I don't think a RUSH-style format would translate over to MTT play at all.
A big part of MTT's is the ever-increasing blinds... so the players would be sitting on blinds a disproportionate amount and there'd be really no advantage of mass-folding (what.. so you can be on the blinds more often?). I just think it's a really bad idea & would be happy to 'bet' that it'd never fly.

Would have to agree.. but to be more honest... it sounds like a f'n terrible & retarded idea (<< sorry, I'm 'honestly' trying to be nice.. seriously).
It'd be like taking just about everything out of the game.
They've got BINGO down at the Legion once a week here where I live - - one hour they yell out the numbers really fast -- aka 'Rush Bingo' and you pass your bingo card off to the next person ever call out. If you happen to have the winning card passed to you... BINGO! (my example of what I think this idea would do to MTT play).

I enjoy the intelligent give and take of ideas here on the forum & overall spirit most all of the members here exhibit in their communiqué. I also can understand and appreciate the comfort some take when posting statements here, given the anonymity, they might not have the balls to make given they were standing in front of the one they were speaking to. After your reading your post P.O. I take comfort in the knowledge that if you were standing in front of me, the person you just directly insulted, you would have, at minimum altered your choice of wording.

I can see rush working with MTT's, up until they got to a certain point.
It should probably be "Rush until 1/2 are eliminated" though. The problem is that once people can see the bubble they'll play really slow and ruin throw a wrench into the whole rush thing.
People are eliminated at a higher rate in Rush, so in a time-based blinds system they can fold to the money a whole lot easier. You'll need to end Rush-style play well before the people can fold to the money, or the game will be a mess.
I do like the idea though, as it'd liven up the boring first half of the tournament. It'd probably induce a lot more bad play from poor players as well.

I think until the money hits... There should move you around every blind level or something like that.

I wasn't meaning to INSULT you at all. Sorry if you didn't like my choice of wording. I happened to choose it because it is actually a very mild description of how I feel about it.
In person it'd be the same (if I even bothered to comment about it tbh).
Didn't mean to offend... just stating what I think. Perhaps I could've (should've) worded the part differently where I wrote "trying to be nice" (although at the time I was feeling like I was trying to be nice).
Sounds like others on here think it's a good idea & would be interested in playing it! Who knows.. perhaps there'd be enough to make it fly. Can't for the life of me understand why though.

I really like the idea about cutting down table sizes, etc - I'd play that
Why not have it so blinds are dynamic; those who play fewer hands pay higher blinds? Something to think about.
I wouldn't agree with this. You can't necessarily punish TAG's anymore than others just because they aren't playing as many hands at the loose fish on the other end of the table playing like a 85/30

Fewer played hands in rush = more blind rotations = paying more blinds.
They already do it themselves.

What if there were no blinds, only Antis that increased perportionally with the number of hands played. So if Im zipping through the early tournament looking at hundreds of hole cards and show at a table with Sharky (uber tight) Tim who has only seen 60 hands. His anti might be 60 whereas mine might be 200.
Now I concede the above idea may just be mentally deficient but so was a cell phone under 50lbs not too far back.

Not sure it would work. In tourneys you rely on the blinds going up to ante out the shortstacks, or making them push at a certain time. If they moved tables by folding they might not really be paying the blinds as often. It would be harder to bully them also since they wouldn't always be in the same position. If they figured a way to do it I wouldn't play.

That's the exact problem with a RUSH MTT, you can't guarantee everyone will pay the same amount of blinds as everyone else. Because your position always changes, you may pay the SB 5x in a row or miss it 7x in a row. Its all good when the blinds at 15/30 but when they are 300/600, I don't want to have to pay it 5 times in a row.

I agree it's a good idea, but you can't make the antes post until after the hand is folded or played out. If you do it up front, that kinda gives away info that would make it unfair. Posted after the hand, nobody would know until afterward.
