I find nothing but TAG's when I play. It seems the only hands people play on there are strong Aces and PP's.

Well if all they play are Ax hands and pocket pairs you should be able to steal the blinds relentlessly.

No, at least one person at the table usually has such a hand, so there is either a raise in front of me or one of the blinds has such a hand and 3-bets me.

They have a hand at the same frequency as a normal table

Most games are profitable you just have to figure out how to exploit it. It may not be profitable to play TAG, but I've had great success with a LAG approach just put everyone in tough spots all the time. Nobody wants to stack off with less than a set anymore

I've been crushing RUSH over the past 3 months and 235k hands.

Well, by crushing, I guess I mean that I'm beating it for 1.2 bb/100.

Well, actually, HEM says that's my EV adjusted bb/100. It looks like I'm actually 0.2 bb/100 loser over this stretch.

Oh, and I guess I should mention this is 5NL Rush.

Hmmm, this post isn't turning out the way I envisioned it. But I have paid over $800 in rake. That's a nice number ... right?

yes it is profitable, I love it. I'm beating 50NL for 2 ptbb/100 while getting 1200 hands/hr. It just took some adjustments (and a HUD and constant note taking). 330K hands. I also got my ass handed to me while I was making adjustments. I blew through 23 buyins in a weekend. It was worth it now but that first period was rough.

i played it for a few days only like 5k hands just to see what it was like. I feel it's def beatable but i felt that playing 9 tables was more profitable even with less hands/hr
