I'm loving Rush Poker. I was a cash game fish, and then I played thousands upon thousands of hands at Rush.

Lost $100 before I got my fundamentals worked out, but damn I'm crushing the tables now. I'm up around the neighborhood of $80, and I don't even need a HUD to do it. Eat that expired PT3 trial.

Although I couldn't imagine doing this without Rakeback. Seriously, when you're doing 1k hands/hour, that adds up pretty quickly. Adds like another 50% to my win rate. And now we've got Rush Week. Life is good.

I've upped my daily volume from 1k hands to 2.5kish so I can hit that silver status. Gonna get me that extra $50, woot woot. Heck, at the end of this week I'll probably be rolled for the next level.

This sounds like a late night infomercial. Like something that should be played on Comedy central at 3 in the morning, right after the Girls gone wild commercials.

[ ] being up $80 after a few k hands = crushing the game

on topic: I don't like rush poker. The games become a nit fest and everybody ist just nut pedaling. Fish go broke sooner and the games will dry up faster then the 200-400NL dried up.
In the end it will be just regulars / rakeback pros trading their blinds back and forth...

Thanks to whoever bumped this thread. I gave rush a real go instead of a tilty steam of some chips.

All you guys who think it is a nit fest should do some research. I hate getting involved in big pots in rush, cause there is always a decent chance the other guy has aces or trips. So i'm pretty laggy in rush. Way to play i think.

And the fish still play bad. You can abuse your edge pre flop. The fish still can't seem to throw away king rag. Especially when you make them think they can shove you off your hand.

Rush rocks!

They have a 25c/50c 6max game that runs pretty much continuously. Also, there is a 50c/$1 full ring game that goes usually during peak times but has been continuous this week. Finally, there's a 1/2 6max game that rarely goes but has been going a bit this week.

While you complain, I'm having a blast. It's been a fun mixup imo.
