Thanks for the back-up, Bobo. No level, but my fault for trying to be clever and thus confusing the innocent. Now, can you give me any help with this pickle?

I think "Blitz" might have been dropped for copyright reasons though.
Zynga had a "Poker Blitz" game on Facebook.

"Zoom" isn't exactly free of associations though. There's a French rakeback/affiliate site at pokerzoom.fr.

I think Stars will just have to make up a completely new word, or let 2+2 decide on one. Nitzkrieg is definitely winning so far.

I can´t decide between "Nitzkrieg" and "FISH". Both sound very good for me...

That would be nice of Stars. Like making a poll with different choices.

It's not only the UK where that's a meaning for the word but, amazingly, some words have more than one definition.

Since Stars tend to go for astronomical terms for their naming I thought of the following : Astro-Poker, Gravity-Poker or even Light-Speed-Poker although they all sound a bit naff. Hard to think of astronomical terms that refer to speed and would make acceptable brand names. FTP really nailed the naming with Rush though.

Ultimate Poker. Ultimate because it's just the ultimate way poker can be conceived/offered. Don't think it's possible to improve rush model in order to make it more confortable for players to play it.

Final Poker, Perfect Poker, Optimus field follow the same idea but don't sound as good as ultimate.

The good of rush model is that it was not possible to third party sites to datamine it so in fact it was a very perfect system. There weren't problems about free seats either. Much of the problems poker has nowadays were solved with this model. No bumhunters, no ratholing . . . any other ?
