IN!

The fact the micro promo only includes up to 10nl is a joke!

In although I dont think I will play cash with the exception of rush week. Cant hurt to get the run goods amirite?

How many hands? Thats ridiculous.

yeah, i want details, that's pretty incredible

231k

http://www.pokertableratings.com/ult...0-0.25/2010-06

I really dont understand how people can do that. Just move up and own the next level, it cant be that different, unless it was for a bet ofcourse

well maybe there's no reason too if he beats 25nl super hard and maybe like be breakeven or w.e. at 50nl. Im not sure though, I swear I haven't played a hand with him yet lol!

That's a lotta hands and a lotta money.

My aims for July:
- Play 231k hands.
- Make $4.2k.

Just kidding.
I think I'll settle for:
- Have positive winrate at NL10 SH.
- Don't play at all drunk.

100k hands @ 3.0bb/100

you do notice he's playing at 3BB\100... that's not crazy at all... good to know you can make that sum... he's just playing ABC poker en mass

Yeah that's pretty interesting. But he must have played almost non-stop. 231k hands is like 7.7k a day. I seem to remember from my short-stacking days that you can just about get 1k hands an hour with 20ish tables. So he must be putting in pretty long sessions each day to make up those hands.

Mental. He'd probably make more money playing less tables at a higher level?

Sorry if I ever told you to die in a grease fire. Although I surely meant it at the time, I hold no lasting ill will toward you.

WV, you back with us at the fiddy?

Yeah, might be back at the quarter before too long!

I suck.

That's funny. I'm not offended. I was new to the game and was happy to have any strategy that wasn't: "Call, Call, Call... oh I lost". In defence of shorting it is a good way to learn some parts of the game: Patience, Starting Hand Selection, Basic Stats. You get to see plenty of action with minimum exposure.

On the other hand it ruins your game and takes ages to get over cbetting EVERY flop. I'm glad FT and PS changed their buyin rules and forced me to learn short hand. Much more fun.

It's been a long time since I've posted in these threads. Now that I am playing Rush, I can actually play a good amount of hands in a short time. I am setting some modest goals this month:

1. 10K hands (about 20 hours of play for me, don't have much time this month)
2. Break even minimum (earning cash would be nice)
3. Earn bronze during Rush week, and get two payouts from the Deposit bonus, so at least I am making some headway.

i'm getting really close to 6k posts. what should i do to celebrate once i hit it?

a) eat an entire birthday cake
b) go to the moon
c) learn how to breakdance
d) get drunk
e) something else???

C, the answer is always C.

All of the above seems the most logical choice.

gz the regular tables on pokerstars are so slow after playing on FTP. CAN'T STAND IT.

Hard to divide the attentions. Which place gets it, I have a bonus to play through at Reefer and the $1.10 Micromania promo at Pokerstars and the FullTilt Rush promo. Maybe we can accomplish all three this month.

Hello. This might be my first time making a goal for cash game. I have been regrinding my bankroll through sngs and I guess I'll start out playing Rush Poker.
My goal: Profit over 100k hands.

breakdance whilst eating birthday cake!

Get $50 Rush bonus & clear Iron Man $50 bonus at same time
Clear $100 deposit bonus on PS so I can deposit more
Whore myself out to get even more bonuses

Join me for some Rush Limit Holdem some time.

I'm always there! (25/50) (50/1)

1k hands/hr. with 20 tables seems low.

I played 3k hands of rush limit holdem yesterday.
