Rush Brag

[mxrider]

I've been grinding the 4/135's on FT for some time with quite a lot of success. I've played 440 of them so far with a 61.3% ROI to the tune of $1186 profit. Beginning to move up to the 11's now. Decided to take a shot at one of the $26's that run twice an hour at FTP that are capped at 135. This one had 79 entries once late registration ended. Glad I did

with the good success of the 4's, I've recently moved up to the 11's. I've played 23 of them so far with 6 cashes and 2 final tables.

and now my first win in an 11

Dealer: mxrider finishes in 1st place and wins: $423.23

With those 2 wins, we jump up to a 92% ROI in rush trny's

Believe it or not, I actually prefer trny's, and feel my EV is definitely much better in them than in cash games. I went to cash games due to time constraints and when Rush trny's came out, bingo! They last at most 1.5hrs from start to winning.

Wow I almost want to try it out BTW yesterday I was thinking about how you are running there, wanted to ask

Though I always hated MTTs cause I start tilting soon after beginning, patience problems, maybe rush is a bit different.

How do you think, if I have a... say solid experience in 6max and understand (and can beat) micro HUSnGs, do I need any other specific training to get used to MTTs?

What I would do is just start playing some micro mtt's to get a feel for them. I've stuck with the rush ones due to the shortness of time that comes w/ playing them. There's huge variance in full mtt's and it's about volume.

I've not played the Rush MTTs ever, but they seem a bit weird. Since it's such a "niche" form of poker, you can "solve" the game before everyone else does and hopefully keep making bank. GL sir!
