There's a new and exciting type of online poker called Rush 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.
Rush poker can be Holdem or Omaha, and Stud will be coming soon. The game is played exactly as normal, on 6 or 9 seat tables, but with one huge difference. As soon as a player is no longer in contention to win a pot, they are instantly reseated and dealt a new hand at a new table. This means you can fold preflop, and rather than wait five minutes for the hand to play out, you get right back into the action straight away. This difference means that players don't get bored, and can play 3oo or more hand per hour!
Of course every variation to the game of poker requires its own strategy, and rush poker is no different. First of all, you'll need to make your pre-flop decisions based more on the cards and the action, rather than any reads on the players since you'll have only been sitting at the table for a few seconds. Since players will be folding most rags, you can assume that usually players have two high cards, or a pocket pair, and sometimes suited connectors or Ax.
Since players know that a new hand is only seconds away they are more likely to fold marginal or drawing hands, so aggressive raising and reraising pre and post flop and be very effective. Raising pre-flop also prevents the big blind from seeing the flop for free.
Rush poker has been called the "greatest innovation since the introduction of Internet poker". That might be over the top, but its certainly a fun and interesting new format which is getting a lot of attention, drawing in loads of loose players, and is a definite opportunity to make a nice profit. - 31897
