If this ever happens at Stars, I'll be a 300k VPP Supernova by the end of the year.

amen.

I run good:

Yeah I hope so too... I think it will attract fish from many other sites though who will want to try it out, especially since swapping funds between sites can be done with relative ease.

how much do you think ftp is making off the rake on 25nl per hour? cause that obviously seems to be the reason why they would create something like this.

Wow, this is so amazing! LOL

If this game stays this easy I am thinking $100/hour with rakeback 4 tabling 50NL is quite possible. The rake at 100NL for 4 tabling should be around $30/hour!

I just hit several coolers in a row and I am still up $100 an hour with rakeback playing 4 tables at 50nl.

This is so easy it is ridiculous.

Yeah I'm definitely creating an account and depositing when I get home rofl...

dont worry, your downswing is coming soon

lol @ noobs thinking that a heater lasts forever

this

I was 4tabling the 50nl for 5k hands, getting about 1000 hands/hr, rakeback hourly was $11

You'd have to run at like 9ptbb/100 to accomplish this.

I definitely think 50-75/hr is possible for you 50nl players, 100 over the long run no. I'm too tired but I'm gonna hit up the 100nl tables tmrw and we'll see if they release 200++

I just realised, I put in 2k hands last night at 50NL, and got nearly a BI back in rakeback. This is insane, was up nearly 4BI before losing QQ < AA, and then my internet disconnected twice, once when someone 5bet me in the blinds w/QQ, and another when I was c/r w/TT on a KT68hhcc board, after I had put about a BI in the pot overall, they obviously had AA and 97, so gg I guess.

My love and motivation for playing Poker is returning!

Not to pour cold water on this, but dont you guys think that Rush Poker will hurt your game in general?

I've played it and lost 2 BI's, and I don't like it.
I prefer read dependent game than this.

It may hurt your game but only if you don't adjust when you sit down at a regular table again.

You might try Omaha for a couple of weeks then go back to NLHE and if you're still playing the same way you'll get slaughtered. Same idea here imo.

It's a different type of the same game where you apply a different strategy in order to win.

Besides that it's also new and that means that a lot of people are going to be trying it out -> more fishes and profit to be made now. If in a couple of weeks you feel it's destroying your game and not as profitable then just go back to regular grinding.
Don't forget they have 100 NL rush tables. If you're doing well on those I can see it being as profitable as 6 tabling 200 NL easily lol.

The say Poker is a game of luck and skill.

Rush Poker is pure luck.

Dont understand all the hype about it. Its readless gambling and has nothing to do with serious poker. Game dynamics, metagame, developing reads?
Forget it.

Maybe I am too old school, but I am not a big fan of it so far.

You could teach a monkey to play only AA and KK, and the monkey would beat the game.

So you don't want to play rush poker because it's too easy?

This is real money we're talking about and if playing ABC poker at rush tables is more profitable than concentrating hard and developing reads etc on normal money tables then what do you think most players would rather?

Especially over the short term when it's just come out (milk it dry now before others do!).

It might be profitable in the short run, because its new and people want to try it out.

We will see how it develops in the long run.

I am going to give it another try later today, maybe I will get all addicted

the amount of c/ring on flops, floating flop/turns on every low board, and calling down with 2nd/3rd pair from these fish sure sucks when you're on the other side of variance ;/

dont understand why anyone would play super crazy tight. you still have to play blinds. all it is is a 6max cash game vs. unknowns. it also won't dry up as fast as people think, because regs cant saturate the pool the same way they can in a normal cash structure. you can only take up one spot in a pool as opposed to 12 or 16 or whatever. there are more fish than regs in normal small stakes cash games if you only count real people.

lol, stop c-betting if they always call?

more on topic- I think the people who don't like this idea are the ones who think they're beating 25 or 50NL because THEY are really good (or ok at least). They think it's because of their game selection and reads and whatever.

I LOVE the idea, because I beat the games because my opponents are bad and make mistakes, not because I'm good (because I am definantly not lol). Any game that is going to attract more bad players AND even out the play against regs is something that sounds great to me. I was just playing a reg-war battle against a guy who was playing at me ever time we took a flop together and thinking that I would have to get it in lighter here then usual to make him back off a bit and he showed an overpair and I said "damn, I wish i had a RB account on FT!"


--- A question for you guys... it seems like one of the main advantages of 6-max (more hands per table) actually gets reversed by this since the BB is the biggest time consumer and you would be in it less in FR. Also paying less blinds per hand could help if people really are getting it in super light. If FT comes through with RB- maybe FR is the way to go?

heh it was just a session i put in instead of going to sleep, like i said just some variance as to my other seshes

im assuming your stack follows you, and doesnt reset to 100 bb's?

Correct, I had over a 5 buy in stack at each table I was playing last night and it was not uncommon to see bigger stacks. That is the really interesting dynamic of it. I seen at 25NL there was a couple stacks over 300.

I think its insanely profitable but right now I don't care to discuss why I think it is. But I was printing money with no risk at all last night IMO.

and about the Cbetting, looked like my cbets worked about 45% of the time only. honestly the best thing about(and i like PTR) but it can not track these games.

WHy i think this is good is not to save the fishes the embarrassment. It will hide the optimal strat IMO for these until CR or someone comes out with a vid.

Correct. If you get up over your initial BI and want to rathole, you can close the table and hop back in to get your stack reset to 100 bbs.

The biggest stack I saw float across my screen last night at the $25NL tables was around $400. Yikes.
