We just made it to Minnesota to spend Thursday and Friday morning tuning up for the ND State Shoot. I was able to play some poker in the car on my laptop and did pretty well, winning about three buy-ins. I definitely made a few mistakes though and they were of the spewy type.
The more I play RUSH the more I realize how the majority of players just basically never bluff... and by bluff I am not talking about c-bet bluffing or double barrel bluffing in obvious spots. It just seems like when someone is repping a narrow range, chucking in chips, and raising postflop they actually have the hand so much more often than a normal 6 Max cash game.
I think this is because people are just quick-folding marginal spots and hands so they actually mathematically end up with less hands in their "air" range. This may seem obvious but I guess I wasn't doing anything to adjust to it as far as my play goes... which resulted in a lot of bad call downs.
I think I'm getting better and better at figuring out the ranges regs have and it seems like some of them are so damn nitty that it is almost a mistake to get QQ or worse in vs them pre-flop if the positional seating isn't blind vs. blind or blinds vs. button. Anyone else have thoughts on whether or not in general players' all-in ranges seem to be significantly tighter than normal?
Yes, they are tighter than normal from what I've seen but that is at lower stakes .10/.25 and .25/.50 (I can't say anything for higher stakes than that).
ReplyDeleteAlmost every time I've watched/played rush poker most pushes (other than big blind and button) are AA or KK with a couple AK and QQ but not normally.
