Anyone Heard Of These Limit Rushes (nl Double Ups)


Recommended Posts

I'm quoting this from a 2+2 post.In a local internet cafe, i've seen 15-year-olds playing those "limit rushes" where they play at a limit, then, everytime they reach 200bbs they "pocket" half and sit in with 50bbs at next limit. They often end up on tables as high as 2k NL before they go broke.Thing is, only in online gambling minors can get anywhere near this kind of money, and i'm pretty sure they have no idea how much money it really is, but once they go broke they will remember how easy it was, and try again and again.Anyone do this? Sounds kinda fun, like your own personal step program. This coming from a guy who can barely play NL Hold Em mind you, but it does sound like a way to kinda shake things up for a day.

I remember reading someone's blog about how they were doing this. But they were doing it live. That must have ultra annoying for the floor person.

Hahahahaha, Jim Rose says he does that all summer, double up, switch tables, double up, new casino.Just sounds like a fun way to break up a grinding week, start at a $50 table or something and just see how far you can get.

I've done this. I do it when im drunk and feel like playing.I sit with $5 at the lowest level..25NL at Party. Try to triple up, bank 1/3 and move up with the rest. Ive reached 600 NL. Done it 4/5 times, something like that.I've noticed a few things while playing this 'strat'. People won't bluff your blind, and their calling standards are WAY lower when you go all in.

Yeah but didn't Deeb do it using his entire bankroll per session? That's rough man.
Yeah in a Cardplayer article he said that he started off with $60 at 3/6 and ran it into $96,000 in like 12 hours quite a sick run.

I'm sure I would have railed all 12 hours if I had known about it. :club:

Nobody knew who he was at the time. It was over twenty years ago. He had like $300 to his name.
he then lost it all the same day
I could be wrong, but don't think he's been broke since. That's how he got started. Crazy huh?

by doing this you are basically playing a tournament. i remember reading about this in a poker book. I am going to try to find it.
Ed Miller's book? Not Small Stakes Hold Em, but his other one? He's got a chapter on the short stack double up cash game thingie.
