Rush Poker Strategy Tips - Tight Is Right!
Rush Poker at Full Tilt has taken the online poker world by storm, with fast-paced action and a huge number of recreational players at the table this game can be profitable as well as a little addictive.
Here we give you a quick introduction to Rush Poker and show you a basic, but very profitable, ‘tight is right’ Rush Poker strategy which will have to taking the cash from those inexperienced opponents time and time again. While looser play combined with post-flop hand reading may be more profitable still, this article aims to introduce a basic money making strategy that players at all experience levels can implement right now!
For those who have yet to play, here is an overview of how Rush Poker works. You enter a pool of up to 2000 other players at your chosen table size, game (Holdem or Omaha Poker are available) and buy-in level. You then sit at a table and are dealt a hand as normal. However, as soon as you fold you are moved to a new table with other players from your pool and start a new hand… you only see the remainder of your first hand if you go to showdown with it. This cuts out all of the dead time between hands, especially as you can use a ‘quick fold’ button to muck your hand before the action reaches you. Since you will have no time to wait you can play more than 300 hands per hour - a serious ‘Rush’!
Rush Poker’s nature has some significant effects on your strategy. Since you have no reads on opponents (and they have none on you) every hand is a fresh start. Since it is easy to fold in marginal situations and move on, many players choose to do this. And since this game attracts so many ‘fun’ players at the real-money tables, you need to adjust to their mistakes too.
It is the mistakes of the recreational tables which can make an extra tight rush poker strategy effective. By playing the best hands aggressively, and trying to hit trips or flushes with small pairs and suited aces, you will take advantage of several tendencies:
-Your inexperienced opponents will overplay hands in big pots, particularly one-pair hands.
-They will call too often, without solid values even in multi-way pots and (fortunately for us!) often when out of position.
-Fun players will often tip you off when they have a monster, often with big overbets, allowing you to get away.
-Finally, recreational opponents love to bluff, and there is nothing better than having an opponent try to bluff you out of the pot when you have a monster holding.
Taking advantage of these errors is easy with a tight counter strategy. Playing only the best hands from late position and playing them very ‘honestly’ by raising and re-raising takes maximum advantage of the mistakes at the same time as keeping your swings of fortune to a minimum. While we note that this suggested Rush Poker strategy might not maximize your profit, however it will give you a safe and steady income stream at the expense of those players who seem all too willing to stack-off light!
