Hey everyone,
I was curious what you feel the differences are between Rush and normal tables for both 6 max and FR specifically the microstakes like NL5 and NL10.

Rush is addictive but at least to me its more "fun" than it is poker. At least in my personal experience Rush is a different game and most of what it takes to be profitable at 5nl rush wont make you to profitable in normal cash games.
Rush is also extremely swingy. I first started playing and was up 50 bucks at 5 nl in 2 sessions, and then over the next week lost most of it back. I finally had to cut myself off and go back to normal games. Took me a week or so of withdrawal but Im back to steady winning and while a lot slower and less exciting than rush its better for my game overall and Im definitely learning more.
Your own experience may be different though.

People are both tighter and looser.
Tighter because people can quick-fold and get better hands to play so they just quick fold a lot of marginal hands, similarly people who know this and want to beat the games will steal a lot more looser especially in later position/s since people fold much more. depends on stakes etc obv
