Oh, it's at fulltilt btw. And there seem to be a lot off fish, going all in pre with nothing :>

andrew5 · 01-19-10, 11:04 AM

i will try this

harlee71 · 01-19-10, 03:00 PM

Very addicting! What a great way for full tilt to make probably 5x the rake.

Good idea for them.... hit it early while the fish are still in there.... The novelity will wear off soon enough

ttwarrior1 · 01-20-10, 03:55 AM

How Rush Poker* works

Join a Rush Poker* game and be part of a large player pool, facing a different table of opponents every hand you play. As soon as you fold your hand, you'll be rushed to a new table for your next hand. To play even faster, use the Quick Fold button to move to another table, even if the action hasn't reached you yet.

Not knowing your opponets is a receipe for disaster unless you just like to lose money or you're one of those that play 500k or more hands.....
I think the novelity will wear off pretty quickly.

I played last night but i also liked knowing the background of the person i was playing against.

Made a killing today, well playing micro stakes I made over $100 so I call that a killing. I dont want to stop! LOL

The one thing I disliked was when you wanted to do something for a second, like checking an email, it was near impossible cause the table poped up every few seconds, the only way around this was to sit out, which got annoying.

That's not a very good idea if you're looking to extract data using PT or Hold'em manager. Very -EV for players who actually know how to play.

In the long run yes, but there is a definite flow to the game. I wont give away what I am doing right now(I know the fish will catch on soon) but for an $8 buy in I cashed $122.73 Almost 2 hours later. I will say this. There are a lot of players that throw out a 3 bet preflop or bet the pot just trying to win blinds. They then fold if they get any resistance. Of that $122 I didn't have many showdowns.

Pretty cool idea, but i'd rather play a table with the same opponents.

harlee71 · 01-21-10, 01:06 AM

The group I am in now

avg h per hr 250
high h per hr 639 lol

harlee71 · 01-21-10, 02:10 AM

I tried one more time tonight. Played 1 hr and lost $16 Lost to AA 3x KK 1x QQ 2x Full House 3x I lost atleast $35 to those hands alone. So needless to say I was playing pretty good, just had good hands against monsters at the wrong time. Will give it a shot sometime tomorrow and see how it goes and report back. Oh in the hour I played it was just under 200 hands.

Lint Pockets · 01-21-10, 04:11 AM

so is this just for cash games or also tournaments because i dont play cash games that much just usually sngs.

What are you doing pre? I've been ramming around pre and on the flop a lot and it wasn't working at all.

Ian · 01-21-10, 09:15 AM

I don't see the point of this. The winners will just be ABC players and the games will likely become infested with push/fold shortstackers. I guess it's a good way to eliminate "hudbots," but most people will be playing a mechanized strategy anyway so it doesn't really matter.

JMUplayer · 01-21-10, 10:24 AM

It gives you the option of multi tabling without actually having multiple screens open.... You play 3 tables @ once you get the same effect.

I think you'll drastically see a decrease in # of players. Last night from 10 p.m. to midnight there were roughly 500 players in the .10/.25 apollo room

Jiggy Fly · 01-21-10, 11:20 AM

I love it!!

chadodaddio · 01-22-10, 11:08 AM

gonna try it 2nite

Jaug · 01-22-10, 07:13 PM

Love it. People making some sick moves though, getting lucky but hey, it's all about probability in the long run.

1.7k hands in something like 80 mins, sick.

Jaug · 01-22-10, 07:18 PM

Are you ****ing kidding me? 5th hand get it it for 60 bbs pre KK vs A2 off suite lose it. 10th hand 88 vs AA flop AJ8

Well, I guess you gotta be on the bandwagon while it's running. I hope you will be able to separate nicely as well. Keep it up!
