The last two positions I play lots and lots of hands, trying to steal blinds, or simply cbetting if someone defends.<br /><br />This strategy has worked very well so far, but now that people have HUDs in Rush poker (including myself), I may have to switch it up again. I don't want to change everything based on a 500 hand sample, though - my overall rush stats are still quite good (over 4 PTBB/100).matt taghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08082969194551315973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-803565406050693453.post-52976330372882345432010-02-02T05:02:37.707-05:002010-02-02T05:02:37.707-05:00Matt, for each session do you have an allocated ti...Matt, for each session do you have an allocated time you plan to play? <br /><br />Sounds like you were rattled well before the 400 hand mark and maybe should have called it a night and picked up a book? My sessions can be 5 minutes or 5 hours and well into the night - depending on if i feel my mojo is workin' or not. <br /><br />Tonight was 5 minutes...<br /><br /><br />FGForrest Gumphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06314271152182792365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-803565406050693453.post-67038735613816843012010-02-02T03:23:11.246-05:002010-02-02T03:23:11.246-05:00Matt, not to rub it in, but today I defended my bl...Matt, not to rub it in, but today I defended my blind with 9To and turned a boat against TPTK who pushed the river. later I led out with TJs and rivered a str8 (I was given odds ;-)). Both times the players were in with big pairs, for naught. I've made more $ playing Rush than I have at regular FTP ring games.<br /><br />Yes, I've been felted twice, and I know the situation can turn on a dime. Just don't get too discouraged, OK?bastinptchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01831273031973399021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-803565406050693453.post-84548511744321067052010-02-02T03:21:37.636-05:002010-02-02T03:21:37.636-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.bastinptchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01831273031973399021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-803565406050693453.post-31463683106933553822010-02-01T22:59:20.110-05:002010-02-01T22:59:20.110-05:00Wow.

That last hand sucks but ush monkeys are push monkeys and Rush gives you no clue to that tendency.<br /><br />Matt, what is your range for leading out? Are you playing only pairs and big suiteds? The reason I ask is the few times I have played (prolly 1K hands now), I'm doing well with AA, KK, AKs, and maybe QQ. As I've mentioned elsewhere, my really big hands have been draws, both won and lost. If there is a turn card in this largely nit fest, I'm usually up against a set or, if I flop a set, a big draw. Still, it's hard to put on the brakes when you're playing at the speed of light.bastinptchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01831273031973399021noreply@blogger.com
