Full Tilt has recently created a new format of poker that has online players buzzing. It's called rush poker, and it's exactly what it sounds like, poker at hyper speed.

The biggest change incorperated into rush poker is that once you fold, you don't have to wait for the rest of the hand. You are instantly moved to a new table with new players, and new cards. This allows you to play 4x as many hands an hour, thus increasing win rate, rakeback, and Full Tilt Points, all while reducing bordem.

 This format is truly awesome. It lets good players wait for quality hands and exploit weak players. Also, for whatever reason, the fish are flocking to this game. It's much easier to get called down with a quality hand than it is at a traditional table. Check it out for yourself at Full Tilt Poker.
