The day that Rush poker came out I moved from .02/.05 nl to .05/.10 in order to be able to play (with a BR of 140$)
As you can guess it started well until I got the infamous doomswitch, my first ever, actually. Ironically I only started running really bad when my play improved.
Both Pride and the unavailability of lower limit Rush games proceeded to drive me Busto. I always thought the doomswitch was about to end, because how could it go on longer? (a really tilted way of thinking).
HOWEVER, I'm surprisingly happy with the past few days. Sure, I lost my roll, but I have more than 10K hands worth of rake coming in, so I should be able to start micro stakes again.
I think I've improved more in the past few days than I have since the day I began poker. The ability to play so many hands and therefore learn faster has allowed me to drastically reduce my spew and realize how much of an emotional, impatient fish I am (Was!).
My leaks:
I was constantly trying to bluff micro stakes fish,trying to steal the pot whenever my hand didn't connect with the flop, ignoring the fact that it was unprofitable because it felt so good to successfully steal/bluff.
I couldn't put down TPTK unless the flop was super fag, and I played small PPs badly.
Now I'll have a workable roll to begin micro stakes (along with the 3400 FTPs I have no idea what to do with). I will start again, playing solid, patient poker.
Wish me luck.

Know that nobody busto'd your roll but yourself. If you're diligent enough breakeven play should be just a month away, keep at it :D |

some questions to anyone generous enough to respond:
is it ok to ship pre with QQ at micro stakes (Rush) ? was I just running into the top of opponents' range or is this bad?
edit: also, i usually bet 2/3rds of the pot after flop gives me TPTK or better, and if there is no flush or straight draw I bet half pot, correct? |

oh also how about shipping/calling a ship w/ AK? Im pretty sure i should just call a raise (usually to 12-15 bbs) |

Oh also a big leak was calling a raise/shove after a gay card came just to reaffirm the bad beat/know what the guy had, aka tilt call |

bankroll management? when you reload or get more funds maybe try have at least 20BI for the level you want to be at., Rush seems to have a lot more variance to so 14 is never enough and if you do take shots, remember to drop back down if you lose a few BI. |
