Rush poker on ftp
 

is awesome.

wow, agreed. once they have this at higher stakes it will be so awesome

yes, this is fantastic :thumbsup:

This is crazy. How many tables you think you can play at a time?

It's more than awesome, in fact. I'm trying to figure out what the optimal strategy for this game is, and right now, I'm leaning toward thinking it's Ultra LAG, since most people seem to be nitting it up.

I 2 tabled for about an hour last night, playing "normally" to start - 626 hands running 22/19 at 6 max. I ran below average for sure, and finished up a half buy in on one table and down 3/4 of a buy in on the other - so, call it statistically even.

After that, I moved down to the lowest limits and played 4 tables of 93/93 poker. I basically raised or 3 bet ATC unless it was already 3 bet by the time it got to me (plus a few unintentional folds). I then CB'd just about every flop and tried to play well after that. After 500 hands, I was down 2.5 buy ins, but one of those was literally a misclick all in call preflop (whoops!) and I ran really poorly. I think even that style would be profitable in the logn run against the style of the "field" last night (which I expect to change over time).

I'm thinking about doing a 7/7 or so test next, or maybe even a shove or fold strategy at full ring. heh.

Overall though, it's awesome.

AWESOMENESS cept for my nuts turn's getting nutted on the river everytime!!!

Fun stuff!

I'd be happy to have an Rush poker strategy conversation in one of the locked forums. I don't think we should have that discussion in an "open" forum, as I think it is a pretty obvious and yet no one seems to be picking up on it.

tell me more about this secret strat plz

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

JDMCNUGENT7 POKERZ>>>>>>>>.............>>>>>>>mel poker

lol nah he sucks.

This needs to be available for LHE.

Will it be called rushing now instead of grinding when playing?

I've tried playing 6tables of 6max at once and it's just too much.

I can do 4 pretty easily, but any more than that and I'm not using the Quick Fold button enough to make it worthwhile and I don't think I get in many more hands per hour than I do just 4 tabling. So for me, 4 tabling it is. That's easily 1000 hands per hour (closer to 1200, but I'll be conservative), which is a solid "rushing" pace for me.

I have like 0 desire to switch back to regular poker right now. I played 5000 hands (exactly) yesterday, which is more than I have ever played on a single day ever. I'm usually a 10-12k per MONTH kind of guy. Pathetic, yes, but also true.

just not realized u could multi table this at .50/1, thought since there was just 1 game u could only play 1 of it.

Nope, you should be playing 4 at a time. :)

I got absolutely murdered playing Rush tonight.

It's about as bad as you can run, or close to it, but feels like 10x worse because you are playing so many hands.

That was just retarded gross.

I am running very bad as well...money goes in good but the end result is not good at all.

And I have yet to get aces dealt...wtf?

They added 1-2 already

PLO+Rush Poker = addiction city. too bad they only offer it at $0.10/$0.25PLO right now.

This shit is so rigged.

soooo rigged getting crushed

agreed.

this shit is gonna cost some people a fuck load of money. im on the fence with it since im not much of a ring game player. love seeing upwards of 300-400 hands an hour, but no table consistency is a big downfall.

And others are going to make money. That's poker.

I officially suck at Rush Poker.

I'm doing/running very good at Rush so far.

$20 profit over my first 750 hands.

I'll post some strategy stuff a little later in the other thread...

here's my graph for my first 2400ish hands:

When they get this for midstakes PLO I will get some Carpel Tunnel

I don't think that will happen. FTPdoug on 2+2 said essentially the max they'll roll it out is 2/4 (which he said is unlikely to start) for NLHE. Maybe with masses of people wanting higher limits rolled out it will happen, but interest already seems to be waning with rush poker.

Really? Are the numbers dropping? I seriously expected this to take off and most people to prefer it over traditional online poker.

Rush Poker was made for PLO. I wish more folks were playing it and there were more buyin levels available.

I'm just basing assumptions off of what 2+2 is saying. That very well may be false.

Done!

Only $.50/$1 for now, but it's a start.

Is it me or have these games been getting tougher over the past 2-3 days?

At one point I went on a $60 downswing over 1700 or so hands without winning a cooler or flip. at least I didn't go broke and still have a couple buy-ins.

Here is my disgusting graph:

Yep... the "rush" is over.

lol

Sweet. Gonna give it a try later tonight.

I finally tried this. For someone with ADHD, this is worse than crack. Still awesome though.
