Feel the Rush, Play Rush Poker

January 24, 2010

Rush Poker is the world’s fastest poker game – and it’s only available at Full Tilt Poker.

This page shows you how to find and play a Rush Poker game.

Unlike a standard ring game, when you play Rush Poker you’ll join a large player pool and face a different table of opponents every hand you play. When you fold your hand, you’ll immediately be moved to a new table for your next hand.

Here is a short extract from the Full Tilt site explaining what Rush Poker is all about.

What is Rush Poker*?

Rush Poker is a new poker format available only at Full Tilt Poker. When you play Rush Poker , you’ll join a large player pool and face a different table of players every hand you play. As soon as you fold your hand, you’ll be moved to another table for your next hand.

What does the Quick Fold button do?

The Quick Fold button – located at the bottom of the Rush Poker* tables – moves you to another table for your next hand right away, even if the action hasn’t reached you yet. Players at your previous table will not see that you have folded until it’s your turn to act.

You can use the Quick Fold button at any point in a hand, unless you have committed chips to the pot and are not facing a bet (including when you are the big blind), or you are all in. Beware – once you click the Quick Fold button, there is no taking that action back.

How do posting blinds and seating position work in a Rush Poker* game?

You’ll post the big blind upon joining a Rush Poker game. After that, the big blind is assigned to the player who has gone the most hands without posting it. If there is a tie for who has gone the longest without posting, the big blind will be chosen randomly among the tied players. All other seating positions, including the small blind, are completely random from hand to hand.

Do I have the same amount of time to act in a Rush Poker game as I do in a standard ring game?

Your amount of time to act and your time bank in a Rush Poker game are the same as in a standard ring game, with the following exceptions:

  • During pre-flop play, if it is your turn to act and no players have raised in front of you, you will have a shortened decision time and will not have the option to activate your time bank; if there is a raise in front of you, you will have the standard decision time and the option to activate your time bank.
  • Your time bank will be fully replenished at the start of each hand.

This is very innovative and exciting for online poker. Looking forward to everyone’s feedback.

Got something to say?





Texas Hold’em Set-Up and Play Texas Hold’em Poker is a community card game with four betting rounds. Game Play One player acts as dealer. This position is called the button and it rotates clockwise after every hand. The two players to the left of the dealer are the small blind and the big blind, respectively. They are the only players who have money in the pot before the cards are dealt. Every player receives two cards face down. These are hole cards. The first betting round begins with the player sitting immediately to the left of the big blind, and continues clockwise. When the first betting round is completed, three community cards are flipped face up on the table. This is called the flop. The second round of betting begins with the first remaining player seated to the left of the button. The betting resumes, clockwise. When the second round of betting is finished, a fourth community card is flipped face up on the table. This is called the turn. The third round of betting commences with the first remaining player sitting to the left of the button. The betting moves clockwise, with the bets doubling on the turn. When the third round of betting is over, a fifth community card is flipped face up on the table. This is called the river. The fourth round of betting starts with the first remaining player seated to the left of the button. The betting continues to move clockwise. How to make a hand The players must combine their hole cards with the community cards to make the best possible 5-card poker hand. It is possible to use both hole cards, one hole card or no hole card (play the board), in an effort to make a hand.
