Out in 263rd. Shoved 88 with an M of about 8 or 9 from middle position after one limper. BB called (AA), limper called (JJ). Got one card away from a flush that would have tripled me up.

dropped $16 last night in rush, lost both times on the damn river to 3 outers

Played in event 1 of the UBOC 30+3 bounty tournament on UB. Started at 8 and I should of known better.

I got lucky a little early when I hit a runner runner flush in the middle of a three barrell bluff (amazing the comments I took from that hand considering I did the betting on every street and never got raised and then paid off by 1 pair J kicker, I thought the other dude played it poor). Then flopped top pair of J against QQ and got lucky with another J. From there I played solid poker til I got tired (this one I might of deserved the commentes :) squeezed a raise and a call with J8 and decided on J high flop to play it like nuts).

Busted out around 1am in 99th place for 50 bucks and 5-$5 kos. First was 7k and I think I could of had a better shot if I was used to playing that late or it was during the day.

Won like $5 playing rush...didnt play more then 100 hands. Only saw rivers with made hands other was winning pots with rags.

Yeah, while the shove I went out on last night was fairly standard, it's not a move I'd make even an hour earlier. I need to remember not to play the DD unless I'm energetic enough to stay up until 2 or 3. A higher buy-in late night deep run will wake me up itself, but the DD's payouts aren't that exciting after the top 4 or 5. Finishing in the top 3% of a nearly 10,000 player field seems like it should pay more than $4, no matter how many times you remind yourself it was a $1 investment.

From Lee Watkinson's blog:



Last night I tried out a new type of cash game that was just added to Full Tilt. It is called “Rush” poker. It’s a little hard to explain, but takes about 30 seconds to figure out once you start playing. Basically it takes you immediately to the next hand as soon as you decide not to play the one you have been dealt. They do this by grouping hundreds of players into a pool and then moving players to a new table, and deal, as soon as they decide to fold their hand. It is almost instant.

Of course the draw back is you have no idea how the players are playing, by watching hands you are not in(not that I do that anyway), and other players are less likely to play bad hands because they can just look at another hand right away.

I think this is going to be a very popular game it is very fun. I don’t know if it will become my game of choice, as I like to watch TV while I play and there is no time for that, you are totally focused on your screen. It is like the “Crack” of internet poker(i have never smoked crack, I am just going by what I hear).

Rush poker is crack for sure and FTP will make a killing. I really think they should have the option to turn it off or set limits on it.

I should of got energized by that tourney last night, I was in top 25 most of the night even as late as 110 players . I was just beat and made a bad read that lead me short stack. Then got back to avg but at that point I was just playing way to many pots and playing them poorly. Last time I can play anything that late.

So then you should play more hands.

Until the field adjusts, absolutely. And maybe it never will. I like being in on the ground floor of something brand new like this. I can't wait to see how it develops. It will almost certainly be the only cash game I ever play now. What I'm anticipating is firing it up when my mtt schedule for the night winds down to one or two tourneys, and riding it out until I'm done.

Another thing I'm considering is setting "must quit" and "must cash out" marks. I think if I ever drop a third buy-in in one night, I'll bail. I'm less sure of where I should set my cashout point. I'm thinking 4 or 5 times the buy-in. I can re-enter afterwards, but there's a point where the utility of having a bigstack is outweighed by the risk of getting coolered for a huge amount.

I have had this issue, especially with my very loose style strategy. I get up 2-3 buy-ins then I take a pretty big hit in a cooler hand. I buy in for 8 bucks (play 10nl right now) and I think Im going to cash out anytime I reach 15. Jump on the other rush table and start again. I just read something on P5s that guys are getting in 1k hands an hour playing multi rush tables. Wish I could do rakeback.

Anyidea how hard it would be to create new account and get rakeback, thinking about setting my wife up an account.

I've never gone farther than having that exact thought....only with my wife, not yours...that would just be creepy.

Have you tried 6max yet?

yes, not for very long though. I can't imagine a hand to fold 6 handed assuming even playing tight has a wide range. I played 6 handed ring games for more action, not really needed with rush. I'll stick with 9 for now.

Rush PLO is here..............

Sat in with $12 with $47.80 but I hit an early huge draw against overpair and then flopped set against 2 over pairs.
