RUSH poker

Last night I tried out a new type of cash game that was just added to Full Tilt. It is called “Rush” poker. It’s a little hard to explain, but takes about 30 seconds to figure out once you start playing. Basically it takes you immediately to the next hand as soon as you decide not to play the one you have been dealt. They do this by grouping hundreds of players into a pool and then moving players to a new table, and deal, as soon as they decide to fold their hand. It is almost instant.

Of course the draw back is you have no idea how the players are playing, by watching hands you are not in(not that I do that anyway), and other players are less likely to play bad hands because they can just look at another hand right away.

I think this is going to be a very popular game it is very fun. I don’t know if it will become my game of choice, as I like to watch TV while I play and there is no time for that, you are totally focused on your screen. It is like the “Crack” of internet poker(i have never smoked crack, I am just going by what I hear).
