine there.

    not necessarily, as each player is numbered as they join. example; you see there are 56 players in the player pool when you join you will be player number 57. so even though long term they are unreadable, in each session you will have some knowledge of given players.
