For those who are unfamiliar, Rush Poker is a game introduced at Full Tilt (click to download through 7High) where you are constantly being reseated - every time you fold (or the hand ends) you are placed at a new table - so you will never have a good read on your opponents (and even if you manage to land on the same table as someone you do have a read on, it's for only one hand). Anyways, here's the HH - what do you think? I've placed my own comments in between each street:
Full Tilt Poker Game #17813343852: Table Lightning (6 max) - $0.05/$0.10 - No Limit Hold'em - 13:15:08 ET - 2010/01/22 Seat 1: nathou84 ($4.32) Seat 2: blueg ($10.96) Seat 3: jiiihaaa ($24.06) Seat 4: sunjag ($10.98) Seat 5: k06mars ($9.48) Seat 6: samsungs ($7.82) sunjag posts the small blind of $0.05 k06mars posts the big blind of $0.10 The button is in seat #3 *** HOLE CARDS *** Dealt to k06mars [5d 7d] samsungs folds nathou84 folds blueg raises to $0.30 jiiihaaa folds sunjag folds k06mars raises to $0.75 blueg calls $0.45
When I play Rush Poker I play anti-positional poker - that is, I assume cutoff and button raises to be steals, and will play against them by limp/reraising with anything playable from the blinds or early position (as a limp/reraise generally signals great strength, and if I'm ever caught I won't see those players ever again anyway). When villain calls my reraise I figure him for a strong Ace or a mid pair.
*** FLOP *** [8d 8h 5c] k06mars bets $1 blueg calls $1
A flop like this is unlikely to have helped him, so my pair has a decent chance of being good. I make the $1 c-bet which is called. Unfortunately this doesn't give me much information, I was really betting to simply protect my hand and avoid being forced out of the hand.
*** TURN *** [8d 8h 5c] [Jd] k06mars bets $2.25 blueg has 15 seconds left to act blueg calls $2.25
Turn gives me a diamond draw, so if I'm behind at this point I have 9 outs, possibly 11 if I'm behind to an overpair or the Jd. Knowing this, I made the bet hoping villain simply holds AK/AQ and will lay it down. He calls - okay, time to put the brakes on this before I lose any more money...
*** RIVER *** [8d 8h 5c Jd] [Kd] k06mars bets $4 blueg raises to $6.96, and is all in k06mars calls $1.48, and is all in Uncalled bet of $1.48 returned to blueg
...or not...river gives me a flush, there's not much I can do at this point - if I'm behind to a better flush or full house that will happen.
*** SHOW DOWN *** blueg shows [8c 8s] four of a kind, Eights k06mars mucks blueg wins the pot ($17.75) with four of a kind, Eights *** SUMMARY *** Total pot $19.01 | Rake $1.26 Board: [8d 8h 5c Jd Kd] Seat 1: nathou84 didn't bet (folded) Seat 2: blueg showed [8c 8s] and won ($17.75) with four of a kind, Eights Seat 3: jiiihaaa (button) didn't bet (folded) Seat 4: sunjag (small blind) folded before the Flop Seat 5: k06mars (big blind) mucked [5d 7d] - a flush, King high Seat 6: samsungs didn't bet (folded)
D'oh!
