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 longest 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.

this might be the solution to end datamining.

Which means these games will be fishier because HUD-reliant regs won't be playing.

No table selection.
No seat selection.
No waiting lists, either.

There's also a marketing push for this too:

eh, seems like a horrible idea to me

[gnalf]

but the fish can now fold crap because they can get a new hand instantly.
this make make the game nittier and make it a blind stealing contest.

No table dynamics.
No history with other players from previous hands.
No acquiring reads from seeing how others played their hands when you're not involved.
Not a game of poker anymore but a video game?

Not convinced that this is good at all.

I'm a bit worried about something along this line, actually.

Other the that, as others have said, WTF?

EDIT: agree with your last statement, respawn. PLZ don't let this be bad for poker...one time

[Droschopf]

This may be a huge fail.

The megatablers obviously will like it, but I'm not so sure about fish. Yes, they like action, but they are playing every hand anyway, so one table with the same opponents is probably enough action for them?!

Edit: And fish obv like to pwn other people or get the money back.
