+1. I'm a total donk at table selection as I don't realize I'm the fish until way too late.

playing .05/.1 full ring
yesterday I ran 10 into 30ish in 1/2 hour.

Tonight I killed one $8 buy in (for some reason that was the default) and then ran 8 up to 40 in an hour. BB/100 is 27.27.....

If this keeps up it will be good for my roll but I can't see the fish-in-a-barrel fest lasting too long as their money runs out at a frenetic pace. I enjoy the speed. tonnes of blind stealing.

This could be the death of holdem. 3000 people away from real ring games..... not a whole lot considering the total that play but this is still the first week.

Im betting it fades away.. if they go into high limits, it could burn out alot of ppl... its intense lol.

I can imagine the low limits ring games are suffering for sure...but I am loving the rush game..lol...a game of steals and re-steals really. Aggression pays. Between last night and tonight at .25/.50...1446 hands, $370.00 gain. 35 bucks in rake paid...so about 9.50 of that back...Interestingly enough, 3rd best position for me in that run was sb...with 109 gain..and only lost 15 bucks in the big blind overall..says something for re-steals.

Wow, those are good numbers Dennis.. Are you just stealing blinds in SB?

.25/.50 means you are playing solid and running well.. wish the blinds were bigger eh?

Ive played 431 hands and am up 5 bucks... so I really have no opinion. LOL :D

its just..... meh to me.

If they do 1/2 or 2/4 I'd probably be alot more interested.

do they move you to a new table in the same position (so you don't have to pay the blinds more than once)?

No. In theory you could be OOP for many straight hands.

I was looking at some graphs on 2p2. By only 4 tabling for 4 hours people are getting in 4k hands a day which is really good news for rakeback grinders at low limits. Some hand histories are listing people with 600bb effective stacks winning with 88 on 7 hi bards by pushing on the river, etc. Seems like there is quite a bit of money to be made at the lower limits with rush poker.

No HUDs is a great thing for these limits IMO. However, lack of reads seems to take a lot away from the actual "poker" of the game and many are predicting this will just become a nit fest after a couple of weeks. Not that FR micro wasn't already due to rakeback grinders in the first place.

SB re-raise steals are a big part of my game there..yeah
I could play higher..but am comfortable where I am at...and the lightness of hands people under 100bb are willing to stack off with works for me.

We will see with a bigger sample size..tonight when the weekend warriors come out to play...

Make that 6 buy ins LOL this is fast!!!

DennisG

lol..yep..just got hammered 3 buy-ins as well (actually 4 as I was up one)..Three kings flopped, to a flopped straight...flopped straight to a flopped flush..and then the standard AA vs trash running the river straight..And a busted flush draw beating me with King high vs my OESD on an ace high board as I bet 2/3 flop and turn including a 2/3 pot river bet to take him off it...but to no avail..lol

These guys aren't playing tight..I have been watching some showdowns..a lot of trash being played...time to tighten up a bit

GTA Poker

The PLO games are insanely soft, but they only have micro stakes so far -- fun to try though. I hope they don't ever go above plo100 as it may kill the player pools.

GTA Poker

Anyone have a chart of the rake structure on rush? I've seen some PLO25 posted on 2p2 with rake of $8+.

DennisG

I saw that the NL10 rake was about 3.60/1000

-edit...I think my 1400 hands at nl50 was about 9.50 in rake..small sample..but still..

DennisG

Ok..2062 hands, $74.91rp, $20.23rb. These and above are 1 table, 6max stats.

edit-and about 800ish ftp fwiw.

Funny, now that I tightened up my resteals from sb, I losing there (almost even.) and now making money in the bb.

What is standard Agg? and Agg% usually?

running 10bi below ev in 2 hours of plo ... luv:(

I have been playing over the weekend, and to try it out I have been playing it like a double-or-nothing sit-n-go. I start with $10 in the .10/.20 game, and play until I have either doubled up or lost it all. Then I take a break, do something else, and then come back and try it again.

This allows me to keep my focus on the speed of the game, but not get caught up in one big hand to lose multiple buy ins. It also makes you adjust to some small stack poker too - my last one was a real roller coaster where I was down to $2 twice, but ended up coming back.

On Sunday I played for about 4 hours total, and went 6-1, gaining about $65 (The ones where I doubled up sometimes went more than $20, thus the extra gains). Nothing big, but it does help to pad the bankroll a bit.

One of the best features of Rush is that people who have no idea how to play a deepstack are playing VERY deep. This is a huge loss of profit if you are a good cash game player.

FTP points rack up quick when playing this......iron man will be extremely easy....2 tabling one .10 / .25 and one .25 / .50.....118 pts in about a half hour

SuitedPair

Fish are already being swallowed up. Less players per board and less money being made. I was only able to take down one buy-in while other days i've been able to take 2 or 3 in short order.

Must say thought that regular speed games are extremely slow now. Think I might be able to move up to 5 or 6 from 4 multi-tabling.
