If the fish use Rush tables to "learn to play", this will be fantastic when they move to normal speed tables.

Meh the reaosn people are fgish is because they don't strive to learn so i doubt it will truly have an effect.

It's more about conditioning and expectations - it's so easy to constantly be in the action using the quick fold button, which will not bode well for them at normal tables. Even the nittier fish (relatively speaking) will become conditioned into play more hands.

Rush is teh nutz. It's pretty funny to all of sudden be in a HU pot vs AEJones or DrGiggy tho. lolz. And it pretty much renders the hud useless...

ya theres so much to think about like is there more value in waiting too see what the action comes to with my 89s in mp or is there more value in just quick folding it to get in more hands per hour I have no idea.

Reading russian SSS forum right now. Some quotes (sorry, but my english sucks):

"They've killed SSS @ FTP "

"I think half of players will leave..."

"It's time to learn CAP"

"I don't understand why are micro-stakers who plays with full stack so glad? Do you realize that some SSS-ers from 200-400nl will come to 25-50nl to play with 100bbs? And with all the skill difference I think you're celebrating too early"

"We'll correct hand-chart to play with 35bb"

"Why learn 100bb game if there's Stars?"

"...it was so easy before - here's the SSer with range XX, I'll let my AQs go. But not anymore - there will still be fishes, but with wrong range estimation full-stackers will lose 35bbs, not 20. That update was bad not only for SSSers, but for us, full-stackers too, as we still aren't "allowed" to play with full pre-flop chart" yeah, I know, looks like garbage. But that site teaches not only SSS, but BSS (big stack strategy) too... and with pre-flop hand chart also

"Next thing will be - do not allow to play with different ranges... Racists!"

about 400nl SSSers skill advantage "The main thing is to make right decisions. What street is it - doesn't matter. If SSSer plays well @ mid-stakes, turn and river play - just a question of time"

"You talk like break-even micro stakes reg. You have no clue if you think that 200nl+ SSSer doesn't know how to play postflop"

"Cashed out everything. We'll be back only if they bring 20bb back"[/B]

aehuaehuaehuaeh nice

couple thoughts on the rush games:

1. people play REALLY bad. like why are people 4bet bluffing me? actually, why are they even 3bet bluffing me? its really weird when someone i've never seen before is 4bet/calling ATo and 44 or 5bet jamming K9o.

2. its almost like a video game to see who can get the high score.

3. why are a bunch of MSNL players grinding out 4 tables of .5/1? i've seen a couple people who have been playing all day.

Probably because it's fast action, suited for action junkie's, like DrGiggy. He already made a post about it in his blog.

Like, rakeback works out to about 1ptbb/100 for me. Given how few regs earn > 3 ptbb, that means rakeback is a huge percentage of almost every regs' earnings

There is pretty much no question that all regs would increase their winrate dramatically if they could somehow avoid all the dick-waving wars with other regs and play only fish. Similarly, most if not all regs would increase their winrates dramatically if they avoided the dick-waving wars (because they just aren't as good at it as they think they are). In both of these respects, rush poker will help them.

someone who 2+2ers is good at poker but doesnt game select from what ive seen. http://www.pokertableratings.com/ful...arch/smart+lag

someone who 2+2ers think is bad but game selects religiously. http://www.pokertableratings.com/ful...search/runner6

take that fwiw. theoretically the first option could be better if the second guy has a really ****ty hourly from having to game select so much but for 6max i think its pretty easy to find a bunch of good tables 24/7. from what i hear HU is very very different story.
