Zone Poker
Step Into the Zone
Zone Poker give you an instant jolt of adrenaline by playing faster hands and seeing more cards. It’s fast-paced poker action like you’ve never seen it before.
Experience Zone Poker:
• No more time spent waiting for folded hands to end and new cards to be dealt— the moment you fold your hand at a Zone Poker table, you’ll immediately be redirected to a new table with new players and cards.
• Cut down on that time between hands, allowing you to wait less, see more cards, and play more.
• When you fold your cards or the hand ends, a table sliding animation will be shown and you’ll instantly jump to the next table and hand.
Zone Poker Benefits:
• More Volume: We can’t stress enough how valuable it is to play more hands per hour – as long as you’ve got an edge over the competition. Not only will your hourly expectation go up, you’ll also smooth out your variance, protecting you from downswings and minimizing your chances of going bust.
• Shark Protection: Since you get to switch tables repeatedly in Zone Poker, you’re no longer sitting in the same position with the same opponents for multiple hands. That makes it harder for smart players to develop a read on your tendencies and exploit you.
• Simpler Strategy: While other Zone Poker players will find it harder to get a read on you, the same holds true in reverse. But this also allows you to play a standard “balanced” strategy where you don’t have to think too much about how to exploit your opponents. In fact, playing tighter than average will help further reduce the number of tough decisions you have to make, reducing mental fatigue in the process.
• Looser Competition: The player pool for Zone Poker is quite soft at the lower limits. You can take advantage of recreational players who have the need for speed, but not the tools to handle it. There are a lot of pros at the higher limits, though, so tread carefully.
• Multi-tabling: Two tables of Zone Poker might not sound like much to experienced players, but there’s more poker where that came from. Ignition also allows you to play two standard cash tables alongside those two Zone tables, giving you the most hands per hour possible.
Frequently Asked Questions
When will a Zone Poker game begin?
Zone Poker games begin once there is a full table of players. The game will begin the moment the table you’re seated at is full.
How do Ignition Miles work when playing Zone Poker?
With Zone Poker, the Ignition Miles system works the exact same way as a standard cash game. However, because Zone Poker gives you the ability to play more hands in the same amount of time, you’ll be able to score more Miles than you would in a normal cash game.
How do the blinds work when playing Zone Poker?
Since players change tables and sit with new players every hand, assigning the big blind works a little differently. The big blind is assigned based on the following order of priority:
• A player that has yet to pay the big blind (either a new player playing their first hand or a player that has played more than one hand but have not paid the big blind).
• A player that has gone the longest amount of time without paying the big blind (in terms of number of hands played).
If there is more than one player who fall under one of these categories, the big blind will be assigned randomly among those players.
When playing Zone Poker, how much time to act are players allowed?
Players are given 15 seconds to act, which is half the time of a normal cash game. Zone Poker is played much faster and allows players to see more hands, increasing the action.
Zone Poker consists of the same standard poker games you know and love, only it gives you the chance to spend more time actually playing and less time waiting on hands to end and new cards to be dealt. It’s all about speed and keeping up the pace with Zone Poker, which makes it both exhilarating and modern. Get into the zone today and see if you can take the heat.
