Rush Tournament strategy

[kalev2435]

So I was playing in a rush tournament the other day and was wondering what kind of strategies you guys use in them. I tend to use the quick fold feature unless I pick up a premium hand or hit a blind. That seems to be a good idea until you start having ante's, any other strategies/ thoughts on my strategy?

In rush poker almost half or more people in the tournament quick fold to get Aces or a big hand,and my strategy is to play small hands like 67s 89s or something like that,because most people have big cards like AQ AK or big pocket pairs when they go all in..You might knock them out easily with your suited connectors,but,there is still a BUT,you can get yourself out from the tournament veeery easily if they hit something big.. Its not the best strategy,but it works sometimes.. good luck

Early Stage Strategy

In early stages of the rush poker tournament you should be playing style to be completely tight aggressive. So many players are far too loose aggressive at the early stages you don’t want to get caught up in it right along with them because you will lose too many chips. You also want to steal the blinds when you build up a chip stack solid enough to be average or a little above average. This allows you to be in a good position against your opponents during the mid stage.

Rush tournaments are great for using connectors..any player with chips try to bully with crap..
