Rush Poker is the world’s fastest poker game, brought to poker players exclusively by one of the world’s leading online poker sites, Full Tilt Poker. After choosing what stakes of Rush Poker to play, players are entered into a pool of other players and will be seated at a random table with either eight or five other players (from that pool, depending on whether you are playing 6-max or full-ring. Whenever entering Rush Poker anew, players will be required to post the big blind. As at any other poker table, preflop cards are dealt to all players. Obviously, if a player chooses to not continue with the hand, he will fold. Here is the difference Rush Poker provides its players: instead of forcing players to watch the entire hand play out after folding, Full Tilt seats whoever has folded at new random tables and a new hand will commence immediately. Players that are not big blind have the option to press “Quick Fold,” the second they have made the decision on their cards. There is no need to wait for the action to fold around!
To get started, click on the Rush Poker tab in the Full Tilt lobby:
You will see all of the stakes and tables available for Rush Poker. There are stakes and games still being added, but right now range from 10NL up to 200NL, 6-Max and full ring. They also have a few Omaha Hi tables. Another big plus is you can play more than one Rush Poker game at a time! This means you can actually play 2 or more tables, that is, if you're up to the challenge! Once you know what stake and game you want to play, double click on it ana you will be taken to the Rush Poker lobby:
Here you can see how many people are playing, how many tables, and average hands per hour. As you can see in the screen shot, the average hands per hour is 261 - and this is full ring! To get started, click on Join Now. You will then see the epic count down:

ATs on the button is a much better hand! Just keep pressing Quick Fold if you have a crappy hand, and in seconds you will have a new one. Rush Poker is totally unique and in a matter of one hour you can end up playing 1,000+ hands of poker, without having to playing 24 tables.
Full Tilt’s new innovation allows poker players to play more hands per table in a smaller amount of time. Even better, this new way of playing is fresh and fun. Players at some Rush Poker tables see more than 300 hands per hour! Multi-tabling is even allowed to compound the number of hands seen. The big blind is assigned to the player who has gone the longest without posting the big blind (unless there’s a new player to the player pool; he would be required to post the big blind). All other positions (including the small blind and button) are assigned randomly. Full Tilt awards Full Tilt Points the same way they do on other poker tables. This translates to more Full Tilt Points and rakeback per table! With stakes reaching up to 200NL and Omaha tables even available, there is a spot for everyone to try this fresh take on poker.
Full Tilt has hit the jackpot with Rush Poker. New players enjoy sitting at these tables due to the large number of hands they can see in a small period of time. Due to these new players trying their luck at the Rush Poker tables, veteran players are sure to be lurking to try and beat these players out of their money.
