Disclaimer: There is none. I absolutely guarantee that if you follow the below methodology you will profit over the long haul or I will personally allow a shipment in the amount you lost from your account, to mine. You do have to prove via hand history of course that you followed the methodology prior to me allowing you to ship me $.
But Seriously if you are capable of sticking to the discipline, and this is no easy matter, you will turn a profit.
1. You must play fast, I mean burn through hands as fast as possible. you'll find that you become a folding machine basically. If your vp$ip is over 10% your too loose.
2. The hands you play are not only premium but Specific Premiums in Specific positions.
Positions Defined as EP = SB, BB, UTG
LP = B, CO, CO+1
MP = The Middle 3
3. There are 3 stages to these Rush games: The Heart = From the start until @ 26 remaining
The Transition = From @ 26 left until the Money @ 15
End Game = ITM
4. In the Heart of the Tournament Play:
Tier 1 hands from EP
Tier 1 & 2 hands from MP
Tier 1, 2, & 3 hands from LP
These are Exclusive, Do not play Tier 4 or worse at all in the Heart of the Tournament. (Here Lies The Discipline That will Build you, or Bust you)
General Rules:
keep your bets concistant. My style is to bet pot in these hands, this way I know when I get action its usually not a crap hand.
Never call a bet! This is Rush, your either raising or folding.
you will want to play that AJ off , or that KQ off, or even that 88 from the button, Dont do it. You are burning through a Multi Table Tournament's worth of hands in 90 minutes.
You must value hands more akin to how you would playing PLO. If you do play that 88 and hit your set with the Q83 flop, you will think your golden but in actuality your dead!
UTAG is your new style, Uber Tight Aggressive
5. In the Transition phase of the tournament:
Here is where players take one of two approaches. Myself, like most continue to burn through hands though I loosen up significantly from 18 to 15 to pickup the scared money. Others drag out every hand sitting out and using their clock letting others bust so they can make the bubble. I have tired this in a few games and It will assure you getting itm but your stack is in no position to carry you deeper. I recommend pushing hard and fast here.
6. Now your at the End Game,:
Congratulations, your in the money and you'll see 15, 14, 13, and 12 drop off like they lost all patients and shoved with shit.
From this point on, your playing regular poker. this is where your hours at those single table S&Gs will pay off.
My style is to stay tight and learn the players. At this level there are so many cowboys hopped up on the aggression necessary to get them there and they are still playing crap so that premium hand is now worth so much more. You can now restore your hand valuation back to your comfort zone and basically play your best poker.
The only added advise I would give is to let the lesser players donk themselves off. They will play their KT suited from EP, pair their King on the flop and shove only to see your Big Slick Waiting.
Thank you all for the rails and patients and I hope this approach helps.
Im no Pro but I know what works in these Rush games.
