Hey all,

What strategy is best advised for .25/.50 6max RUSH limit? TAG or LAG? I mean,with less reads is the TAG approach best or would it be best to LAG it up or even go passive perhaps?

Thoughts?

More autofolds means laggier

Can you elaborate a bit please?

Do you mean Laggier is a better strategy?

I'd think auto-fold induces a nitty/tight taggy play. LAG would be a better

33/27/15 FTW?

Does PT3 or HM work on Rush games?

the correct rush strategy is to not play at all

HUDs work but I didn't think they were very useful, things just move too fast

Does anyone thing that Stars will create something like Rush Poker? Anyone heard anything?

FTP owns the patent for Rush Poker

Why is rush so bad then may I ask?

The only reason why poker can be profitable is the ability to outwit your opponents by learning their tendencies. After all, everyone is playing the same game and gets dealt the same cards in the long run.

The ability to learn your opponents tendencies and exploit them is greatly diminished by playing RUSH poker because you're rarely playing against the same group of people long enough to make observations.

RUSH poker seems best suited for casual players (fish) who want to have fun playing poker and not get exploited by sharks.

^^nope, poker is profitable because your opponents make mistakes... we dont need to know our opponents to know they make mistakes

Wow that is amazing. I am unable to do that.

I personally need to watch a player. Particularly what they show down with and then replay the hand in my head or later in PT3 to see if they're fishy.

FYI: by tendencies I mean exploitable mistakes that villains repeatedly make.

You make/lose money in poker from two sources, the plays you make (of which opponent specific plays are a small but significant part) and the plays your opponents make.

If you play in games where you and your opponent's play basically the same except for your ability to subtly outwit them on occasion, you will lose because of the rake.

If however you play in a game in your opponents make vast mistakes, but you play a robotic style, you will win because your mistake of not adapting is much smaller then their mistake of playing too many hands or spewing wildly.

Therefore, your opponents mistakes are much more important to your bottom line then your reading ability.

I agree. So, How do you find these opponents that are making vast mistakes? I check the lobby for tables with high VPIP or by scouting for players that I've marked as fish. I don't think that is possible in a RUSH player pool. Is it?

If not, then the default strategy for RUSH would be to presume that at least some of the player pool will be fish and to play basic ABC poker.
