Rush Poker is a fast and furious poker format, unique to Full Tilt Poker. This new high speed game is a lot of fun, and is attracting loads of gamblers and recreational players to the exclusive Rush Poker games at Full Tilt.
The game is currently Texas Holdem and Omaha and currently only small stakes, although I'm sure more formats will be added shortly. You can chose to play 6 or 9 handed, and the game is made so fast and exciting because once you fold you're taken to a new table. No more folding preflop and having to wait while the others play the hand, just hit fold and move on. There's even a quick fold button so you can fold before the action reaches you, meaning it's possible to play over 500 hands per hour!
In terms of strategy, playing rush poker is very different from your average ring game. First of all, you get virtually no chance to read your opponents preflop so your decision making is based more on your hole cards. Secondly, players will much low ranking hands quickly so you'll know that post flop most players will have high hole cards (or maybe a low pair, suited connectors or Ax) which means if you have something like 77 in the hole and hit trips on the flop, you'll probably get paid off big time! Just be careful not to let the big blind see the flop for free, so raise rather than limp in. Tight is right - but stay aggressive!
On the flop you should stay aggressive. Players will expect you to have a reasonable hand, so make large raises to make them assume you have the nuts. Never slow play a big hand, because your opponents have no idea what style of player you are, and you want to win as many chips as you can when you do have the best hand.
Rush poker is not only a lot of fun, but can be very profitable too. You'll refine yorru strategy over time, but these tactics outlined here should give you a great start. And the best thing about playing rush is, when you're playing 300 or more hands per hour you'll be learning and building up that experience fast, not to mention your rakeback!
