Rush Poker Strategy 4. - The not so obvious changes

The possibility of Quick Fold the whole game is changed. The players are not on a good hand. You simply throw away bad cards and sit on the next table at the next hand, where else they had to endure several minutes waiting time. This means that opponents will play much tighter in general. The fish do, of course, the, m what they always do: they play marginal hands and go with it too long. The good Spüieler but play a lot less hands than normal. This is the Quick-Fold button. When you sit with 8-6o in the small blind, then wait until your turn, and consider whether a steal now makes sense? No. Instead, you QuickFold and go to the next table.
 If you increase that is at first position and get called from the small blind, it means that this player has not used its quick-fold option. Instead, he waited for the entire round to play against you. Either he is a very bad player and he has a good hand vedammt. Since he has not chosen the Quick Fold, you can already bet on a range. First, the looks JJ-22 from, maybe AQ and maybe AJ. Everything else is definitely too loose for a call against an UTG raise. From then on, it does best what it always does. It reduces the range until you have a good idea of what one has to do it.
