| Why are you even calling the .10? It's rush poker, you don't have any reads on anyone. And you are not going to flop enough flushes or straights to make calling there oop profitable. Not sure how they are playing at 5nl rush. But it's usually pretty safe to assume there is an over pair in someones hand. So being OOP with TP ok kicker is a fold pre flop. If you are going to call there. You should have lead out, sand372 could have been just making a standard C bet. rj25123 is probably on a draw or has A high or something. He just flatted the raise preflop, and he's flatting again, so he doesn't have a huge hand. Again, you are out of position with a small pot hand and the pot is getting rather large. You have no reads due to it being rush poker, calling here, there is a lot of scary cards to that can hit the turn, then you really don't have a clue where you are in the hand. So I think it's just a fold here. If this was regular NLHE I would be calling there like you did, depending on the villains and my table. But in rush poker, that's a fold preflop. |

Not OOP. Only hands that are going to calling him is hands that are beating his range. OOP that is a terrible move. |

I'm guessing you don't understand how terrabad that statement was? Fwiw, big hands want big pots. Small hands want small pots. A fundamental rule in poker. However, we can play our trash and weak hands aggressively, because we can fold out better hands and also because we know when we get a lot of action it's an easy fold. Medium hands need to be played carefully, control the pot, don't boat it. Try and get them to showdown. |

| rush poker is a whole different game and needs to be played different usually the sneaky hands like 34 suited are the ones to win in this game if you know how to play them, and these guys up top of me are the ones who are going to pay you off with thier to pairs two your sneaky two pair |

| The thing is, if you are going to play a hand like JTs OOP, you cant fold to the first bet postflop, especially when you hold TPTK and a BD straight draw! I dont think you are in great shape postflp, i mean if theer was a FD on and the pot suddenly got big, would you think you had the best hand? So the reason we arent playing hands like this OOP is to avoid situations like this. Quote:
This is why fold equity is low in these games, because people arent adgusting their range postflop. Preflop they tighten up, but postflop if they hit, they dont have a lower end of their range because they are using their 6-max or FR post flop ranges but are just folding tonnes preflop. So this is why we have to avoid hands like this OOP. Because our most likely hand is TPGK and if we dont feel comfortable calling a bet with our most likely hand then we should not be playing it. |

| I'm not a plan of playing a speculative hand OOP after a preflop raise- but you were priced in and the .05/.10 make pretty loose calls, so no harm there. After the flop, I definitely would have tested the waters with a .25 bet- OOP it's the only way you can get a little info on your opponent. |

There is a middle position raise and a button call. How can we be certain that the pot will be large if we hit our hand? Where is the show of strength? We are over-calling OOP against a weak range with a hand we arent happy with if we hit TPGK with villians whom we have no reads on. So why are we priced in? |
