Full Tilt Rush Poker

Having patience can be trying in any form of poker, even online. When you are trying to play your best possible game, boredom is the enemy. Even when you are at an online table playing 50 hands per hour, that still means that at least 30 to 40 minutes of that our are spent sitting and waiting for the next hand to be dealt after you have folded. Unfortunately, many players often let the waiting get the best of them. Knowing that folding means another minute of sitting on the sidelines while the other players get to play a hand, many players will play more hands than they should just to feel like part of the action.

There are a couple ways players combat this, one is to play multiple tables at the same time. The problem with this for most players is that while it means that you see more hands in the same timeframe, it can also lead to confusion especially when you are dealt playable hands on multiple tables at the same time. While some players are comfortable with this, the confusion involved often causes players to make mistakes.

Full Tilt Poker has finally remedied this problem with an innovation called Rush poker. Only possible online, Rush poker is probably the biggest and most innovative addition in the history of online poker, if not the game of poker itself. The idea behind Rush poker is fairly simple, instead of playing at a single table with eight other players, a player participating in a rush game is added to a much larger pool of between 100 and a few thousand players. The instant a player decides to fold a hand, they are transported to a new table with eight other players from the player pool and a new hand begins immediately. Because of this, there is no waiting and players can play over 200 hands per hour without having to multitask.

Of course, while the rules of poker at the same even in a rush game, the new format does change the game somewhat. Because players find it easier to wait for premium hands, you'll notice players are playing much tighter. As a result, many players have adopted a very loose pre-flop strategy to counter this and pick up lots of undefended blinds. Also, where you will begin to see the same players over time in your pool, it is much more difficult to get reads on specific opponent because you play hands with them so infrequently. As a result the game tends to be much more math-based.

Especially if you find that a lack of patience is your Achilles' heel, you would do well to check out Full Tilt's Rush poker. The pace which the game is played only takes a few minutes to get used to and once you start playing a hand, the action slows down to a reasonable pace to allow you to fully consider your options. If you want to play a lot of poker in a little bit of time, Rush poker is for you.
