RAMPAGING Thread

GTA Poker

I will personally try some Devinesque 20bb rampaging at the 6max O8 tables in the upcoming weeks.

Anyone else going to attempt any rampage runs?

Unknown

Is this the deal where you move up limits every time you have 20 bb for the next level with the goal being to move as high as possible?

I don't think I've ever heard it referred to as rampaging.

I've had really good(lucky) results at shorthanded 1/2 and 2/4 recently, so I'm in.

I'll give it a go tonight.

Cheers

Yes sir, you are correct...search for all aces previous postings

I actually found some of them aftetr this. It's funny, I'm not a big "gambling" type. I play no games other than poker, and am not an action junkie at all. However, whenever I read a big story about a guy taking his forty bucks and running it to alomost fifty grand, I get this twitch in my stomach. I'm going to dedicate a weekend soon, to a full on rampage. Spend a couple of weeks practiscing and
doing some reading. I'm playing shorthanded 2/4 right now, and am running pretty well, so we'll see how it goes. I'll let you know when I finally get around to trying it.

Cheers

First rampage report.

$5 at PokerStars 0.10/0.25 9max NLHE Table.

Push all in on the SB with AQo. (second hand of the table) I get called by K6o and he spikes a K on the turn. I'm out! Not a great start to rampaging...

Starting in March I want to get back into full ring limit holdem. To get the party started i think I'm going to start with 40xBB at 3/6 and go from there, moving up whenever I have 40xBB at the next level all the way to 30/60 should I be so lucky.

Nice post Zithal. I expect that you must be the only rampager to have actually posted how your rampage went bust (which I assume happens like +90% of the time). Way to keep things in perspective!

Absolute Poker put some money in my account. I'll have to start low, but, seems like a good way to try the Rampaging.

I GAVE IT A TRY! Started at party shorthanded 10 20, destroyed that two tabling for 3k. Decided Im gonna rampage the 50-100, sat with 2k and lost 1400.

Harthgosh, I don't know if I just can't make it out, but what exactly is your picture of?

Thought I'd give this a shot, but I used Fell Knight's blog since I prefer NL.  I played at Empire on the 6-max tables, and decided I'd use $20 (4 attempts ).  My results were less than stellar.  I'm not sure if it's due to the strategy which has me pushing more than I ever have, my inexperience short-handed, or simply a run of luck.  Either way, it was definitely a rush, a lot of fun, and I got my starting $5 up to $60 at one point .

Decided to do extreme rampaging, so I start multitabling at .02/.04 and figure by the weekend I will be battling neverwin and HALLINGOL. After 50 hands I want to blow my brains out. I'm up $0.40.
Maybe I will try starting at a higher limit next time. :-/

I wonder if you guys were going with 20 big blinds or 20 big bets? Either way, the past couple of nights I started with $40 and did rampaging with 20 big bets. Started at 1/2 6 max andw ent all the way up to 5/10 tonight with around 320. 3 big hands within 3 orbits (flop trips losing to river flush, flop straight losing to rivered higher straight, two pair losing to trips on river) basically "bankrupt" me.

started $40 at 1/2, got up to 5/10 dumped a bit and now I've stopped at 150ish. I may give it a few more shots as it was pretty fun.

Were you rampaging on Stars soup?

RAMPAGE!!!!

Nooner81

Started with $100 on Poker Stars playing 2/4 limit. Turned it into $200. Jumped on 5/10 this morning and doubled my to $400 in about 5 hrs.

I now have $400 and just jumped on a 10/20 limit table.

Nooner81

40 minutes later I drop $300. One guy won 5 hands in a row and his stack went from $400 to $900 in about 5 minutes.

He dumped it all back in the next 10 minutes.

westside8

I'm assuming you were playing 6 max?

harthgosh

RAMPAGE was an awesome arcade game, smashing cities, eating people. I loved being wolfman.

Yes it was stars 6 max. I kinda cheated, I went up to 5/10 when I was at just over 3ish because my 3/6 table broke.

Hork42

I find that listening to AC/DC and Rage Against the Machine makes the rampaging JUST a BIT more intense.

Just starting, full ring limit on UB. $40 at 1/2. Will post my results as soon as there's something to post.

I skipped 3/6 because I just went on an insane run at 2-4 and the table broke with me up to 300 or so which took me directly to 5-10

SirWatts

I can't remember ever running this good at limit holdem. I started off 'slow' at 3/6 (6max) only running at 7BB/100 hands.

369 hands +$153 6.91 BB/100

But I kicked it into full blown rush at 5/10 (6max) clearing my last FPPs to get GoldStar on PS for February:

173 hands +$547 31.62 BB/100

Then I tried some 10/20 full at party. Started slow but then I hit a 2-outer which sparked another full-blown rush.

190 hands +$703 18.50 BB/100

Totalling:

732 hands +$1403 15.76 BB/100

I guess by my 40xBB rule I'm supposed to be at 20/40 next time. I'll have to think it over because I'd prefer not to donk off this rush in one sitting playing too high but we'll see.

Are you or are you not rampaging!?!

Of COURSE you go to 20/40. And, you only stop moving up when you hit the highest limit available at the site you are rampaging.

SirWatts

Of course you're right, what was I thinking?? I originally said I'd cap it at 30/60 if i somehow get passed that point then I will reserve the right to pussy out. Those 20/40 donks aren't going to know what hit them.
