I haven't bothered with Rush poker, to me it seems kind of stupid. From what I've read so far, the way to play this game is basically jam or fold preflop. I believe they started this to try to combat HUDs and tracking software but the tracking software has already adjusted itself to include rush...
Its cool full tilt tries new things, like their HU game but i doubt these things will catch on much.

well, I am thinking more along the lines of --- it was very easy for a bunch of kids to cheat before -- you get a bunch of friends to sit at the same table, start an instant messaging conference and state the cards they hold. wouldn't it be nice to know an extra 10 cards each hand --- ie, you see 2 aces are dead and you hold Kings or Queens? or that a 7 is dead and you hold 77?

this innovation just squashes that if you are in a 400 or 800 player pool.

the minimum buy-in is still healthy vs the blinds -- so you can't jam or fold all that easily. not to mention, you can play tons more hands without having to multi-table and make decisions at the same exact time in totally diff't situations.

I think rush poker is quite good -- though I do prefer live poker still.

I think these series of posts are actually vastly superiour to 99% of poker books. Poker books are just getting kind of long in tooth vs modern playing.

Nate - have you read Aaron Browns book? The Poker Face of Wall Street. He posts over at NP, so I'm curious if you've seen it yet. Amazon just lowered the price to something like $5.

He basically said the exact opposite of BrownsFan. If you do the same thing every time, then you will become predictable and be exploited. But he also only plays high stakes game where the players are constant. At low limits, people generally aren't paying attention and new players come and go - which I guess could make a case for having a consistent strategy for your own sake.

It's an interesting book by a very good trader/poker player if anyone is interested.

i love hold em and play online daily on pokerstars and bodog i love trading too

and yes there is huge similarities between poker and trading and i am sure many have gone through them in this thread but what i fundamentally believe in these two games is

" you play to win chips / money "

what i am essentially saying is there is no need to play every hand but when u get the bullets or a full house or a monster hand on the flop you got to ride it out and make the most of it

other times lesson learnt the hard way is very simple BE PATIENT it will come to u !


have a great week traders and poker aficionados

cheers
