I played the 0.02/0.05 rush table to clear the Take 2 bonus and found it really easy. for the 9 days of Take 2 I played 10 sessions and won money in every session.

How did I do it? Well some of it was luck I'll say that from the start because as you would expect at that level there are some crazy plays that get rewarded by the miracle river. But generally I played very very tight, AA, KK, QQ, JJ, AK, AQ. sometimes in late position I'd play pairs from 10 10 down and sometime AJ. Because of the speed of the table the big hands seem to come fairly regularly so you are in enough hands to make a profit.

If I don't hit the flop with any hand I play I carry on with extreme caution, if it's checked to me after the flop and I miss I may c bet to see what's happening but if I get action I shut down. If I have a big draw and everyone checks I usually check too, if you c bet then some hero usually check raises you all in and makes it too expensive to chase the draw, but many players are passive enough to let you check to the river and make the flush or the straight and still too stupid to fold when you come out betting after the river.

If I hit the flop I bet, no fancy play. Unless I have a player who has to act after me that I know to be aggressive. Yes even in Rush you get to see the same players so it's worth noting an ATM. If I bet the flop/turn/river with what I am pretty sure is the best hand I bet 1/2 to 3/4 of the pot loads of player will pay you off with crap. If my hand looks to have been drawn out on I try and shut down I'd rather lose a little than have some pain in the ass suck out and take most of my money.

I find you get ALOT of players in RUSH micro buyins who buyin for less than a full stack & only play premium hands... unfortunately this makes playing them in position with stuff like low pp's (set mining) & SC's not profitable (stacks are usually not deep enough).
If the player who opens has ~60bbs+ I will always flat in LP w any pp & SC's. Players on micro RUSH tables do not seem to be capable of getting away from overpairs & TPTK type hands so when you do hit your set (straight/flush, etc) you will often be able to stack them off making it very profitable.
I'll also occassionally do some really f'd up plays... ie. there's a raise & call... if I have AA I'll sometimes shove 100bb's & actually get looked up enough times to make it very profitable (sounds stupid/crazy.... but am thinking that villain is thinking..>> "wtf??... what is this donkey shoving allin here with??... looks like a crazy bingo-type shove/steal.. with maybe AK/AQ... I call with my JJ!") << seems like a bad idea but have tried this in a few sessions and aside from having great laughs in front of my monitor by the hands that surprisingly look me up (only to their dismay to see I have AA, lol).. it has also been very profitable.
