**** poker.

cool hand.... That said I've seen you make worst plays than this one .....

AJ is only a drawing hand. I rather have deuces

Hey guys, I'm just wondering if any of you know how long your able to sit out of a rush game, while still maintaining the same stack size you sat out with. Because sometimes I build up some stacks of 200bb or more then I gotta go eat dinner and have to quit my session.

If I could sit out and then come back like 45 mins later and still be able to jump in with the same stack sizes I built before, that would be sweet imo. Anyone know? Thanks

pretty sure they log you off after a certain point, but I'm not sure how long it is.

I make spewtard plays all the time, so it doesn't help when I lose with the nuts 5 times in a session dammit.

Shocker, when I do this they typically have 44 or something. I recall that notable fellow Barney Boatman winning a stack of me with that very play. Expert.

you have exactly 60 minutes before they auto-boot you

Okay well, I've been playing rush for a little while now. I think I have a decent sample there now. But now I'm at a point where I'm trying to be honest with myself and debating why I should choose to play rush instead of reg.... So I'm just curious can some of you guys chyme in on what are your reasons for choosing to play rush instead of reg games, aside from the obvious reason of more hands per hour/more rakeback?

Oh and also, on another note have any of you guys noticed a significant reduction on your rakeback since the black card changes, or is it minor? I haven't played enough hands since the change yet to really notice a difference.
Thanks

my biggest plusses are:

-PTR doesn't track
-can sit out/sit in instantly whenever you want
-easy to get deep and take advantage vs. fish

main draw for me is how easy it is to start/end/take a break in sessions. i also like only have 4-6 tables up instead of 16 just for screen clutter.

it depends on your play style. some nits have taken it in the ass hard. some really lagy regs are getting a little more.

I agree with the last two advantages... But I think ptr not tracking is a disadvantage. One can't be in the race to win a ugl badge at rush games and can't really gain popularity among other poker players as easily. Not that I care about these things. But I'm sure a lot of people do... Just sayin

yeah because ptr is just amazing for the games, too bad we can't have popularity contests if it's gone

...I just want to be one of the cool kids

Why I play rush :

- high volume on 4 tabling
- pause at anytime --> no real tilt issues, nor pee bottle,....
- playing really deep (my ptb/100 is muuuuch higher when I filter 250BB+ stacks)
- Lots of rush regs have pretty unbalanced ranges in certain spots due to quick-fold button
- I find the games really soft, but haven't played reg since january, and never at 400NL, so just dunno if reg>rush from that prospect.

I only wish they allow to buy-in for 200BB right away.... Would be soooo awesome.

Advantages for me

Hands per hour only 4 tabling - As an older person 6 tables of 6 max was probably too much for me this is much better.

Dont have to game select just jump in

Disadvantages for me

When I played 6 max I was very much a game select bum hunter going after loose players so I am not as good at identifying leaks in the regs and taking advantage.

Again with the 6 max background I am still a bit of a calling station and find it hard to find the fold button which you need to do in Rush.

Through 300k hands a 100NL because of both of the above and also overuse of the quickfold button in the blinds I am am a slightly losing player I think 0.3 bb which I guess is a pretty big disadvantage.

I'm still not settled on a profitable way of playing and am trying out different styles at the minute and seeing what happens.

Agree w JIj. I've said it before, but I think rush is slightly softer than a regular table. More often than not, the seat that opens up on a regular table is the one that is to the right of the table lagtard who is 3 betting all the time. Also, I think Rush puts a premium on identifying table situations quickly, and I find that more challenging.
