Saturday, March 20th, 2010

Another session of Raise Everything at rush poker. VPIP of 66, PFR of 59.9, minus bb/100 of 75.38. And that’s in spite of stacking one guy who was willing to get it all in on a Qxx 2 tone board when he min 3 bet me with AQ, but I hit my flush on the [...]

Session 2; Raise Everything

Saturday, March 20th, 2010

It’s not easy.
100 hands, VPIP 71.1, PRF 66.0, minus 81.2 bb/100.
At least the bb/100 is not as bad as last session. C-bet of 73%, with a success of 70.4%.
I’m not sure why it’s still this bad. Right now I’m resorting to pretending that I have either AK/AQ or JJ/TT/99, adjusting this so that I don’t [...]

Early results; Raise Every Hand project

Friday, March 19th, 2010

My first attempt at the new project.

213 hands, VPIP of 71.4, PFR of 69, (keeping in mind this is Full Ring RushPoker, so every table has 9 players at it) minus 120 bb/100 loss rate. I think that I can get that down a bit. Or up a bit, depending on how you look at [...]

New Rush Poker project; Raise Everything

Thursday, March 18th, 2010

‘K, starting a new project. Probably a short one. Playing on Rush Poker.
Rules:

I have to Open raise every hand from every position
Iso-raise any limp or limpers at every opportunity
3-bet in position often
Squeeze often from the blinds

So my VPIP should be 90% or so (which is why Rush Poker lends itself to this project) except for [...]

Not much to add. Still playing Rush Poker, still playing 10nl, still watching Inuyasha at the same time. By the time I get through all the videos it’ll be time for us to head out of town where I’ll have limited internet access.
I could have collected my graph but now I’m at a different computer [...]

Betting draws, against betting draws

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

Here’s a hand that I enjoyed.
This is still Rush Poker, $10nl, played while watching more Inuyasha that I’ve been hooked on lately.
87s, a little loose from this far out but I like this range of non-gapped suited connectors. I open, get called.
Flop is not great; I have a gutter but there’s a flush draw and [...]

Playing a Deuces Cracked instructor

Saturday, February 13th, 2010

Out of circumstance, I’m back at 10nl Rush Poker again.
It’s just so convenient for someone like me that has a hard time clearing time to play, and I’ve been running bad at 25nl for long enough that it’s easier to play 10nl.
One interesting hand the other night.
Player raises, and I recognize him as an instructor [...]

Monday, February 8th, 2010

Well, this was a nice surprise.
I’m about to give up on Rush Poker as I’ve been running poorly again, running into another TT set, and then in one session QQ runs into AA twice and then AK in the small blind runs into AA in the big blind.
I still made two targets. One is still [...]

Saturday, February 6th, 2010

Well, some of the rush has worn off Rush Poker, at least for me.
But it’s still all that I’m playing these days, mainly because of the convenience factor. I can play just one table of $25nl FR without getting bored, while not being challenged enough that I can still watch television with the family or [...]

I like to post hands that are weird or bad.
These are from Rush Poker. First hand I fold the flop but went back to the hand history to see what happened.

Awful raise preflop with AK, then what’s with the bet into 3 others from the limp-caller? Pots the flop, pots the turn? Maybe he’s a [...]

More Rush Poker

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

I’ve barely been working on my rampage project at all; too much time taken up still playing Rush Poker. I have no idea how many hands in total I’ve played now, but apparently I’ve made over 1,500 FTP points in just over a week which is pretty close to the total that I’ve earned in [...]

Rush Poker

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

Yeah, so at the moment I’m hooked on Rush Poker at Full Tilt. Or Crack Poker, which seems to be a popular slang name for it, and an apt one, I think.
Last night, second night of playing, I think I got in 1,300 hands or something, on top of the 700 from the first night. [...]
