. . . and they rush back out with some money.
Happy days! all is not lost.
Been playing the rush poker again, I know! I know! I said I wouldn’t but I just couldn’t help myself. Anyways, turns out all went well, tightened my hand range right up to raises which seems to have done the trick. Was calling raises a bit more often with medium pairs which landed me a few $ when the set hit. had a couple of bad hands but overall been playing quite well I think.
Here’s a selection of the bigger winning hands, some questionable?:

This next hand was a very dodgy call by me. Could have easily been beaten by a set on a push like this. Fortunately he was bluffing. No idea why I called but . . . turned out nice.

Here’s one of the losses, a slightly dum move on my part in the next hand I think. Feedback appreciated.

So, after all those fun and games where do we stand?
Profit/Loss on the day: +$42.82 (All from playing rush poker)
Current bankroll: $69.92
Profit since $30.00 initial deposit: $39.92
Target: Build 30 buy ins for the $5.00 + $0.50 games. 30 x $5.50 = $165.00.
Thoughts:
- Only played for 2.08 hours which equates to $20.60 per hour. That’s more than I get paid in work . . . . Hmm
- Can’t quite my job on a $69 bankroll unfortunately, just a tad risky.
- Question for readers . . . Whats the relevance of big blinds per hour or per 100 hands? I know you can use one of them for some reason, read it somewhere but can’t remember now. And whats a good hourly BB figure or per 100 hands BB figure. I’m guessing its the BB per hour is the one that matters.
