Haha.. i'm absolutely in no position to give advice so if you want advice don't click on my threads.. at least for a couple of years

The "speed" of Rush poker has a few interesting effects. In general people have a tighter range, but there are also some psychological effects. I think the act of quick folding a lot leads to people not slowing down when they actually do have a hand so you make decisions too quickly which leads to mistakes. Also you are playing a lot more hands in the same period of time so your brain jumps to illogical conclusions because of the time compression.

In any case there are videos about Rush here and on Full Tilt Poker Academy. They have lots of good advice for you.

1 found only 1 video about rush - nl10 fullring. Is that correct? Anyone can share some good links on strategys in rush? or more videos?

I exactly know what you talk about. I have sessions of 3k hands where I just breakeven or plus only around 100-200bb, but there are the more common session where I ran into quads with my flop full house, about 2-3 times in 3k hands, also loosing 2-3flop straight and the minimum till now is 3 AA preflop allin that are lost, I'm talking about 70k hands here what I made this month, there was no single day in rush when I didnt loose at least 2 AA, at least 2 straight and 2 flop full houses..I cant call it variance, smt stinks I just cant explain it, I'm sure the "winning" poker players never see such thing to repeat daily, over and over again, let me show u an example

I had a bad beat session as usual yesterday and this hand came up

I simply knew, I felt he has quads, but I couldnt fold the turn, but see the river..my gf was near me, tell me WTF ? check? I'm like, its quads ffs!!!

unfoldable hands, that lose everyday, and I'm not posting how many AA I folded on the turn/river, at least daily 2 aswell...variance? dunno really, also what sucks, in the "very bad" session I have lets say 50 AT-AK, from which not a single one hits top pair on board, and if it does its again 2pair or set..

change back to normal fullring game. rush is only good for opening bonuses and getting rakeback ..

or but more pressure on players preflop with your monsters.

I know what you mean OZSA. Just now I also had a bad session: I know I made a few mistakes (and I'm working on that ) but I know exactly what you mean by "feels like something's up."

I don't know, I'm a beginner - I'm sure I'm responsible for most of my losses. I'll give it another go and if I have a losing sessions (losses I can't control) I guess I'll go back to sit n gos (where I'm mostly winning!).

Good to discuss it here though, cheers and good luck!

Matt

for me this started around 2months ago, but to be so regular its 1month, and im not really beginner, must have played at least 250k hands, or 300k+. actually rush is bad, its not good to play, but i still clear the bonus by playing rush, which sux..i hate it

Is there a second bonus given by Pokerstrategy?

yeah. why not? they are tired of raising 3.5 BB and getting 3-4 callers. Can happen, when someone calls from early position, then everyone wants to see the flop and hit there crap ..

Dealing with a flop with more then 1 player (any kind. dry or not) is awful utg with a pair of aces ..
