A good friend introduced me to rush poker about a month ago, since then i only play 4 tables of rush poker, nl5 and nl10(2 tables) and it works perfectly for me. Not sure if it's the style of the game or the fact that i changed something, and usually you are doing pretty good on a new thing you need to go. One thing it sure, it was a great month for me so far and i managed to boost my bankroll considerable! Now i'm actually considering to try to next limit since i hace over 20 buy ins, so maybe i would give it a try to see whats what. Anyway after this long introduction i;m back to the original question of the thread. My friend said he is moving to NL100 since he has 30 buy ins for it so he said to rail him in his first hands at rush nl100. As the title of the thread says it is possible to rail a player while he is playing rush poker?? I did a search on my friends username and i foud him at the rush poker table but when i hit open only the rush poker lobby opens but i can't see him playing. Is there is way to be able to rail him while he is playing???

its impossible to follow a player around on rush poker thats the reason why tracking sites dont track rush poker hands. but if u join the same rush game you might endup bumping into him now and then

Well, grats to you, seems you are doing quite well in these Rush games. Keep it up. I just tried the rush games 2 or 3 times, but really don´t know how to play them well. Do you have any usefull tips for me which I can try out ?
I love rush poker it's great when you got a bunch of buddies begging you for flow and you don't want to talk to them till the final table that is but you can always turn off observer chat

Hi again Macubaas. You cannot rail anyone while they are playing rush poker. It is because they are constantly changing tables.
I agree with Timborep, it is great that you don't get people constantly begging for cash. The action is quick and you find because of the format you are normally playing short handed tables and therefore you can widen your opening range.

Congrats Macuubas,
It's always good to hear about some one's bank roll increasing. Is 30 buy ins enough to risk jumping to the next level though? Don't they normally say you should have between 200 and 300 before bumping up to the next blind level in no limit?

That sucks, it seems i can't watch him playing, maybe he'll make a video and share with me, btw he is playing NL 200 not NL 100. It would be cool if full tilt poker will introduce this option in the near future though SuperNoob, playong at the same player pool with him is impossible since my bankroll only allow to play at NL10 and give some shots to NL25 when i had a god mood Arithmajik you are wrong, i think you refer to tournaments and sit ang go where the value of your buy in needs to be max 3% of your current bankroll, i'm a cash player so it's safe to play at a limit if you have more than 25 buy ins. Still you need to expect a downswing once you move up a limit. And yes, rush poker must be played 100% different than regular poker, the most important rule is that you must play only the good hands. Of course you also need a hud.
