enty how do you have such crazy swings? vn

rush tables are HU aswell?

i dunno i just ride the variance wave bro . i mean hu is obv swingy and i ran pretty horrible all month so a nice heater was welcomed. if i had a better stop loss and tilted and spewed less when running bad i wouldve lost less in the first place and the swing wouldve been smaller i suppose. then yesterday was mostly just printing money at rush while every fish on ftp was trying it out. i still dont really like it so ill most likely go back to hu but maybe all add in some rush sessions in the couple of days to see if i cant add on to the br. and obv this was fr rush.

Has anybody played any form of old school poker ever since FTP released crack poker? I haven't...

i felt too much like cheating and beating up the fishes when playing it so ill most likely keep it at just that one day with some sporadic sessions thrown in maybe.

Come on taxes, we need to get rolling..... I'll finally get to make a deposit worth while! I'll have a full bankroll for a BRM for 50NL or a really deep 25NL!

Now the question is..... UB beause of Rackback or PS for the awesomeness!

 

[Crummy]

ok finally done for the day
first 1k day ever but not the last imo
some 100nl rush in there to get there which did weird things to my redline

Your so sick!

Well..... believe it or not I've been thinking about that! I might split my roll and put some in FTP for the new crack poker and some in for the real deal! I played some crack poker last night (play money) and OMG was it fun.... I can only imagine that the real deal will be just as awesome!

Great, lost another 6 buyins tonight. Top set got 2 outered for 3 of them on a crack poker table. 10 2 6 rainbow flop, king decide to shove into my set, and manages to click a river.

KK < AK for a stack, and some tilt ensues. IRC im taking the rest of the month off.

 

[Johnnybmoto]

Ya, I got owned playing the crack poker Turned boat beat by higher boat on river for 200BB stacks.

Guy calls my bets to the river with a gutshot and hits.

Good bye Small FTP bankroll.

You and me both, brother. No more crack poker for me for awhile. That 4BI+ loss @ 100NL in 30 minutes last night was enough to stop my addiction before it got started good. Played for stacks with AA and KK twice each, lost 'em all to suckouts. The old ticker can't handle that much tilt anymore...

 

[IveGot0uts]

I feel your pain Tenbob, I had KK<AK 2x once preflop and once on the flop for stacks (they totally whiffed the flop). 2 boat v boat and one KK<QQ, etc. 13 buy ins at 50nl in just under 2k hands. A new record for me and a total month raper.



that nifty drop there is all last night and a few minutes today.

You'll all be back soon. They don't call it crack poker for nothing.

It's irresistible!

it really is irresistible..although im about breakeven on the day...i was up 5 buy ins..than down 4 buy ins and now back to even...this shit is the bomb!

 

[eNTy]

not running so well today
running into the higher nuts on every hand or they get there or i dont get action

its pretty frustrating but to be expected i suppose. -11bi

I had already been on a bit of a downswing, then Rush pounced and magnified it. Now I feel cursed! Running uber mega humongous bad.

Thought I'd give my BR a rest after the beating it took last night at Rush, so I slummed around multi-tabling $5 single table SnG's. Figured I'd crush them at those levels since I do pretty well at MTT SnG's at the higher levels (~25% ITM). The winnings (had there been any) wouldn't make a dent in my losses over the last few days, but would have soothed my ego. Apparently I didn't adjust for the greater number of fish.

Played 7 or 8 SnG's, didn't cash once, bubbled 4 times. The miracle rivers (for the villain) were fast & furious -- I forgot how nobody folds here. Like 55 calls my QQ shove, on a dry board with overcards to his pair, and he rivers a set. I know, I know, I should be glad they make those kind of calls. But dang the last couple of days it seems like I'm the one paying off the fish instead of the other way around. Or maybe I've become the fish...

I would almost certainly have done better buying into a couple of my usual $26 SnG's, and would have spent less to boot. Here I go being results oriented again, but I'm down over $1K for the last month or so and I've never had a swing of more than a few hundred at a time before this.

Sometimes I love poker. Sometimes I want to shoot it in the head, f*** its corpse, and bury it in the neighbor's backyard.

 

[PC69]

oh man... disapointing to type this but seeing as some others had my kind of day @ rush poker I guess I will to.. I GOT MY GODDAMN FACE PUNCHED IN.

Nuff said? Maybe so

No I didnt lose my roll or nething but variance snuck up and hit me with a chokehold and I never seen it coming..

The PLO went ok considerig the variance in PLO (I.E I like the hands I won with and I like the hands I lost with) but cant stand FR and would love the 6max. I believe the moves are to be made there. Correct me if Iam wrong. I also understand the variance at 6 max in Rush PLO could also kill me. HeHe

Meh the day ends at me feeling like I just got into a bar room fight..

Tomorrow I'll be all good and be ready to punch back

I haven't heard ANYONE say they're profitable at rush poker yet! Who on earth is making money there?

I'm up a couple of buy ins over say 2500 hands or so. There's actually some decent strategies over on the Rush Strategy thread in the strategies section - nothing that you guys don't already know.

Ouch. Some bad luck there TB. Yea, I think a break from poker never hurt anyone. I take them all the time & play other competitive games. I hope the month of Feb. is much better for you.

Practice better BRM. You should've played on the play tbls if you really wanted to play RP that bad. Never risk your whole roll in 1 setting/session.

It's like when your grandma would give you a $2 bill on visits to her house & she'd say "now, don't spend it all in one place!".

I'm up 1BI @ 10NL after a little below 200 hands.
