Rush poker

I played some rush poker this weekend and made about 5 buyins... Pretty nice! 5-10 cent level, quite low, but still is a nice return for the time invested (I think 3.5 hours). I originally hated rush, because I made a few BIs and then lost them along with more...however, the game just requires some basic adjustments I believe. Number one, LAG play seems to dominate. The reason is because the natural tendency for rush players is to tighten due to the fact that they can keep clicking fold quickly until they see a nice high pair or nice ace in their hand. Given this, it is easier to put players on that range of hands in certain situations. Hence, playing more hands and outplaying people postflop is a key to success here. Second, stealing is worth it because people are playing tighter. We are seeing so many hands in rush that all of the little blinds we can pick up can really help our stack in the long haul. More thoughts to come after my session tonight...
