PokerStars Adds Real Money Zoom Poker
03/16/2012PokerStats has added Zoom Poker. Zoom Poker is PokerStars' answer to Full Tilt Poker's Rush Poker. Zoom Poker fills the void left by Rush Poker when Full Tilt Poker closed in June 2011.
Zoom Poker allows players to fold before the action gets to them. If a player chooses to fold, they are automatically moved to a new table, even if it is not their turn to act. If a player chooses to see the flop, they stay at the table until they either fold, or the hand runs to completion. This makes Zoom Poker at least four times faster than a normal game.
The Zoom Poker games are similar to Rush Poker. One noticeable feature that Zoom Poker has, that Rush Poker did not, is that players can sit out when the big blind gets back to them, instead of having to guess by sitting out the next hand. Players can also hit the "CTRL" button when they fold so that they can stay at the table to see the rest of the hand, as opposed to moving to the next table. Tracking software currently works, but HUDS are not working at this time. Players can play up to four tables at any limit, with a total of six Zoom Poker tables combined.
PokerStars currently offers NL 2, NL 5 and NL 10 in either 6 max or full ring tables. PokerStars currently caps the NL 2 at 1500 players, and the NL 5 at 2500 players. Those caps will be lifted once Zoom Poker has been fully rolled out. Pot Limit Omaha $2 is also offered.
Try out Zoom Poker and see why PokerStars is the largest online poker room in the world.
Players that sign-up at PokerStars through RakeTracker will receive a 100% up to $600 sign-up bonus and a VIP program that will yield up to 83% in VIP rakeback.

RakeTracker | The Rakeback Pioneer.
Believe it or not, there was a time in online poker’s history that there was no such thing as rakeback. When the seeds of Rake Tracker were first planted in 2003 almost all poker rewards came in the form of bonuses. Soon players wanted more. The RakeTracker business first started small, offering rakeback to players on a one-on-one basis and through referrals.
As the business grew, RakeTracker.com was launched as one of the first full-scale rakeback providers on the internet providing players with additional perks that they could receive in addition to bonuses – payout out rakeback since 2004. Now many years later, players still flock to RakeTracker for industry leading rakeback deals, monthly poker promotions in the hundreds of thousands of dollars and top quality customer support.
What is Rakeback?
All live and online card rooms take “rake” and “tournament fees” to run and operate their games. The amount of rake or fees taken will vary by game type and stake levels, but will generally be 5% of each pot for ring games and around 10% of the buy-in for tournaments.
With rakeback, players are returned a percentage of the rake that is attributed to them, usually 27%-40%. Simply put: Receiving rakeback and other promotions help winning poker players win more and losing poker players lose less. There is no reason not to get rakeback!
Getting rakeback is easy through RakeTracker: simply create a RakeTracker account, then using our referral links download the poker site’s software, add the tracker to your account and you are ready to go! Detailed instructions are available on each site’s review page.
