Updates for Full Tilt’s Rush Poker
RELATED ARTICLES
Rush Poker continues to dominate online poker chatter this week, with current buzz surrounding recent expansions to the game.
The reaction to Rush Poker has been overwhelmingly positive, with regulars flocking to the game and the interest of casual players seemingly reignited as well. That sort of response is bound to lead to a rapid evolution of the game, and that’s exactly what’s happening.
The most significant expansion so far: Holdem Manager today announced that they’ve developed a HUD for Rush Poker. The HUD works differently than a traditional HUD does, as HEM isn’t able to (obviously) collect and display real-time data on your opponents since they change every hand. Instead, the HUD works by essentially injecting any past data you have on players into your notes on that player.

Full Tilt has also responded to the increasing popularity of the game by expanding the formats and limits allowed. Originally, Rush Poker was only available for Hold’em at small stakes full ring. Recent updates have introduced Rush Poker for PLO (6 max and full ring available, .25/.50) and additional limits for NLHE (full ring and 6 max available from .05/.10 to 1/2). While there’s no official word from FTP, we’d expect that limits and games will continue to increase in type and variety, assuming that the popularity of the game continues to grow.
That’s the question of the moment regarding Rush Poker – is it simply a fad or an actual game-changer? Opinions seems to be fairly split, with the optimists carrying the day by a slight margin. In a poll on 2+2, ~350 respondents answered the question “How long before action dies at Rush Poker?” 12% responded that the games is already dead, 53% responded “Action is never stopping, always going to be fish” and the rest saw the game drying up within varying points of the year.
Rush Poker is only available at Full Tilt Poker. Read this before you sign up at FTP.
