Rush Poker!

Anyone have any thoughts on Fulltilts new rush poker?

Haven't played it yet. Probably going to be a nit-fest. Fishes typically spew preflop because they get bored and want more hands than they should. Quick-folding means they don't need to get bored anymore. Obviously they can still spew post-flop, so maybe that's fine.

HUDs won't work, and it will be impossible to build any history with villains. It's gonna be weird.

Yeah playing tighter will definitely have its advantages, haven't tried it yet but might be an interesting change.

durrrr is playing 50nl rush poker right now.

You didn't even play it but you already spoke the outcome very well. I played it and it's gay. Poker is not about playing your cards. It's about playing the environment. You can't play the environment in poker if your opponents keep changing every millisecond. This is just pre-flop and flop battle. It's showdown battle. There's no bluffing involved. There will be lot of emotional pos who shove all-in pre-flop to defend their blinds though or with any hand Ace Ten or higher.

I hadn't heard about Rush Poker.

So basically, you are moved as soon as you fold, so you can play a new hand at a new table. Interesting.

So it's going basically be playing your cards, without specific reads on opponents.

But on the plus side, you get to see a whole of hands.

Do the blinds go up any quicker?

Its a cash game so blinds stay the same.

rush poker is cash.
or are there sng type rush games ?

position is strange too
like if i read this correctly you can get unlucky and post a whole lot of small blinds ?

"You’ll post the big blind upon joining a Rush Poker* game. After that, the big blind is assigned to the player who has gone the longest without posting it. If there is a tie for who has gone the longest without posting, the big blind will be chosen randomly among the tied players. All other seating positions, including the small blind, are completely random from hand to hand."

I might try it later just for fun.

i tried it
its pretty lame.

you see a ton of hands but every is either a mega nit or a nit shorty.
its easy to play slag though and pick up lots of small pots.

Meh, I racked up 1000 hands in an hour, slowly increasing from 1 table to 4, I was able to mulitable pretty easy, I made half a buy in at 10NL, but was pretty swingy. I hate the format though, I like observing hands I have folded and making notes on my opponents, you are just playing your two cards.

One possible upside if you have very few leaks in your preflop game not having an operating HUD could be to your advantage. I might have another quick session later, a bit of a thumbs down for me, seems like a rake multiplier for FT but it will attract more casual players - it will be interesting if this takes off as to how it affects the play at the standard tables!

Not even arsed about the sound of this. I mite give it a try out in play money

it looks like a good way to play for players who do not like to have breaks. It is good because you play a lot of poker however it is not good for players who like to get a read on the players at the table.

Probably no reason not to -- didn't really think about it. If I would have done that, I'd be up 5-6 buyins

Are the normal tables seeing less traffic than normal at microstakes?

I like this new way to play poker...its good to get a few ftps very fast. If you like multi tabling but only want to do it with 1 table...this is the game for you! Its good to see some pros playing it right now

Crazzzzzzzzzy Game .... Played it in Play money... Good if you get bored easily... But very complex when your running 4 tables... Nothing like a standard cash game.... Can not really Track other players etc.... Little complex for my liking!

I missed the blinds 20 hands in a row. I think they are random.
