In the words of the great Cassie McHigglesworth of UK fame Skins

Finally ran out of rakeback life support on full tilt, helped my wife win a $2 HU shootout so she xfer'd me with winnings and am back to playing on beloved stars, oh how I miss thee. Funny thing is, after playing 3 months of exclusively rush poker, normal ring games feel so good again! I mean damn is it ever nice to have actual legitimate reads on players, who you can iso, who you can bluff, who you can ship 300BB's aipf against. Wow, what a breath of fresh air! I do feel like rush has helped me a little, namely in regards to strengthening my reads in low information spots. Or perhaps it was all gained from greater hand volume. Whatever the case is it's so nice to feel in control at the table again. I wonder if my live play has improved as a consequence of rush.

Yeah, little overbite, but then again as an actress it probably helps her stand out
