Full Tilt Launches Rush Poker
Full Tilt Poker released a new poker variant called Rush Poker this week that it hopes will revolutionize the online game.
The premise to Rush Poker is non-stop action. In the game players are put into a large player pool but face a different table of opponents in every hand they play.
If a player is dealt a sub-optimal hand, they also have access to a “Quick Fold” button which instantly transports them to a new table and then automatically folds their hand on the old table when action gets to them.
“Rush Poker is the greatest innovation since poker started on the internet,” said Team Full Tilt Pro Chris Ferguson.
The frenzied pace gives players the ability to play more hands than ever before.
It’s unlikely to get a read on a particular player, however, as it’s rare to play a big hand against the same player more than once a session.
Full Tilt is currently offering Rush Poker in No-Limit Hold'em and Pot-Limit Omaha at stakes $.05/$.10 to $.50/$1. At the time this article was published there were over 5,000 players on the Rush Poker tables.
You can find Rush Poker in the main menu in the Full Tilt lobby. To learn more about Rush Poker or sign up for a Full Tilt account click here.

2010-01-30bro i think you might be smoking a lil too much crack! cause thats one of the dumbest "systems" as you wanna callit. ive heard of there is now way youll ever makea good profit of doing that. reason being however many worrthless lil blinds you pick or even if they do fold on flop and you win that lil bit.when someone finally hits a good hand or reraises you.than all the lil blinds you picked up will be lost in that 1 hand they do reraise you!

2010-01-22Strategy is very easy in this game.
1. If people fold to you - no matter what hand you have no matter what position raise 3x the BB and you will usually take the blinds every time (around 65-70%). Don't even look at your cards. People are waiting for big hands and fold is the order of the day. If anyone re-raises you pre flop fold. If anyone calls or raises before you - fold.
2. If one person calls you and you hit nothing on the flop - bet a pot size bet - 70% of the time they will fold right there and then.
3. With 2 callers again if your the first to act - bet the pot even if you have nothing. One may call you - play your normal game after that.
4. If any one re raises - fold
5. Because of the number of hands, most people who call you will be on high cards, if you call with crap, and the flop hits you - you will be payed off big time.
As no-one can get a read on you - you can use this every single hand and a you will pick up most of the blinds, and most of the pots after the flop. Any hands that go further than that - even if you any win a minority - you will be in front. Your going to win more than you loose - I know, I've been doing this for the last couple of days. it will esp. work in the lower stake games.
Its only a matter of time before everyone figures this out. This simply cracks the Rush Poker as being any game of 'real poker' at all. Personally, I'm a hopeless player - So my only claim to fame will be this post - the first to provide a winning system to this new form of poker.
