Rush Poker – Lost 8 Buy In’s in 1 Hour

January 21st, 2010 -- Posted in Poker Strategy | No Comments »

A couple of the buyins were lost because of suck outs like ALL IN PF my KK vs QQ and they flop a set. However the others were simply bad calls. While these calls would have been fine for some games Rush requires a different kind of strategy.

Since you can’t really get to much of a history on your opponents you have to really rely on your cards and betting patterns. Stealing isn’t a good idea unless you really detect weakness. However usually its just more profitable to find another hand.

I have decided too only play:
PreFlop All in – AA, KK
PreFlop Bet Hard QQ,JJ,TT

Post Flop All in:
2 Pairs (if obvious flush or strait isn’t there)
Three of a kind (if obvious flush or strait isn’t there)
Straits
Flushes
Full Houses
Royal/Strait Flush

As a Result:
Value of: A x Suited goes WAY UP as I will call moderate bets to see the flop and draw out a Flush
Value of ALL Pocket Pairs goes up as well – Call small to medium sized bets PF to hit a set
Call suited connectors to draw out a strait but only if its cheap

Full Houses and up obviously your ALL IN
I buy in for $10 and push hard when I have one of these hands.

Rush + Rakeback = Lots of Cash
Some multi tabler players are already averageing $50 an hour ALONE in rake back. So all you really need to do is sit around and wait for the nuts while earning your $50 / hour.

First Day Of Grinding

January 11th, 2010 -- Posted in EthanCainePoker.com News, Poker Grinding | No Comments »

I read a book called Treat Your Poker Like A Business by Dustin Schmidt which I will do a full review of later.  The book is basically about the worlds best grinder who played 7 million hands and has won over 3million dollars in the last 5 years.

Made $30 in 1 hour for the Grinding TEST RUN

I have decided to setup my poker playing exactly like him and start grinding.  I played for 1 hour during Full Tilt Poker’s Happy Hour and it went well.  I made $30 overall across 4 tables.

5cent/10cent NL Hold’em Cash Games

My strategy is simply Blind Stealing when I can and then playing good hands aggressively.  I am just playing 4 tables for now because I can focus on strategy AND playing hands properly.

Honesty this is fast enough for me at the moment.

I am mostly concerned with getting a good rhythm down so I can consistently make money on my tables.  The key is to start out focused and STAY focused  because this is a long term conservative consistent money maker.

Lets hope so at least.
