Rush Poker, Cool & Cruel

Feb 7, 2010 4:31 am Report Abuse

Rush Poker has found it's way into my heart so to speak, I have profited quite a tidy sum playing it in low stakes, yet sometimes it can be so cruel !.... Tonight I flop a straight flush, naturally none of the guys in the hand with me want to play even though I checked the flop, and made a small bet on the turn, so little value for the hand....Most big hands end up that way, I find more profit from suited connectors than big pairs !

Later on I flop a set of 9's and get them in good after the turn only to have my opponent hit his 2 outer for the win on the river, damnit !

I have saw AA several times, but it usually doesn't get anyone to play with, once tonight I saw two people with AA and the same with QQ, suprisingly neither time did one of them make a flush...lol... Rush has a pretty high rake for the size of the pots, but I find that if I follow the suggested strategy I posted in a blog, I am winning more than losing almost every day !...Here is a link :

It is my goal to win $50 a day for 5 days a week, and limit myself to losing $30 if I can't get something going. It really doesn't seem that hard to get $50 or more on most days, sometimes I get it faster then I thought I would, and want to play more, but I am proud to say that so far I have been able to resist. I have left a quick Rush game and tried to sat into the $750K a couple of times though, thinking I was on a heater and had a good chance....yeah, right....lol...

One thing that playing Rush does to you is makes you wish there was a quick fold button when you play a regular tournament...lol.. I joined TMHawk11's tournament tonight, and kept looking for that option, I won't say it caused me to be real impatient, or really affected my game, it was just that I wanted to see the next hand at a little faster pace...lol...

I hope there are others having success playing Rush, I sometimes see fellow Railbirds on the Apollo table (my favorite), if you see me playing there, hit the "sit out next hand" button, and I will do the same so we have a chance to say hi proper !

I got a Royal paid off playing 10nl Rush. My first one ever, I thought for sure I wasn't going to get anything for it.

I lost half my BR in a few minutes. I'm only saying this for others to make sure you stay within limits like TC. I couldn't afford to play the micro stakes and took FT up on thier offer to get $5 if you make 10 fpps today. No way for me. I'm glad to see lot's of birdies are taking some cash from it. Love the success storie. I'll go back to bank roll management 101 and try to pull my br back up tomorrow. Gl to all who play, enjoy the weekend, it's a choice...jim...freeeeeedom!!!

I tried the play chips first with 5000 and had 35000 in less than 10 minutes. Then I showed a friend that plays on line to. I put $10 on the lowest one and within 5 minutes I was down to $2. It took me half an hour to get it up to $12. then I got the hell out of there. I do believe that could be and very additive game.

it must not be as popular as it seems. yesterday FT ran a promo "earn $5. if you play rush and accumulate 10FTP, which isn't much. so if you played yesterday and there's $5 iextra in your account - that's what it is. peace
