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.

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.

JDMcNugent7 · #9 01-20-10, 08:13 PM

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.

Talking Poker · #14 01-21-10, 12:24 PM

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.

JDMcNugent7 · #15 01-22-10, 12:17 AM

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.

Talking Poker · #16 01-22-10, 12:40 AM

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.
