		<description>Certainly I&#039;ve never played so many hands before - rakeback is excellent for this month (almost covers my losses!).

And the speed thing is true too. For certain decisions where you don&#039;t need much thought (minraise steal on btn in particular), it&#039;s worth doing it quickly to make sure their overrushed thought processes aren&#039;t speed bumped (does that make sense? I&#039;m not advocating playing fast, but being aware that your opponent may be in that mindset, and when you have an easy decision it&#039;s worth making it a snap one so that they make their (hopefully) harder decision also a snap one)</description>

		<description>If you eight table 6max games, you&#039;ll play around 650 hands per hour.  If you four table rush at the same game, you&#039;ll play at least 900 hands in the same amount of time.  As far as pure volume goes, there&#039;s nothing that will beat rush.

Also, I think there&#039;s a general misconception that because the rush format is &quot;so fast,&quot; you have to play fast, and people fall into the trap of hearing all the marketing propoganda, seeing table names like &quot;Warp Speed,&quot; and assume they have to make split second decisions every single hand.  If you play your normal pace and make only the simple change of open folding your rags in obvious spots ahead of your action, you&#039;ll at least double your volume without any change in performance.</description>

		<description>Sure, it&#039;s not that bad - although obviously I was out of my depth a bit. I normally four table, but I reckon if someone&#039;s used to 8 tabling then it&#039;s just fine (although if you normally 8 table, why play rush poker?).</description>

		<description>One of the advantages of rush poker is that no one really knows if you are ratholing. So without even the appearance of social stigma, it really becomes just good bankroll management.</description>
