Full Tilt Poker introduced "Rush Poker" overnight. It's a funky concept. As soon as you fold, you get rushed to a new table with a different set of opponents. So you don't get to develop a feel for your opponents.
I played Rush Poker a little today to make sure Poker Copilot works with it. It does, for post-game analysis. However the HUD is useless, seeing as the players change after every single hand.
At first I played ultra-tight on Rush Poker, waiting for a great hand. Then I noticed that everybody was playing ultra-tight. As the wisdom says, when the table is tight, play loose. I did that, raising whenever I had a pocket pair or a picture card, as long as nobody had already bet or raised. It seemed to be a winning strategy.
I'm curious to see what the optimal strategy for Rush Poker will be in a few weeks time when many people have had a chance to develop a strategy.

being LAG doesn't seem to be a good strategy actually. you can't used your image at the table in order to being paid when you hold nuts (as opponents are not the same) !
Does it track opponents across table changes? If you played 200-300 hands, could you start building up some reads?
Assuming you have no specific information on individuals, it would be good to have accurate data on what "most" players do in each situation.
Rather than have information on each player, I'd like to have stats for each combination of stack size and seat number, which is basically the only information available to use.
A HUD for this could show a grid of stats next to each seat, with a row for each stack range. e.g.
10-25BB : VPIP / PFR / AF
25-50BB : VPIP / PFR / AF
50-100BB: VPIP / PFR / AF
>100BB : VPIP / PFR / AF
My suspicion is that players will play the positions differently than they would in a normal cash game. A few reasons:
1. When you can get a hand so quickly, some players who might normally call or raise with a medium hand on the button might instead choose to quick-fold and try another situation.
2. Maximizing earnings/hour will mean a different strategy than maximizing earnings/hands
3. With so many weaker players tightening up, set-mining is more attractive
4. You can't quick-fold in the BB position, so there is a psychological reason to stick with a hand that you might not play in a different seat, just because you waited for it.
