Rush Tournaments
I played one of these yesterday. I doubt I will play one again while I am multi tabling but they are (imo) the most exploitable form of MTT currently.
1) Knowing: Most people quick fold until they get a nut hand.
I decided I would open every single hand.
I decided I would fold every time I got 3bet. (maybe getting exploited by some people using the same theory but w/e).
I decided I would 3bet every single time it was opened on me in the blind.
I decided I would fold every time there was a 4bet shove.
With 1500 starting stacks I got to 16K showing down very little.
Doubled up to ~35K QQ > 1010.
Busto QQ < AK for about 3x buyin.
I dont know what my point is, but this is definately the game where optimal game theory can be exploited huge, at an accelerated level for an MTT.

Pokertracker was working for the cash rush game but it doesn't seem to work in the tourneys?
Poker hand played on PartyPoker with a pot size of $4,345 - Pokerhand.org
Definitely gunna try some more out though.
yeah it won't work with rush donkaments, maybe because there is a bigger pool of players?
Is this true for both cash and MTT, or just cash?

seems like pretty standard 6max play -- I guess the benefit is that you can do it all game as noone will ever catch on
FWIW...I started playing 2-3 tables of the RUSH cash tables recently, instead of just playing 1 rush + a bunch of other tables. It's quite fun to join the player pool multiple times and just multi-table within the same player pool. 3 is basically max I can play now...I think I can max out at 4 if I play more often but that is pretty much the absolute max without timing out alot.
This exactly. Its not exploitable because nobody ever catches on.
hehe, just made a note to open every one of your blinds and 4 bet ship ATC...oh wait, maybe I shouldn't have said that <.< These tournaments are gonna make regulars metagame the hell out of themselves
im pretty sure the tourneys are time, while cash is # of hands.
The tourneys are different to punish people trying to stall on the bubble.
What do you do when you get cold called? cont bet?
