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.

    I like the way you write, few parts I had to read twice :D but still good stuff.

Got something to say?





I have searched around the net and some of the poker books that i have read for some good statistics on probabilities of hitting some big hands. Although it is all mathematics to most, it is this very jargon that can separate the losers from the winners. Flush Probabilities Probability of being dealt suited cards 23.5% Probability of flopping a flush when holding two suited cards 0.8% Probability of flopping a flush draw when holding two suited cards 10.9% Probability of hitting a flush draw (both turn/river, needing one card to hit) 35% Straight Probabilities Probability of hitting an open-ended straight draw (i.e. 4 straight cards, need one on either end to hit on turn or river) 31.5% Probability of hitting a gutshot draw (inside straight draw) on turn or river 16.5% Pocket Pair Probabilities Probability of being dealt a pocket pair 5.9% Probability of hitting a three of a kind or quads at the flop when you hold a pocket pair 11.8% Probability of being dealt AA 0.45% Unpaired Hole Cards Probabilities Probability of making a pair with one of your hole cards (example: hitting an ace or a king if you hold AK) 32.4% Probability of hitting two pair on the flop with each of your hole cards (example: hitting both an ace and a king on the flop, when holding AK) 2% Ace Probabilities Probability that at least one of your hole cards is an ace 14.9% Probability of no one holding an ace, assuming you do not have an ace. Note: this can be used for any card (because the chances of you being dealt an ace or a king is exactly the same). # Players Probability 2 84.5% 3 70.9% 4 59% 5 48.6% 6 39.7% 7 32.1% 8 25.6% 9 20.1% 10 15.6% Probability someone else does not have an ace, assuming you do have an ace, by total number of players: # Players Probability 2 88.2% 3 77.5% 4 67.6% 5 58.6% 6 50.4% 7 43% 8 36.4% 9 30.5% 10 25.3%
