FTP introduces "ADRENALINE RUSH POKER"

"All Adrenaline Rush tables are 4-handed and all action takes place preflop.

Betting is capped at 10 big blinds with buyins ranging from 5 to 10 big blinds. Players’ options while playing are limited to raising or folding. However, players can call if facing a raise that has reached the 10 big blind maximum or is greater than or equal to their stack size."

What are your thoughts, surely this is horrible news for regs.

Niche market for randos looking to gamble. Won't hurt the regular games imo.

Rake. 'Nuff said.

Doesn't this mean you pretty much can only play big cards? I mean suited connectors are pretty much destroyed.

good for gamblers, so nothing for me I cant see how you can be profitable in this in long period of time.

There will be a lot of people losing their minds after losing a number of flips. And that is where the edge will be found.

Yeah this sounds like its for the wacko's

have jumped on a couple of times just to see and have seen a few people with like 5 - 10$+ on the 5nl one from a 50c buyin thats nice profit. Essentially could be a good way to practice a push/fold strat, but yeah with no post flop play it could certainly be real swingy.

From two attempts im up about 50c oh yeah lol. *** correction, only up 40c

Ftp is trying to regain lost ground but in this format gambing is more than good poker

crazy poker the drunks coming in after a night out will love it

Meh I wouldn't play it. Doesn't sound like fun to me.

LOL that sounds hilarious. Crazy poker for crazy people. Tried it out and actually tripled up, but I can't imagine playing it. Rush OD is totally reasonable game in comparison

doubt i will bother playing these, unless i'm in a random mood haha

This has nothing to do with poker.
Its all about rake rake rake. U can play the flips they are also no poker but u don t have to be online to play them.
FTP is going to be a gambling hall. Next to come are video games.
Everything at this room is going down , not only the numbers of players.
Just my 5 cent
GL on and off the tables

In general - is a major step towards the final transformation of poker in an entertaining game, for a fun . To play it seriously, never.

Two additional attempts on this last night, as I was more involved with going through threads and such on cc but wanted to play something, turned out great for me. Invested only a single bi (50c) on two occassions and pulled a profit of 9$ if I recall.

Also again last night there were a couple of people sitting with 9 and 10+ stacks. I think they could certainly have a profitability to them as long as you can deal with the varience of taking a beat when your ahead. Not like I would make the game a huge focus, but for something that I can play with little to no attention, because for the most part its just preflop play, steals are possible because a min raise will usually indicate your going to play but if you attempt and they shove then you just fold unless you have good holdings.

I'll probably continue to play now and then just for some pokerz if im too busy (ie cc post reading etc) to fire up a bunch of stt's . I kind of wish you could observe, because I'd love to view the 1/2 table of this lol.

Won't this pretty much slam that nice huge neon label of poker being a gambling game? You're just banking on luck here.

Would probably roll with the pre-flop all-in junkies who play with any two garbage hoping to get lucky.

I'm definitely not going for this.
