Full Tilt Poker’s Rush Poker

Railbird — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 14:06:24 +0000

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.

Phil Ivey’s Brain Freeze @ 2009 WSOP

Railbird — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 15:54:28 +0000

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.
