Any Rush grinders?

Hi,

I had a few hours multi-tabling rush today, mainly with it being happy hour, and it ended up being quite a profitable session.

Just wondering if any of you play Rush of standard cash games and how you get on?

Cheers,
Marc

I played about 100k of rush in about 2 months. Which is a small grind. There were certainly pros and cons. I played 6 tables a bit and got in 2k hands an hour, which is pretty sick. I loved being able to just open up 4 tables and comfortably get in the same amount of hands where I normally have to have 24 open. Very relaxing. But, it does feel very grindy, and I hate not being able to use my skills very well with game flo, etc.

But, a very fun game nonetheless.

Just starting to grind at the $4.40 - 135 person MTT. Only about 7 or so games into it but showing a profit so far. I hope to have a good number to pool from soon and we will see if it's profitable in the long run.

Rush is all I play nowadays. Had about $30 in my account in april from UK and CC FRs and some light sng play. Take 2 came around in April and people were saying about how easy it was to clear the bonus there. Cleared my $50 and never looked back.

Been playing as my main game since, with some slight dabbles in non rush 6max and fr. But I preferred rush and seemed to win way more there, moved up to 10nl and yesterday took my first shot at 25nl, won two buyins and won a further 5 more today.

Personally it is the best and profitable way to play poker.

Any Q's hit me up.

I played couple hours one day and did quite well at 10nl. But I usually play regular 6 max but I have hit a real bad streak lately losing most my profits I thinking of switching to rush for a change of pace. But rush really takes a lot out of me when multitabling. If I can expect same profits I had that day i played it prolly be worth it. How r the swings in rush?

My greatest leaps forward in BR have been from Rush Poker. I used to always SNG but as sson as I realised I could be impatient, ive forgotten how to.

Swings are gonna be magnified because of how many hands your playing, for most people it's a lot more than normal.

Provided you don't tilt this shouldn't be an issue. However if you tilt bad stay away.

I played a little today. Lost 4 dollars at normal microstakes tables cose i am not that patient because i am ussualy a SNG player. I tryied to protect my hand but some of their draws completed on the river.
So i went to rush and made my money back and some change. It is an easy way to grind playing only made hands. You can speculate almost anything.
But as an advice for microstakes rush players. Never go all in preflop without KK or AA.
Hands that u are unsure of fold them.
There will be a lot of other hands where you can take entire stacks down.

The obvious thing i saw is that you cannot learn almost anything. If you are a tight player that plays only safe hands you will grind but you will no learn almost anything about the post flop play.
Most of the time is showdown when a hand is actually played.

One thing i cannot understand is how can some guys multitable I just manage to press the quick fold button at one table cose 95% of the hands are garbage out of position.

I will try to play at higher stacks when my BR will permit to see if it is the same thing.
