Lose a 700bb pot when you mean to fold the flop but somehow double-misclick potted?

No problem.

This feels like the old Party Poker days at lower stakes.

LOL, std 4-way all in

Yes, your hand has more equity than 99% of the other possible hands against you. Be advised it is not like holdem where your preflop equity is from 78 to 82%. Your equity range preflop is no lower than 49% and usually around 60-65%.

Basically right except the big blind is paid by the person at the table who has gone the longest amount of time without having paid it. The other 8 people are randomly assigned their position, including the small blind. So if you are not the "longest time" person / big blind, then you have a 1 in 8 chance of paying small blind each and every time, just as you have a 1 in 8 chance of being the button, cutoff, etc. In the long run, the amount of times you are in a non-big blind position will even out. But the percent of time you pay the big blind will be more often than 1 every 9 hands if you are slower than the average player and less often than 1 every 9 hands if you are faster than average. By slower and faster I mean the amount of time between hands dealt to you. You always start by paying the big blind. It creates incentive for the players to be aligned with the poker room's interest in generating as much rake as possible, for the faster you go, the more rake is generated, AND the less you pay in big blinds for the number of hands you see.

I am uh, loving this so far.

- way below my normal stakes so no tilt factor
- people play super straightforward since why bother spending time on a marginal decision
- people stack off uber light
- i can nit it up and feel not the slightest bit of remorse
- i can gamble it up and feel not the slightest bit of remorse
- if you're good at 6 max PLO it doesn't feel like much of an adjustment to 9 max rush

+5 BI in 250 hands so far lol

Can u read my mind?

Hahahaha.

I can't ever see this becoming more than anything but a fun diversion for me, but I have to admit, it is really addictive. Definitely not what we want with poker legislation looming I can see how it's super attractive to fish and rakeback grinders (if they ever offer more than $25 plo) or simply the unimaginative who just want to play their own cards.

Hmm, actually, now that I think about it some more, it's actually a pretty decent way to teach yourself preflop hand selection and I could see coaches using it as a teaching tool for their students simply because you can get SO many hands in in such a short amount of time.

Yeah preflop is super accentuated in rush, as bad postflop spots are often gonna stem from some significant preflop error. I agree that would make a great preflop plo litmus test or starting hand training tool.

Sounds very nice

If his hand is dry, what exactly is the buttons hand? An Oasis of equity?

Looks like he got it in goot to me. Run better imo.

his hand is dry, that's a fact it's nothing more than aces. standard all in pre with the AAxx btw

and down almost 20 stacks. loving this so far it's nice to be flipping for 600-700bbs pots and lose them all thank god is only cheeseburgers.

8.5$ rake seriously?gl playing that without rakeback:P

I love Rush omaha! Brutal beat just now i put on someone. Had a feeling he might have had kings. Only thing people limp rr with that early and me have most the aces in the deck. Not sure what SB was raising with lol.

Graph for today as well. Rush poker for president!

I'VE NEVER ****ING FELT SO ALIVE

Is that rake just HEM messing up or something? FT state that the max rake in a .10 .25 plo game is $3 per pot, unless they're raking rush higher, which would suck.

Just HEM messing up:

Total pot = $166.30

55.58+5.07+102.65 = $163.30

Awesome.

My exams finish today, so after I recover from tonight's drinking session I think I'll deposit on FT and have a splash on this.

How degen are you guys? I put in 3k hands tonight at full ring pretty easily 4-tabling haha. Ran about 2 BI's over EV and pulled in 11 BI's overall...

Exact numbers:

Hands: 3021
$ Won: $275.25
bb/100: 36.44

Made another 1.5 BI's or so in rakeback too I think.

When are they gonna offer PLO8 rush, I wonder? Talk about a game tailor made for it... you're correct to play squeaky tight preflop and there's a lot of easy decisions when you flop well postflop.

I thought about this. Might be fun but you would need lots of bad players with no clue (which I'm not sure PLO8 has?), otherwise wouldn't you see just a bunch A2xx type hands being played.

on the rush today..

You'd think that, but micro limit PLO8 is ridiculously bad. Players have less of a clue than in regular PLO postflop and regularly get it in with naked non nutlow draws / no high hand , that kind of thing. If you follow a few simple rules I'm fairly confident it'd be pretty easy to smash rush PLO8 given the playerpool. Now they just have to offer it.
