I hardly ever play internet poker anymore but has anyone else noticed that "rushes" almost never occur in internet limit poker. By a rush I mean maybe winning 3 or more hands in a row. That happens in live poker occasionally but almost never in internet poker. Does this make you suspicious?

Most very good internet player know that you cant win 3 times in a row, I once saw ultimatedonkkiller (best .5/1 player on stars) fold AA as he just won 2 hand in a row

People such as OP come in here with the best of intentions (usually) and end up looking like idiots. I really feel for them sometimes.

Basically the pros multitable so they get 2 winning hands at their normal limit say 5/10 but they also have one 1c/2c table open so they can time it to play their third hand on that table. That way they get their wins at the big table and their losses at the smaller stakes.

I seen a guy win 3 in a row one time and immediately everyone else got up and left the table. Must of thought him a superuser or something. So then it was just he and I heads up. I swear, we played for 3 hours straight, not a single other person set at our table. But here is the funny thing, neither one of us ever even won TWO hands straight. Weird, he would win one, then I would win one, then he, then I, etc.

Have you ever won 3 pots in a row in internet limit poker. Not including pots you've might have won by bluffing. I'm talking about pots where you had the best hand 3 times in a row at showdown.

Yes, I have won three consecutive pots at showdown in limit poker.

I have done this in Hold'em, Stud and Razz.

Are you serious? I'm new to this poker chat, but I did play a lot of live poker back in the 80's. People who don't play much live poker probably don't really know what a real rush is like.

But I must admit the first time I ever played on Party Poker when it was legal I got unbelievable cards. I think I got four of a kind twice in the 1st 15 hands.

I believe that it is so self-evidently absurd to believe that NO ONE has ever won three hands in a row in limit poker that this cannot possibly be a level.

I genuinely think it is such a silly notion that it cannot be made up, and that OP genuinely believes this.

4 to 10 players. It happened on different occasions in different games.
