well today i started out with $50 in my FT account. thought id play some rush poker (bad idea) was going well then i lost a big pot went down hill from the kept buyin back in (stupid) an in the end ended up with $2 left. went out for a while came back an thoght id try my luck in heads-up. started at $1+0.10 buy in won a few hardly worth it as only earn 0.90 back. any way i played for a while slowly increasing buy ins. played a $2.25 which seemed to take forever as opponent was so tight so got stupid once again a lost then played $5+0.15 won that winning $10. slowly getting back up currently stand at around $25. carnt comlpain sice i built it from $2.
if iv leart a lesson it would be to stay clear of rush poker.
just thought id post this as i like to read other peoples storys an maybe u would like to read mine
thanks for all the advice iv had since joining Great forum

Have a look through the search function about Rush Poker in the forums. Me and some others have done quite a few posts about it. Maybe if you´d been able to read some of those you would have been more careful with your Bankroll.
Rush is a blast....but dangerous as hell! First you start winning and think you´ve got it, and then KABOOM !!... there goes your roll. It really is a "Rush", but too bloody easy to buy more chips.

Knowing when to stop when you are on a downturn is very tricky. Many times I have pulled a losing session out of the flames of disaster, but sometimes you keep going and you just dig the hole deeper. For me, if I am just not playing well, am tired and/or not focused, that means time to do something else. If it is just bad beats and playing outside of my usual style, I take 15 minutes, get a fresh cup of coffee, reflect on the changes to be made, start again and usually do well. GL

i never liked rush poker as my game is based on player reads, and with that thing eliminated it put me at a great disadvantage. but if u can adapt to it and play within ur bankroll, u can surely win lots there.

Believe IslandJack is right about RUSH poker! I play some, but play like a scared chicken since everything in the poker world is relatively new to me. Earned my first $0.90 in RUSH Freeroll and have observed the SNG Rush, but not quite ready. Like Island stated your up, then down, back up then beat up!
an in the end ended up with $2 left.
