I love Rush Poker, it's really got me enthusiastic about poker in a way I haven't been in a long time. I guess I was always paranoid about being played back at or exploited, and now I get to play without that stress. I run much bigger bluffs than I normally do, because fuck it, only 1 guy tops is going to see me be a monkey. Stylistically there's some other cool stuff that I get to do comfortably that I couldn't do otherwise, though I don't really want to talk about it yet. On the practical side, Rush allows me to get in enough hands to fight against variance even though I work full time, ski weekends, and generally never have time for poker. So long as games continue to run, I don't think I'll ever touch the normal stuff again.

The thing is, I want to 6-table this bitch (8, maybe, someday...). I'm definitely playing 4 tables of NL100 6-max Rush, but what should I add for the other two? NL50 is a little small for me, but I'm much more comfortable with the table dynamics than at FR (must... not... fold... jacks... pre... must... 5-bet shove). I know (hope?) none of you know my particular game well enough to give specific advice, but what are people's thoughts about mixing FR & 6-max? Is it easy enough to figure how to play the first 3 positions in FR? Does folding AQo UTG hurt every time you do it, or do you get numb to the pain?
