How to Play Rush Poker
Full Tilt poker has introduced Rush Poker into its poker room which is exclusively available only at Full Tilt Poker. Rush poker is played on real cash ring games or in a tournament format. The whole purpose of Rush poker is to minimizes the wait between each hand you play, meaning you will see a lot more hands in a hour than what you would during a normal poker game.
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.
- First choose Rush Poker in the first set of options at the bottom of the list.
- In the second set of options choose the type of poker game you wish to play.
- 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.
- 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.
