Rush poker tournaments is a unique style of poker. While you still have the normal rules of texas holdem, you are moved to a new table each time you fold your hand. This allows you to play a lot more hands between each break. The average chip stack size moves up much faster than normal poker tournaments so building up your chip stack is very important. Short stacking in a rush poker tournament is not recommended.
Most poker players that play rush poker tournaments are tight aggressive players. The problem most people are asking the question to fix is how to build up your chip stack before the blinds get to big because only playing premium cards leave you short stacking once you reach the mid stage of the rush poker tournaments.The answer is clear and simple but only playing premium cards don’t allow you to do. Open your hand range to steal the blinds in position. Doing this once you reach the middle stage of the tournament allows you to grab chips others are willing to discard and move onto the next table. I know it can be hard to maintain playing tight aggressive but also put loose aggressive into the mix of things. However, this is how you make it through the mid stages into the late stages. Once you reach the late stages you can vamp up the blind stealing to keep your chip stack growing or you can go back to only playing premium cards. While in the late stages of the rush poker tournament you will need to know there are 2 types of players. First the players that are going after the win. Second the players playing just to stay a little longer to get a higher payout. You want to focus on the players going for the win. They are the ones you will be face against in the last 2 tables.
