am i the only one who thinks you can play rush poker super profitable if you just try to steal literally every hand? i think you could even minraise and be succesfull a very high % of the time. most ppl will autofold anyways and if someone plays back at you you're almost certain they have a real hand and can fold easily. havent tried it though. thoughts?

Yep I would be interested to see how raising like 5x every hand would work, 3x, 2x, etc. Also FR and 6max would make big difference. And just fold anytime somebody in front of you raises and you have junk, but raise most everything else first in. People also seem to play back at btn/CO raises loose but maybe not other spots? Thoughts? Would be interesting I might have to try a few different tactics out.

Here is the forum. I can't find a thread where they discuss FTP's buyin changes.

saw update this morning b4 school, liked the increase in min bb obv, rush poker sounded like the dumbest thing in the world...that was around 8 am

just got home around 515pm; saw all the ppl saying how fun rush poker is

i guess im in the minority, would hate to see this extend beyond .5/1. This is absolutely not poker, yes it is fun for ****s and giggles, but there is no way this helps the US legalize online poker so FTP is basically increasing their revenue by throwing the US market in the dumps. I dont see how when the ppl advocating against poker present stats in court that display how the majority of players rushed to this new "theory" of poker that basically as they will put it facilitates their "addiction" as they get that rush out of each hand as it is occurring at a much more rapid pace, in theory facilitates the perspective that it is an addiction and gambling (skill is not a dominant factor). I also think this will drastically decrease the fish pool on normal tables as this is more of an adrenaline rush for them. Wish this idea was never conjured up. Their are no reads, its basically just play your hand and wonder if the person is 3betting light, raising light etc.; its just like pulling the lever on the slot machine and hope that you get a good mix of #'s (in essense your hand, and that you luckily got placed at a table where a guy is willing to 3bet his button and 5bet shove over your 4 bet b/c he thinks you're doing it light). Yes, this game could come up with an individual stategy of how to beat it in a mathematical perspective of pf raise sizing (best buy in now seems to be min buy in as ppl wont 3bet you as light pf) and theres very little postflop play (majority is pf, and the other times you reach a flop and usually its just c/f im seeing). just my humble opinion ofcourse. /rant; im sure that just came out as a jumbled super mess as im not gonna look over it all haha and just hope the fish will still decide to play 1/2 than all migrating to .25/.5 RUSHHHHHHHHHHHHH tables

didnt say i hated it. i think turn and river are good cards to fire 3 barrels. obv my hand is very unfortunate for him + almost impossible to put me on AK here.
i just posted it bc few ppl at 100nl 3barrel bluff and it shows his agression at best

Aurora will call with random one pair hands if he thinks you are FOS and he likes to level himself so shoving > calling.

Your giving him better than 8:1 on calling a river shove. Saying he doesn't call with worse is LOL.
