Zoom Poker
Zoom Poker is PokerStars’ fast-fold cash-game format. When you fold, you are immediately moved to a new table and dealt another hand against different opponents, greatly increasing the number of hands played per hour.
Example
Instead of waiting for the rest of a folded hand to finish, Zoom sends you straight into another hand from the player pool.
