Well the original idea was 1st quarter and I would have been shocked if they tried to roll it out during the TCOOP

An email that said it was never going to happen, an email that they were going to call it lottery poker, an email that they they were going to make every table a blitz poker table, those might be worth making up. An email that says it's going to be a couple weeks later than they said before, in an industry where software releases are routinely delayed months, let alone weeks - not so much.

My theory:
The moment Full tilt comes up again (if that happens), Pokerstars will release a statement saying they are working on it and that it will be ready soon.
This even though they are no where close to done, as they only want to prevent you from changing site.

Or they will launch it when FTP reopens with a 90% rakeback equivalent promotion for the first 3.5 weeks of operation for all hands played on Blitz.

FTP will NEVER be the same -- Rush needs traffic and FTP won't have it at the beginning. I loved Rush but will be in a wait and see mode -- maybe if I get my Black Card in the mail, that might change things. But I doubt it

What is so funny about Nitzkrieg? I understand the first three letters are "nit," but what makes this so funny? I know rush was nitty, but what's so funny about "Nitzkrieg?"

It isn't that funny, but I am the one that coined the term and when the thought first came into my head I chuckled.

Everybody was talking about nits this and nits that ever since the announced changed to WC and Nitz rhymes with Blitz.

And since blitzkrieg means 'lightning war or warfare' then its fun to make fun of rush by calling it something that basically means nit warfare.

I do hope that your sense of humour improves.

That's assuming FTP does come back.

They read everything. And I mean everything.

Josem?

Steve?

Spoiler:
In before Josem runs the algorithm that allows him to find every post ever written about him and shows up itt. Not that he has anything to do with Blitz-Zoom, but he has an uncanny ability to find these posts.

Did anyone think of the possibility that their fast moving ring game product could be something completly different than Rush Poker was, yet? In the worst the case they would just open normal Poker tables with shorter reaction time and no timebank. Or maybe they use the something like the easy seat feature for letting players play only one hand per table and then move to the next. Im sure this isnt the case but I allways read youre waiting for exact the same thing that Rush once was and maybe you all would be a little bit disapointed if it is something else.
