As soon as you fold any hand you are automatically taken to a new table to immediately start a new hand.  You will face different opponents every hand, which means if you are a player who likes to study the way people play at a table before making any moves, this format may not be suited to you.  You can even shorten the time between hands by using the Quick Fold button to quickly move away on to another table when folding your hand.

In order to get the list of Rush Poker games up in the lobby, in the Standard View you need to set the browse area at the top of the game lobby up as follows.

1. First choose Rush Poker in the first set of options at the bottom of the list.
2. In the second set of options choose the type of poker game you wish to play.
3. Then choose the type of betting limit and in the last set of options you pick the stakes you wish to play from Micro stakes to the Highest available stakes.  You can choose as many of these as you like to widen the range of tables that will be presented to you.
4. You also need to ensure you have chosen the real money check box at the top right hand corner of the lobby.

Each table line will tell you how many people are currently playing, the stakes set at the table and even how many hands per hour on average the players are seeing as shown in the example below.

When you’ve found the Rush Poker game of your choice then double click on the table in the lobby to enter the game and choose your seat.

Rush Poker can also be chosen from the Basic View by following similar steps to the instructions above. The main difference with the basic view is you can target the specific stake level that you wish to play unlike the standard view which gives you a range of stakes.  Please note that Rush Poker is not available in the Classic view and to play you will need to change the view to either Basic or Standard View.  To change this open up the Lobby Menu at the top of the main screen and highlight Choose Lobby View.

Players can multi table playing Rush Table but this is only recommended for the experienced multi table player, as things can become quite hectic to a novice player who is not used to playing at more than one table at a time.

A big question asked by many players is: How do the blinds work if you are constantly being moved from table to table?  The system works by calculating which player at the table has gone the longest with out posting a blind.  If there are more than one player on the same amount, the big blind is chosen randomly between these players.  This only works for the big blind as the small blind and all other seating positions are completely random.

Full Tilt Points are awarded to Rush Poker players in exactly the same way as if you were playing a standard game.  If you quick fold a hand and are taken to another table before the hand has finished, the points gained from the table you have just folded from will be awarded in the same way once that particular hand has finished.  The Happy Hour also applies to Rush Poker tables so this is a very good way of raking up your Full Tilt points, especially if you have a bonus to clear.

The final prize pool was $764,200 eliminating the need for the guarantee and 522 places paid with first place claiming $135,301.61.

The second surprise was seeing a Full Tilt Pro navigate his way through the huge field and end up at the final table. There were many entered in the event, Lee Watkinson finished 363rd, David Benyamine finished 324th, Keith Sexton finished 90th and Ram Vaswani finished 230th. It was former world series of poker champion Huckleberry Seed though that made it all the way to the final 9.

Though crippled when his pair of nines ran into aces, Huckleberry was not the first to leave the final table. That honor went to Tarsis, who limped with a pair of fours and three callers went to the flop. The flop brought two of the same suited cards and Tarsis’s set. He pushed all in only to be called by the flush draw that not only hit on the turn but again on the river.

Huckleberry Seed, short stacked from a previous hand was next to push. He was called by Smackgirl (who had the aces last time) and then re-raised all in by sunfish2. Smackgirl gets out the way and Seed’s K4 was heads up against A9. A flopped ace sent Huckleberry to the rail in eighth.

Some have reported that two suspect bot accounts were JapintheSack and BeatMe1 yet no one from Full Tilt has officially confirmed these accusations. For all the accounts that are suspected, Full Tilt Poker has frozen their accounts as well as seized all the money that was within those accounts.

There have been complaints from players about bots on Full Tilt for some time now and officially Full Tilt has denied these claims repeatedly. The number of poker players affected by this problem is estimated to be in the thousands but Full Tilt Poker has made no official announcement as of yet.

This is nothing new for online gambling and the industry. MSNBC did a story about bots and poker in 2004 written by Mike Brunker claiming it would be a significant problem for online poker to tackle, another report released in 2006 by Party Poker addressed bots and what their online poker site was doing to combat the problem.

Full Tilt Poker is not the only online poker site suspected to have problems with bots but they are the one that first this moment, caught them and are dealing with the issue.
