    please make 1, 2 max hands per thread.

    hand 1+2) since we have postion i would just flat, the only thing that are ahead of you at this point are sets which is unlikely. then I would see what they do on the turn, I am not folding either hand tho.

    also you can use a HUD on rush, i suggest you do

    Flat the first and bet the turn.
    3 bet the second.
    Heat of the moment I call. But I cant see what hes raising here on the river that you beat unless hes a donk.
    Fold the forth.
    3 bet the 5th.

    Fold the 4th?? really???

    Maybe rush is different, but on nl10 on sky, JJ on a 5 high board = all my money in the middle if possible!

    Pretty much this, although I probably just flat in hand 5 as we have position and there aren't really many scare cards for us on the turn. Also min betting/min raising really tilts me so I probably call in hand 4 in the heat of the moment, but we're probably behind most times.

    I've only done first 3 as got bored after that

    1) Call & Re-evaluate
    2) I'd Bet more Pre, 5 betting. Flop i would bet more again and a potsize bet
    from what you have done i would re-raise to $3 and if they shove call as i think you have under represented your hand
    3) Bet more Pre, 5 bet here. think 5 betting would be much better then your standard 3 bet as i have played rush and likely to get called still and get max value, also you dont want bad cards outdrawing you
    the rest played perfect imo and call on the river, getting the price to call even though he has played like a flush i reckon he probably has a king maybe a good kicker

    4) Shove

    5) Re-raise or shove

    im quite suprised by you 3 or 3.5 betting hands in rush i dont think that is a good way to play it id 5 bet, if you take it down so be it and if you get called you can extract max value. Thats my opinon have played a bit in the past at the same level although not in a while

    This isn't what 3 betting/5 betting means.

    Right ill put it simpler!! as you play more hands the best way in rush is to play premium hands, when you do get them you shouldn't be 3 betting at all in these imo unless you are in late position and you want to try and get someone involved. by 5 betting these hands you will extract more value and weed out the rubbish ones, although most of the time you may not mind being called by rubbish but unless in late position you do not want to be called by a few ppl with your premium hand as likely someone could outdraw you. thats my opinion and tends to work well in rush play decent cards and position but as you wont be playing the same ppl much 5 bet your good hands and get more value and try to get heads up against one opponent. this in turn you will lose less on your big hands and win more when someone goes with you

    NO

    this is not what yb means, this is not '3 betting' or '5 betting'

    I assume that you are reffering to 3x bb and 5x bb raises

    '3 betting' is re-raising the initial raiser, '5 betting' is re-re-re-raisng after he has re-re-raised you, or '4-bet'

    my English is soooooooooo bad

    this is probably true, although this kicker will probably be red and shaped like a diamond, i don't think we can call river

    True, but we're getting almost 4/1 on our money and I think there are enough donks who play 10NL rush for the call to be +EV.

    1) 3b/c flop
    2) 3b/c flop
    3) fold
    4) call and fold to big turn bet
    5) call & dont fold

    Strat91 you say flat call 1st hand but 3bet the 2nd one, if anything id rather do it the other way around. villain in hand1 has 80bbss so is likely to be a fish, his minraise also tells us he's bad and can be minraising this board with lots of worse Kx hands which he might then check back on the turn for pot control or shutdown if a spade comes where as i dont see him ever folding top pair on the flop to a smallish 3bet.

    since the OP aint very good, I would suggest playing on normal tables before you give rush a try.
