Rush Poker on Full Tilt

I have tried playing the new format Rush poker on Full Tilt. So far so good - I have yet to have a losing session. The basic premise is as soon as you fold you are moved to a new table to play your next hand. And you can quick-fold (fold out of turn) and also move on.

This means you can play a very large number of hands and be VERY tight-aggressive playing good cards in position and dropping out if the flop looks bad.

I think as this format takes off it will become harder to win money but in the early days it appears to be very ATM like!!

Vegas visit

Another trip to Las Vegas. I played 7 tournaments and won 1, bubbling 2 of the others including the Venetian which would have been a decent payday. I bubbled with AA v KK al-in preflop and the flop bringing a K. The shame was is was approx 40BBs in the pot and I would have had enough to make a good run at the final table.

I lost 2 buyins in a cash game in a similar manner. In one I had Jd-10d and the flop came Qh-9d-8d giving me the nut straight and a redraw to a straight flush. I managed to get all the money in on the flop with a guy calling me with 1.8-1 odds to chase his ace high flush draw....and hitting on the turn!! The next showdown a dew hands later was KK v JJ all-in on a low-card flop and my opponent rivering a set.

In fact I lost with KK 5 times in 2 days.

Overall the trip was a success. I clawed back my buyins playing low-limit stakes at Monte Carlo and Osheas. I was in Vegas for 4 days to play poker and 4 days to play in a soccer tournament.

I still love it. I cannot wait for my next visit!!
