When playing on line – need constant action. Before Rush I would play 9-12 tables at a time. Now I can concentrate on 2 screens and get the same action. I’m up about $500 playing 2 entries at the .10/.25 for about 50 hours. Not great, not horrible. I play top ten hands out of position, typically ram and jam in position.you build up quite a few fpp’s especially at happy hour.

Wow. That is some of the worst advice i have ever taken. I wanted to experiment and in following your advice for not even 200 hands, I was down a full buy in. I was playing four tables at once and it was the OPPOSITE of Rush Poker when you’re waiting for the players to fold to you so that you can raise. Perhaps I would need to play more than 200 hands for a sample, but I wanted one buyin to be my stop/loss and obviously it was a good idea because I would have lost even more if I continued. Playing bad hands, even if they randomly connect the board, is the worst, most -EV idea ever.

Then again, if the point of your comment was to get people to play poorly so that you could exploit it, then… kudos, good sir. Well played.

Strategy is very easy in this game.
1. If people fold to you – no matter what hand you have no matter what position raise 3x the BB and you will usually take the blinds every time (around 65-70%). Don’t even look at your cards. People are waiting for big hands and fold is the order of the day. If anyone re-raises you pre flop fold. If anyone calls or raises before you – fold.
2. If one person calls you and you hit nothing on the flop – bet a pot size bet – 70% of the time they will fold right there and then.
3. With 2 callers again if your the first to act – bet the pot even if you have nothing. One may call you – play your normal game after that.
4. If any one re raises – fold
5. Because of the number of hands, most people who call you will be on high cards, if you call with crap, and the flop hits you – you will be payed off big time.

As no-one can get a read on you – you can use this every single hand and a you will pick up most of the blinds, and most of the pots after the flop. Any hands that go further than that – even if you any win a minority – you will be in front. Your going to win more than you loose – I know, I’ve been doing this for the last couple of days. it will esp. work in the lower stake games.

Its only a matter of time before everyone figures this out. This simply cracks the Rush Poker as being any game of ‘real poker’ at all. Personally, I’m a hopeless player – So my only claim to fame will be this post – the first to provide a winning system to this new form of poker.
