Adapting Your Strategy for Full Tilts Rush Poker

July 19, 2019   Game skill   No comments

Rush Poker is a neat game, and in many ways it’s not any different from normal poker. However, there are enough differences between Rush Poker and standard poker that you’re going to want to tweak your game, at least just a little bit.

How you should you adapt your strategy for Rush Poker? Well, you should start by thinking about how the nature of the game changes the average player’s approach to poker. Rush Poker moves very quickly, so what is that difference likely to do to the average player’s approach? Oddly, the same way Ritalin impacts people with ADD – speed slows them down – Rush Poker makes players who would normally be very impatient quite patient. The ability to just click a button and see another hand straight away takes a lot of the frustration of waiting for a good hand out of the picture.

How should this fact impact your strategy for Rush Poker? Well, you have to deal with the fact that people are going to be playing fewer hands, bottom line. And if they’re playing fewer hands, what hands do you think they’re going to be cutting out of the equation? That;s right – the bad ones. The result is that you’re less likely to run into garbage hands making the nuts (fewer straights with 36, for example) and you’re also less likely to run into bluffs.

You’ll also see a lower level of aggression across the board, simple because if people are playing fewer hands, they’re not as inclined to make strong moves with marginal hands. It’s not rocket science – a lot of average players make aggressive moves not because it’s correct to do so, but simply because they’re bored. Rush Poker alleviates a lot of that boredom, and in doing so, takes those plays out of rotation.

How else should you adjust? Another important thing to remember is that there just aren’t the same player dynamics in Rush Poker. Since you’re constantly moving from table to table, you do not build up the same history with opponents, so whatever part of your game that you’ve based in player dynamics won’t be applicable in Rush Poker. That doesn’t mean you should ignore that aspect of the game entirely – it just means that moves you would normally make to set up some kind of play down the road don’t have a lot of utility when you’re playing Rush Poker.

Without a doubt, Rush Poker is one of the most interesting things to happen to online poker in a long, long time. Strategy for the game doesn’t need to be wildly different at this point, but you can be sure that as the game of Rush Poker continues to evolve and grow, more and more distinct strategy crafted solely for the game will continue to emerge. Hopefully this brief guide to Rush Poker strategy has given you a starting point for thinking about how you can adapt your current poker strategy to fit more optimally with Rush Poker.

If it was not for bluffing Poker would be a very boring game. Players would simply put their bets and the best hand would always win on the strength of cards. Bluff in poker is a deception which keeps your opponents alert and when done properly bluffs can help you win more money. Whether you play poker online or live you will notice that players who know when and how to bluff are usually a lot more successful in their game than those who bluff too much or never bluff at all. Poker players who bluffs too often go broke very quickly and those who do not bluff at all not only play a very boring game but also make themselves a easy target to their opponents as they are so easy read. So to be successful in poker you need to take the middle ground approach and be prepared to be caught at times. We hope that when you bluff next time you will keep the following points of poker bluffing strategy in mind to improve your chances and hopefully pull it off.

1. How many players are you bluffing against? You can bluff successfully against one very rarely two people. Never attempt to bluff your way when there are a lot of people in the pot, chances are that you will not succeed.

2. Did you get caught bluffing? It’s a good news! Yes it cost you some money but now your opponents know that you do bluff and will be more likely to challenge you when you have a strong hand expecting it to be another bluff.

3. Never bluff a “Calling Station”. If your opponent tends to call every hand bluffing will not work with him and will cost you money. Save your bluffs for good opponents and especially for tough conservative players as they are your ideal audience.

4. Don’t bluff just for the sake of it. You don’t need to advertise your bluffing too often. Only bluff when you have reasonable grounds to believe that you a fair chance to pull it through. You will have enough advertising value as some of your bluffs will be caught and your opponents will know that you bluff anyway.

5. Try to establish a tight aggressive image at the table. Most of the time play good starting hands and fold the weaker ones. When your opponents are used to seeing you playing a tight aggressive game this is the time to strike. You will be a lot less likely to be called.

6. Imply a specific hand such as a straight of flush rather than raising just out of the blue with a hopeless hand when the board indicates no particular strong hand possibility.

7. Do not bluff when there are more cards to come. Semi-bluffing is the best strategy here as can either get your draw or your opponents might fold.

8. It is a good time to bluff if your opponents checked to the previous round. It’s even better if they checked on the flop. However if the next open card helped one of the other players your chance will diminish.

9. Keep your position in mind, it’s best to bluff from an early position rather than if your opponent checked on you. Betting or raising from the first position indicated that you really have a strong hand and your opponent would be more likely to fold a marginal hand than he would be if he checked and you bet.
