Using the fact that they have thousands of players at their tables constantly, they invented a new form of poker, called Zoom (on Pokerstars) or Rush (on GGpoker). Online poker platforms like Pokerstars and GGpoker knew this and found a solution.

This lowers your hands per hour average and makes the game not only boring but also much less profitable for grinders who are trying to earn as much as possible while also meeting their requirements for rakeback or other rewards from the platform. Games are sometimes slow, there are nights with very little action and you may be unlucky enough to join a cash table where all the players use their entire timebanks every time they are faced with a decision. While in the live version of the game, the experience is more entertaining since you get to interact with other people and you also get the added entertainment of trying to read your opponents and hide your emotions while playing, playing online poker can sometimes seem quite dull.

Especially in cash games, where the blinds don’t increase and players need to grind for hours on end, the game does tend to take its toll on the players’ morale from time to time. Even though the game of poker is one of the most entertaining ones you can play, its online version can be rather boring from time to time.
