I think I am in until 9pm. Then I am going to play my normal stakes so I can win some better money.

I can't wait till they bring tournaments, I seemed to do better in those.

OK, about 190 hands an hour. But, I wasn't really pushing it.

Best hand? Easily the one where I turned my JJ into a big bluff on the river with an A-x-x-x-x board, after player showed weakness, and got snap called. I was kicking myself for driving my own bus to value-town. Until he didn't show immediately. And, then ended up mucking. He had soul-read me and called with 99.

I would love to pretend it was just me making an awesome value-bet. It wasn't. I just suck and got lucky.

man the omaha table (10PL) is sooooo full of donkey's it is unbelievable. sadly, they also know how to get lucky on the river. they also seem to like to go all in or bet pot as much as possible.

Once they work the kinks out will higher stakes be available, why isn't it already?

couple things ive noticed:

  • the fold/check button doesnt work as noted^
  • the sit out next hand tab can only be minimized for 1 hand since you change tables every time. it pops back up after every hand. this is annoying. please fix!
  • sometimes after showdown, you will be on the same table as the person that you were in showdown with. neither player changes tables. i have seen this multiple times but dont think it's EVERY showdown. seems like everyone should be FORCED to change tables after each hand, win/showdown or fold.
  • fold to any bet doesnt actually fold you instantly. it is faster to just fold now. either remove the box or make it another fold instantly prompt. i click it out of habit and havent adjusted yet so it's annoying me :D

This seems a lot slower than Rush. I was playing with a pool of 60-65 players. Maybe it's because there aren't hundreds of players like Rush used to have. .
Rush tables aren't as fast as they used to be (at least not at peak times).

Just tried 15mins. on 'Zone'. WoW! Limp/call 4bet w Q4s utg > donkleads 2x pot w FD & calls shove vs KK top set 'nh' lol (they are NUTS!)

Okay. I love this.

So many hands per hour. I never really played rush poker on FTP pre-black friday I don't think.

A lot of very bad play in here. Some player literally just open-shoved for $5 on 10nl with Q3. Just be patient and wait for them to pay you off

Can't steal at this game someone seems to always call

You can steal - if you are willing to triple barrel.

What I have noticed is people will literally hold on to any draw possible until the river. Gutshots, OESD, FD (4-high), even 2 overs.

The players on $5 NL and $10 NL are just awful (for the most part). It is rush poker, and they defend their blinds with rags, and don't like to fold much. They could just make a prudent decision to fold, and move on.... But nooooo.

As for today, I just jam all in with A-A (I have had it like 10 times today). I always get a call. Hands like K-J, K-Q, A-K, even small pairs and connectors... I can't believe what people will call with.

Most recently, a guy snap-called $7+ preflop (he raised to 17cents), with A-Ko. $5 NL.... I don't think A-K is an automatic call all-in preflop (I think everyone overplays the crap out of A-K). But I was pleased to be called by a hand that is dominated so badly by A-A. I won.

This is such a juicy game. I like it. I am going to continue to play zone.

OK,

I just put in a small session at 10nl. This isn't bad, but there are a few things that bother me.
First, why only one table? I am a real degenerate. I used to play 3-4 tables of Rush back when I had that available to me. My one table session was about 205 hands/hour. I can four table regular 6-max and get 350-400 hands/hour pretty easily."

I was able to multi-table, the Zone poker, I was in just in two different limits, I will try again and It should allow two table( or more) of the same limit, as it is a different Pool of players.
