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!
