Full Tilt Rush Poker Format

[ND1991]

I am curious if anyone else has tried this?

I have messed around some on the $0.05/$0.10 table with max buy-in of $10. Here are my stats:

VP$IP: 23.76%
PFR: 16.72%
W$WSF: 39.18%
WTSD: 28.61%
W$SD: 50.45%
AF: 1.85
AFq: 41.21
3Bet: 4.41%
Fold3B: 67.33%
Att to Steal: 42.86%
Fold BB to Steal: 62.50%
Fold SB to Steal: 73.53%

Hands: 2,199
Hands won: 328 (14.92%)
Sessions: 7
Sessions won: 6 (85.71%)
Hours: 8.55 (257+ hands/hour playing ONE table)
Amount won: $5.45
BB/hour: 3.19
$/hour: $0.64

Granted not a huge sample, but curious what people see? I am trying to find differences between micro stakes Rush poker and regular ring games.

Thanks!

The obvious HUGE difference is (in my opinion) >> expecting a higher winrate playing 'read-less' poker is ridiculous. Aren't we typically winning on cash tables by learning to exploit our opponent's tendancies,.... using gathered information for future hands we play vs. them?
Now in spite of saying this (lol), I have found all kinds of weird stuff on Rush poker tables and have put in a few thousand hands on them (< doesn't take long, lol),... maybe ~10,000 hands (it's addictive.. what can I say, lol).
You'll run into all types on those tables, from the nittiest of nits to the constantly bluffing overaggroballs.... not knowing which is which (read-less in most cases) can make it like playing a lottery. I actuallly still take notes on the Rush tables and alot of my profit has come as a result (so what does that tell me?....um.. maybe why they're not a great idea in the first place, lol).

I've had mixed results in RUSH Poker - - last night I lost a couple of buyins (couldn't hit a set if my life depended on it, missed monster draws.. ie. straightflush draw, nut-flush draws, etc.) BUT the night before (yah.. I've played them again recently after swearing off of Rush pokerd... I need a meeting!! lol) I won 6buyins in around 20mins.

Most profitable on Rush tables I find is set-mining.... when I'm able to call EP raises (& preferably a call or two as well) with any pp in LP (as long as stacks are deep enough to give me implied odds). I can't count how many times I've been able to stack off opponents when I hit my set.... they absolutely seem to not be able to let go of TPTK or a big overpr. THis (for sure!) has been where I've seen most of my profit on the Rush poker tables (one hand yesterday I actually was able to stack two opponents at same time, winning a 320bb pot when I flopped a set w 88 in LP).

In a nutshell.... I try not to play much RUSH Poker & when I do succumb to the urge, it's with intentions of playing poker for 5 or 10mins. (when I don't have time for player reads, sng's or mtts', etc.). Oddly enough the session quite often lasts alot longer than 10mins., lol.

i did like it at first since it goes so quick, but at the same time, it goes to quick. lol. there's no time to try and read anybody and it's all about push, push, push. much rather be at the ring tables.

I found rush addicting (to my surprise) and a quick way to chalk up points. Have had only one losing day so far at the micro stakes.

If you play at the same time every day, you do run into a lot of the same players, so notes are helpful, especially for the guys that limp with big pocket pairs just waiting for the opportunity to scoop up the all in with any pp players, who are typically there with the minimum buyin.

Not a lot of actual poker playing imo, and you rarely see more than 3 players in a pot with the quick fold option. But it is fun and a good way to see a lot of hands in the minimum amount of time.

I have yet to this day to try these rush games and i heard some say theyn hated it but others say they loved it so i may have to give it the ol college try

[lamerfoo]

there are rush freerolls in fulltilt and i folded 100hands in like 5 mins

[bruceybruce]

i like the rush poker at full tilt, as soon as it was released i was scared to try it, so i tried playing one of the freerolls. it was awesome i placed 37th out of 7500 people. Ive really warmed up to it!

I love this Game.
Its Fast its more pure Poker without waiting.
I played some Cashgame with 0,05/0,10$ Blinds and made 15$ in round 10 min.
I also play the 1,10$ buyin Tournament at 8.15 ET.
Its boring to sit around and Fold and wait and wait and Fold.
I love this Fast one.

How long do these tournaments usually take? Seems like with that many people it would still take quite a few hours?

[Bastian2607]

Its not easy to say.
As i finished 9th in a ca. 250 Player Tournament i played round 1,5 Hours.
I think without the Rush it will take 3-4 Hours.
Try it out.
I hate the waiting time for a good Hand.
But as a Poker Player i think its important that you can wait.
So the better training for Live Tournaments is the normal Play.
Beginners feel a lot of pressure to Doubleup as Fast as the Tabels change.
So be careful with your Bankroll
