Do you feel that normal online poker is too slow?? Well I got great news for you. This week Full Tilt poker has launched their new idea called Rush Poker. This game will blow your mind and jack up your rakeback!
Rush Rules
It may sound confusing, but the idea is quite simple: Instead of joining a standard ring game, you’ll join a large rotating player pool and be moved from table to table with every new hand. With the quick fold button you can fold your hand immediately and move to a new one.

The likes of Tom Dwan, Barry Greenstein, and Doyle Brunson are all shaving their heads for a great cause. Thuy Doan is getting ready to start chemotherapy. So her loyalist friends have all decided to shave their heads in tribute to her upcoming fight.
Norwegian pro Johnny Lodden scored a 5th place finish in the Poker Stars Sunday Million a week ago, cashing in for 72k dollars. Shockingly this couldn’t have come at a better time for him.
“I’m having a really shitty run,” Lodden said to the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet. He’s been losing at poker and sports betting.
“I’m worse off now than two years ago when I was broke,” he says.
“It pisses me off that I didn’t win,” he says about Sunday Million. “When you make such a deep run in a big event you just want to win.”
Shaun Deeb or who I like to call Cal Ripken/Lou Gehrig on steroids is officially calling it quits to all mtt’s. I guess that 788,451.00 he made this year isn’t floating his boat anymore.
“Yah, I’m burntout,” Deeb wrote. “I hate them. I’m done with them. I’m gunna take rest of year off, hopefully, and go do something else. Yah, poker was good for a while but **** I hate what I’ve become.”
Kara Scott has been confirmed by Pokernews.com as the new co-host of the most popular poker show on television, GSN’s High Stakes Poker. She replaces AJ Benza who teamed up Gabe Kaplan for the 1st 5 seasons. Kara is just not a pretty face. She has won over 500,000 playing in live tournaments.
Sometimes even the best players in the world f&*k up.
The hand heard around the world starts with Ivey raising with 8s 8d, Jordan Smith Three-bets from the BB with Ad 9c, Ivey calls. The players check to the river with the board reading Qh Ts 5s Qs As. After the final round of checks, Smith announces “Ace” and Ivey waits until he has seen his opponent’s cards -- and then mucks his hand.
