Nothing like something new to spur new thoughts and revisits to old ones. I’m still on the Rush Poker train, and it’s generating thoughts and questions because of the difference from other online cash games.
Rush Poker moves online poker closer to the experience of video poker because of the anonymity, random seating and the immediate [...]
Apparently this has been brewing for some time. IPoker network, accessed by various poker “skins”, is requiring their skins to remove players who win too much.
Victor Chandler Poker is one of the bigger skins on the IPoker network and recently has been tagged for sending out emails to players on their network who win too [...]
One of the complaints about Rush Poker is the lack of reads on the opponents at your table. Kind of like playing poker blind, or maybe half-blind. Nearsighted without glasses, perhaps. You don’t know if your opponent calls down with any pair, or bets constantly trying to induce folds.
It’s not “real” poker.
One of the complaints [...]
Time for some players stats from my rush poker stats.
Now, something is odd, but so far I can’t figure out what. In the exported data I show me with 16,587 hands while the HEM Report Manager shows 13,145 which I think is accurate. I have around 8,000 hands on Stars during the month, so [...]

I was looking back for some information from the early days of my posting, even before I made this into a blog, and I happened across this post from July of 2007. I’m reposting because I really did have the basics figured out, even then. But back then my problem was really assimilating this information [...]

Some thoughts on small sample sizes.
Generally any HUD stats with hand totals below 40 or so are of questionable value. At least, that used to be the default settings for PokerTracker II which was the first HUD that I used. Personally I have mine appear as soon as I have one hand in the history [...]
