    Need to adjust 10% minimum buy on table in zynga poker

    Zynga Poker is a good game and I am playing this game since it started. It'd be nice to have 1 or 2 tables that require a 100bb minimum buy-in, at every stake or at stakes above 10k/20k. This could please the minority without hurting the majority. As you move higher, fewer people buy in with 100bb. I guess the reason some still buy in with 100bb is they want to play with people who also have 100bb, but most people buy in with 10-20bb at stakes above 10k/20k. So I don’t know whether minimum 10% on table possible or not.

    Also I played this game long time ago and I tried earlier after having a test raising the min buy-in but it didn’t solve the bingo issue. Thus people still prefer pre-flop at the tables, while others were complaining that the buy-ins were too high. At the same time, people were playing fewer hands at these new tables. What we found is that we cannot do a one-size fits all approach. So I think zynga are actively working on a few ways to resolve the issue.

    As far as I'm afraid, there is nothing that can be done to the original Texas Hold the game without turning it into something different and unappealing to those who love the format. But may be Limit and Pot Limit both of them are same, please excuse my ignorance, are in the pipeline? I know from other posts that some players would like those versions too. A wider choice for Zynga's poker players can only be a good thing in my opinion.

    Well I think that to institute one server, as a test run, that only restricts the ante. I mean to say no more than 5X BB. After the flop, back to unlimited. Call the server Ante Limit. I like the no limit format, but the bingo donks really tick me off - there have been dozens of hands that I've had to fold, over a 20X BB ante by some jackleg, and the flop comes up and I've had flush to A, full house, or straight.
    Given the percentage of hands one can expect to have a easy task, every time one of those clowns does that, it costs me about 15 - 20 minutes of patiently waiting on the cards to come around to me again. It also gets harder to remain patient. I suspect, at a real casino, even if it was some rich person with money to burn, the table could request that the person be forced to go to a higher ante table, and leave them in peace to play at they level of the table stakes. If I wanted to ante 10K every time, I wouldn't be sitting at the 500/1K table - much less the 200/400 table. So how about one "Ante Limit" server, with a max 5X BB ante cap, and no limit after the flop? If it flies, put up a couple more. I think it would be a good way to correct for the fact that we aren't playing for real money, and there would still be plenty of big pots to play for.

    Hey buddy this may work for you but not for all, but then some might complain about flop bingo, turn bingo, and river bingo. As long as it's unlimited at some point, huge over-betting will happen and people will complain. Even professionals sometimes complain about it. But again, this happens at all play-money sites that allow player to buy in with 10bb at every table: as your finance gets bigger and as you climb higher, you end up facing more short-stackers, you get irritated, and your huge bankroll is left in the corner and gets all filthy.

    Well I have a solution that mostly all professional use it to play this prefolp with having pot limit hem the rules. Also post flop with having unlimited holds the rules. Thus I think this might work on Zynga poker. Thus in my opinion, it will work completely. I like the idea. Bu there is only one thing is that zynga should make a decision to develop some tables having this certain rule. I hope this happens quickly.

    With post-flop bingo, you already have at least 70% information of your hand and should be able to make an easy choice on whether to fold or call their shoves. Any one who blindly post flop will get killed really rapidly. But I wouldn't suggest pot limit to eliminate bingo. This will destroy all preflop play. What if I really have AA and want to rise to protect my hand? By simply raising the minimum buy-in it will be highly profitable for me to call bingo players with my AA and win huge amounts of chips instead of just 10bb with is pathetic. Thus I don’t think so that this idea will work.
