The rules say that blinds are posted by those who havent posted in the longest not random, which is why I have a problem with it.

I'm a supernova VIP on stars, 500K last year. and if i can get rakeback at FTP I will move in a heartbeat. stars marginalized their regs by introducing the 50bb min buy in tables. FTP on the other hand are marginalizing the shorties with the shallow tables.

I love the SSer solution, but damn, Rush poker seems retarded!!!!!

I think you're already proven very very wrong on this one, and we're only 3 hours into it...the rush games are crazy. They definitely aren't nitfests.

Haven't played on ftp for a while, this might be an incentive to come back. Although I am worried about the amount of different games you offer per limit.

I just played 50 hands in 10 minutes, holla

You don't think there is a big novelty factor at the moment and people are just donking it up for a while? Hell Durrr was playing $50NL for a while so I imagine there are a lot of non $50NL players trying it out/donking it up . I bet the games are nothing like this in a couple weeks.

FTP,

I applaud you guys. I was pretty dissatisfied with FTP but this was an awesome update!!!

angry_man · 01-19-2010, 10:17 AM

Rush poker is a very interesting idea. Much fairer, too, since it removes the HUDs (damn you!

)

No, I don't really. I think it's the nature of fish to play a lot of hands. You said this gives fish incentive to nit it up and wait for better hands than Q4o to play. IMO, the fish are going to be playing the same hands they always play. They just get to do it 5X as fast now. Plus if you're a good player, you can exploit the fact that there are no table dynamics.

I think rush poker is going to be crazy going forward even after the novelty factor wears off. We'll see I guess, but it's definitely crazy right now.

Please decrease the huge disconnect timer. Had to wait 90 seconds so I could check back a 2,5BB limped pot on the river. Or at least make it possible to fold OOP or something.

30 seconds would be fine.
