A mate just told me about this http://direct.pokerupdate.com/news/n...h-blaze-poker/ , but doesn't appear to be working yet. I fear this isn't going to be a success if you have Stan James/NordicBet and then have Fast Poker with Unibet and various other Microgaming rooms, surely it would be better to have one huge player pool.

Just played it at ladbrokes. was pleasantly surprised on how smooth it is (didnt expect it tbh). only concern is there is no option of observing a folded hand.

Can you play in mini view or only in normal view?

It's a shame that Microgaming updates always take a bunch of weeks to roll out to all skins. Have to wait, I guess.

Anyone with an account there could tell how's the traffic? Hopefully not 20 players at NL4 like Microgaming's fast poker...

You can't see the number of player in the pool, but the traffic is obviously small. It's only live at a couple of skins, and as usual (hope not) will take weeks/months until it's spread all over the network.

So, I think we can sum it up like this:

Epic beat: Rush Poker
Epic nit-party: Zoom Poker
Epic fails: Blaze Poker, Fast Poker

I don't agree.

Sure Blaze will never be like Rush or Zoom, because of the traffic, but you can't really compare it to Fast Poker. The software is sooo much better. And at least 20 skins don't have it... yet.

Give it some time.

I don't complain about Fast Poker, i was actually able to run the $10 free money to $150, but then traffic became a big issue so I couldn't play there anymore... I'll be following Blaze, zoom is to nit-infested, we need donks playing a fast-ring game format...

Blaze Poker went live today on the Microgaming Network. From a first glance it looks quite nice.

What it lacks for in liquidity at the moment it certainly makes up for in functionality and smoothness.

Microgaming have launched a zoom-like fast game format.

Not very fast yet because pools are pretty empty, so there is often long pauses between hands. Had to wait several minutes for a game to start.

I don't mind HUD not being available, but it is annoying that only a small subset of hands is written to hand history. HEM's session stats are FUBAR.

This.

I hope they can just get more people playing in them and get them up to like NL50. Because in the daytime there pretty dead.
