Online this concept is beyond useless. If you play live and can get a table reputation like Doyle's then I think it would work fine for you.

ya because people just dont pay attention online, right? i disagree... people DO notice other players unless of course your playing 8+tables. once you play a few pots ina row esp. for a rasie i think you will be labelled as LAG and thus can be tighter in the future and work off your image. JUST like when you switch tables in a tourney and u raise the very first pot no matter what , you may get labbeled"maniac" right away.

I think it has "some" merit. We tend to play better when we're winning and worse when we're loosing.

In Super System Doyle talks about how when he wins a pot he automatically plays the next and normally for a raise. This allows him to go on a "rush". I believe in rushes and havent tried this but I was interested in what some of you guys think. I assume no one has really tried it but what are your guys thoughts?

He doesn't automatically play anything. lol...

I used the rush concept when I won 2K at a donkament and decided to run it up playing 2/4NL. I don't know if you know what this means, but EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I think even in the book Doyle acknowledges there is no correlation/scientific reasoning why one is more likely to win another pot just because he just won one.

His point was more that attentive players would commit a psychological/mental error by somehow thinking hes on a streak and play more timidly - a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I think this works better if you got a LAG style.

This concept is much less useful online ESPECIALLY SSNL. I suspect it *might* have a little merit at higher stakes with attentive players... but I wouldn't know [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Every hand is an independent event. Acting like you're "on a rush" only works for lame and unsophisticated/superstitious players.

Yes and no. The cards are independent. The players, however, have memory. Moreso live than online just because you see more of the same faces live than online, until you reach the higher levels.

But oftentimes, to properly play a hand requires the context of prior hands with this particular foe.
