I have to look at this one ’cause I don’t know why he doesn’t call this. Flop pot is 0.75, he bets .50, I call. On the turn the pot is 1.75, he bets .95, I raise to 1.90, he raises to 5.00. Pot is now 8.65, to call I have to put in 2.20 [...]
A while back I made a conscious change in my Rush Poker game. I know that I’m better than most players at $10nl Rush simply because 1) my total bankroll of winnings would allow me to play, eh, maybe $50nl Rush if I wanted to, but I don’t have a lot of the bankroll on [...]
This happens when you’re not paying attention. I raise KK, then look back to see “all in”. I assume that I’ve bet into a short stack who has shoved so I call. Then when I look back at this table as the flop comes I wonder why I have no chips left. My first thought [...]
You can’t do that when you’re deep! Awful flop for overpairs, but still, I don’t like his 3 bet on the flop. I’ve got 48 hands on him so if he uses a tracker then he has the equivalent on me, but I’m not overly aggressive postflop other than continuation betting. This deep, I think [...]
Always gotta post the interesting ones. Almost no hands, but he does know how to 3 bet. I flat because no matter what his style I’m way ahead of his 3 bet range. Yucky flop, but if he’s got AK I’m ahead so I just call. Yuckier turn, but it still could be a medium [...]
Some very general observations from $10nl FR Rush as I start to grind it again: Somewhere there’s got to be a bot strategy floating around for 40 bb stacks, or, these are actual bots, ’cause I run across this particular type of player all the time. Characterized by: Weird stats of 12/11 with steal of [...]
Rush again. Again just posting the weird hands. Not many hands on this guy, I figure QTs is good enough for an iso-raise from the button. He calls. I flop top pair, he check/calls. Ace comes but gives me a flush draw so I bet again and he calls. If he paired the ten or [...]
Still more Rush. Maybe I’m actually gearing up to play poker again. SB is aggressive but I only have like 8 hands so far on him. AQ is ahead of his raising range and it’s vulnerable so I 3 bet. But is AQ ahead of his 4 bet range? Next hand, this isn’t a great [...]
So I’m actually playing some poker during the past few days, though it’s pretty much all still Rush poker. The convenience just hooks me. Actually getting close to earning the $100 target that I set before moving to $25nl, but I dunno; it’s like it’s not real so I don’t feel as if I’m keeping [...]
Not much playing, not much mental focus. I did donk a $2.20 180 seat turbo. Took 1.5 hours or something, most of which I played while re-typing something that needed to be done. Finished second for $74. Sadly, that’s like my biggest poker accomplishment of the summer. But I had to post this hand. I’ve [...]
Maybe it’s sad to poke fun, but: This is one of those 5 FTP Rush Super Turbo tournaments. I’m happily playing along while checking my Lexulous games on Facebook. Button minraises, we both have stacked up and have some chips so I call. Flop bet is not only weak, the flop is pretty dead so [...]
I was wrong; I went back and checked my Rush promo page and it said 70 points. I must have been playing through some bonus hour on Tilt to get 100 FTPs and only 70 points for the promo. So I opened three tables of $10nl Rush to finish the 30 points. That took another [...]
Finished my first day of the Rush Poker Week. Started with two instances of $10nl FR, then found it slow so I started a 3rd one but the problem was that they overlapped too much, especially as I was also tracking my FTP points at the bottom of my screen. As a result I didn’t [...]
Summer seems to be my time of non-grinding at the poker tables. In 2008 Full Tilt introduced the Super Turbos and I got hooked on those for a while, returning to cash games as a short stacker. In 2009 I interrupted my multi-tabling grind by trying to build a bankroll at Party Poker with a [...]
Update, just to update. I’ve played very little cash games in the past few weeks, other than some $10nl FR Rush poker when I feel like donking around. Like the other day a bunch of people that I know were at a $10 FR deep table at Tilt, and even though there was some chatter [...]
Not much playing time lately, which means mostly Rush Poker. Still on the first part of the project of getting $100 at $10nl. After 4 sessions: 20.39 bb/100 over 1947 hands = $39.69 VPIP 18.2, PFR 14.0; I didn’t realize I was playing so LAGgy even that loose my PfPA is 7.04, meaning I’m raising [...]
I still haven’t kicked the Rush (crack) Poker habit. It got re-started when I did a few sessions trying to record a video to demonstrate some poker basics. I used Rush Poker because of it’s simple “in a vacuum” with no reads situation. The convenience of not having to wait on tables, the simplicity of [...]
No poker yesterday due to busy-ness, and very little the night before because Stars and HEM are not working together since the change of the tables/hand history writing of Stars. I probably had an up session that night anyway due to a player calling my EP PFR with AQs, and then check/calling all three streets [...]
14.08/12.9, 9.47, 14.08 bb/100, over 409 hands. It started out rough. I felt like I had too many tables running at first, and I was getting played back at quite a bit. The only thing that really saved the session was stacking one player mid-session, otherwise I’d have been down. This is different than the [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
‘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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
