It is a lot of fun and there are plenty of lunatics, I tried my normal game and was beating it at a decent clip until the following 2 hands came up
All in on J55 flop with JJ vs KK vs J5 (lol) .... rivered by a K
All in on TK2 flop with TT lost to runner runner flush
Fk it.... I can get rivered on stars exactly the same.
If you can handle the swings I can see it being insanely profitable and I can also see a fair few multi-tabling stars regs moving over just because of the standard of play and the number of hands you can get in. (and the only shortstackers are fish not reloading).
The weekend is going to be a real bloodbath imo gonna be some real bankroll builders happening.
I think FT are onto something with this and the software was very smooth. If you decide to play it though, fade rather than slide and it's just like stacking tables on stars.
Fun? Yes.
Addictive? Yes.
Something new? Yes.
Profitable? Well, from what I saw - yes. For now. It's gonna force me to take better notes, use the colour tab thing and hand read better without a HUD but it's hard to say how long-term profitable it will be once they remove the *NEW* banner from the button.
You've gotta at least applaud FTP for trying something new though, right?
I hate it... I try to bluff (as usuall) and then it turns out they are a huge fish and called down 100bb with bottom pair. Great, I got owned again. **** it, I give up
I think most optimal style would be a very tight aggresive game.

+1 . i tried to played looser and got owned. not enough reads anyway
I love it, the swings will come quicker playing many more hands per hour but if you play position with a decent hand raise, if you get reraise big fold and move on, I think playing really tight and betting your good hands will make you a ton of money.
I think it will attract fish because it offers more action but I'm afraid that in a rush game I have smaller edge on them for various reasons. I don't like the idea at all.
dude anyone who likes this rush poker is completely oblivious to how to play poker in general. This is by far the dumbest form of poker I have ever seen. Lets play poker without ever being able to know your player and make real plays on them. DURRRRRRRR lets just fold and get to the next table. HAHAHAHA rush poker is a joke dont play it if your good takes away a lot of your edge on the bads

there's no denying that your edge is smaller but that's simply outweighed by the fact that it's so fishy right now
was 4 tabling it last night (2 x 6-max and 2 x 9-max) you can join the same game more than once. was easy, you just play less hands per table as you add the tables cos you cant 'quick-fold' quite as early.
btw does anyone know how the rake works on these games? do you only pay in the hands you actually get involved in or something?
