    Question RUSH Poker on ftp

    What are some opinions out there about the "Rush" Poker tables on fulltilt?

    When I first read about it I almost cried. I thought God had finally answered my prayers. No more waiting forever for the next hand to start.

    However, I have now played 5-6 of these and I can honestly say I HATE them. Im so tempted to play ALOT looser since I think there is only 1-2 other players @ the table.

    Does/Did anyone else feel this way?

    You are correct, however you need to adjust your strategy.

    I haven't played enough of Rush to give an honest answer, but they ARE profitable. I believe that most people play VERY tight, even the fish...simply because they don't want to wait around to play their J9 off. Thus, the strategy is to play super LAG (loose aggressive). Pick up blinds and fire two bullets when necessary. Raise from the button and cut off with XX.

    Do the opposite of what the fish do. Anyway, that's my take on it...

    Took your advice, RakeGuard. Now I REALLY like rush tournaments.

    It feels GREAT not to have to wait for the multitabler's action.

    Gonna play a few more. Hopefully it becomes love.

    I personally don't care for it. Everyone does play tight especially the donks and most players seem to like to push when they hit any set. That's a personal play style issue.

    My main problem with it is that every time I've played it I seem to always land on one of the blinds. So basically my chip stack disappears pretty quickly simply from landing on the blinds. The third time I played I decided to track how many times I landed on either blind. Out of 200 hands I landed on either blind 112 times.

    Now I'm no math wiz but I have to say at a table of 9 it should seem I wouldn't hit the blinds more than 50% of the hands I play. Yet somehow I keep hitting the blinds and it really screws with play because you see your chip stack disappearing from blinds alone. It makes me play more marginal hands to try to makeup for the blind drain. It never works out though.

    So maybe it was just an anomaly. The fourth time I tracked it again and out of 200 hands I landed on a blind 96 times. Still basically half the hands I played I was sitting at a blind.

    I think that needs to be changed. They need to code something in the software where it balances the number of times each player lands on a blind, or completely remove the blinds all together and just go with small antes and distributing that burden across everyone.
