Gonna Quit rush if 6 max is more lucrative (see first post on this page).

Looks like FH to me but the check on the river is odd. I would expect him to bet a FH and not and check raise. Its a touch one because there is no kicker issues if he doesn't have a FH so i'm probably 50/50 on c or f.

Thx for the replies so far. I did also fold the hand. Seemed like the nuts to me.
I'm running a lot better on normal 6max than on rush. At least on nl100 rush they it's hard to stack someone without a setup. There are lots of weak players but it's hard to get paid off when you have a set, cause a c/r will earn you so much folds. Most ppl even fold two pair vs a flop raise.

Instead of playing Rush I'd better watch Rush Hour


Normal tables rock


Gonna have more time to play the next days.

My Poker history
- Started playing poker in 2007 (wish I had earlier) with $50 and then grinded it up to NL100.
- I didn't play poker that serious until now.
- Last year I was at NL200 but dropped a lot and cashed out.
- Now I'm doing some BRB to get up to NL200 again.
- I need to cash out frequently since I'm studying

Best of luck OP! I recently started a goals thread myself, I am just starting out taking things seriously. I made a very small deposit and started at 2nl 6max, and now I have about 35k hands in at 5nl rush 6max. So far I like rush (mostly because of increased hands/hr and all the spoils that come with that). Hope rush starts to work out for you!

Today was a really swingy day. Lost in ugly spots with AA vs runner runner flush and ran multiple times into AA. It was up and down at the 6max tables so I tried to play a little rush. Got a some luck on my side and won a ~200bb pot. That one saved my day

6max


Rush

Happy St Nicholas' Day


Heya it's time for a small update:
I'm running at 1bb/100 at rush and way way better at the normal tables.
I dunno if I should switch completely, maybe I'll give it a try for some more hands. It would be easier if Rush wouldn't be so damn swingy. Your winnings can be crushed within a few sessions of running bad.

Atm I'm preparing a new HUD for the Ultimate 6 max grinding experience hehe.

Graph from today (95% rush and the last hands are normal tables):

Another 10 Stacks drop in Rush Poker, how am I supposed to win with good hands?

KK < 62o PF !!! lol
AA < 42s runner runner straight
AA < 68s hitting gs
66 < 55 flopped set vs oesd hitting

And the best one:
500bb pot
3way PF allin

Hero AA
Villain 1 KK
Villain 2 88

Flop 333
Turn 8
River blank

Now I got enough from this ****** rush poker. That's the most terrible invention ever. The opponents are dumb as hell but I can't win there. Played 65k hands now and lost 2 Stacks. With rakeback I'm up but w/e.

Going back to the normal tables.
