Rush Poker

FullTiltPoker recently announced a poker format “that will change the face of online poker forever”. Rush Poker, maybe referred to as just “Rush”, is an exciting form of the game which brings non-stop action and eliminates dull moments. The premise is simple; instead of waiting between hands players are immediately transported to a new table where they will find a different group of opponents. This process continues to repeat itself which can result in a large number of hands played per hour. While Rush Poker tournaments do exist they are nowhere near as popular as Rush cash games.

Rush Poker can be found in the Full Tilt Poker Lobby just under the Ring Game, Sit & Go, and Tournament tabs (yes, they even offer rush poker tournaments!) Full Tilt Poker currently offers Rush NL Hold’em, Limit Hold’em, Pot-Limit Omaha Hi, and Pot-Limit Omaha Hi/Lo. Stakes start as low as $.02/$.05 and go up to $1/$2 blinds. Pot-Limit Omaha only runs from $.05/$.10 up to $.50/$1.00. After choosing your game and limits a new Lobby will pop up with information on the current game including hands per hour and average pot size. If these numbers are to your liking click “join now” and your game will start immediately.

You should immediately notice a few different buttons once your tables open. Even when it is not your turn to act you are allowed to fold and move onto another table. All you have to do is select the “quick fold” button on the lower right portion of your table. You will not know whether or not players have quick-folded until the action is upon them. This is what makes Rush Poker so interesting; hands which might normally be played are routinely folded in the hopes of immediately being dealt a better hand.

What sets Rush Poker apart is the hands per hour that can be played at just one table. With an average for 250-300 hands per hour in NL games, you no longer have to four table to stay entertained. Even better, if you are skilled enough to handle more tables, you can multi-table Rush Poker! The one downfall here is there is only one table at each limit. For example, at $.50/$1.00 there are PLO, NL 6max, NL Full Ring, and Fixed Limit Full Ring tables but just once of each. If you enjoy 6max and want to play multiple Rush Poker tables at once you will need to play different limits. Playing more than one Rush Poker table is not recommended but with some practice will not bee too hard.

Playing so many hands per hour can be a tremendous help when attempting to clear the Full Tilt Poker.com 100% up to $600 initial deposit bonus (with the Full Tilt Bonus Code MAXBONUS600). Because the bonus is large and released in $20 increments you will need to play a lot of hands in the 120 day allotted time frame. Those who are able to multi-table Rush Poker should be able to clear the bonus in its entirety. These $20 boosts to your roll are a big help when looking to move up in stakes. These extra hands played will also help with the FullTiltPoker Iron Man Challenge which is another great way FullTilt rewards its loyal customers. The more rake you pay the higher your Iron Man Status will go which results in mid-year bonuses and other prizes.

Give Rush Poker a go the next time you’re bored of regular cash games. Remember that Full Tilt, including Rush Poker, is no longer open for Americans. It’s action-packed and even those with attention issues should have no problem staying entertained as you get in five hands each minute!
