Full Tilt Online Poker Site Introduces Speedy “Rush Poker” Game
Full Tilt Online Poker now offers the world’s fastest poker game – Rush Poker. Only available at Full Tilt Poker, the Rush Poker game’s aggressive and speedy playing style has already become a hit! 
We live in a fast-paced world, and the Full Tilt Online Poker site recognizes that. Ordinarily, online poker hands are already dealt at twice the speed than that of actual land-based poker rooms. Yet, this is still not fast enough for some online poker players. The only option these players had was multi-tabling – until NOW.
After introducing Rush Poker, Full Tilt Poker is making poker players’ adrenaline rush. Here’s what the new, speedy poker style is all about:
- In Rush Poker, when a player folds a weak hand, he doesn’t have to sit around and wait for the rest of the hand to finish being played out before getting to continue playing.
- Instead, the player is sent to another table (of the same table stakes of course) where a fresh hand is being dealt.
- This way, a player can continue playing online poker uninterrupted without having to sit and wait for the other players at the table to finish a hand he’s already folded out of.
So, in any given online Rush Poker session, a player is dealt an unbelievably greater proportion of hands than ever before possible in any regular poker session. It’s a new innovation that is sure to have players buzzing.
In fact, there’s already an incredible amount of action at the Full Tilt Poker Rush Poker tables – with around 400 – 1,500 players at FullTilt Rush Poker tables at any given time. Even Team Full Tilt Pros like Howard Lederer and Andy Bloch are already Twittering and blogging about it!

Happy New Year From Full Tilt: With Big Little Tournaments Offering $250K Guaranteed For Dirt Cheap Buy-ins
First Full Tilt had the Holiday Hundred celebrating the coming holiday season, and now the 3Xmas Happy Hours, celebrating Christmas’s arrival. But now, Full Tilt’s getting ready for the next holiday, just around the bend.
A part of FullTilt’s New Year’s party, the Big Little Tournament is actually 4 tournaments (the first 4 Sundays of January, 2010 at 1:45 pm ET), each with a $250,000 guaranteed prize pool, making $1 million guaranteed in all. All of the Big Little Tournaments are in No Limit Holdem, with the ones on the second and fourth Sundays of the month being Turbo tournaments.
Buy-in to the Big Little Tournaments is only $5.50, and you can even satellite in for a lot cheaper, with buy-ins for those as low as 50 Full Tilt Points or $0.50. Satellites into the Full Tilt Poker Big Little Tournaments are running now.
There’s no time to waste though. It’s kind of like last minute holiday shopping, because if you’re not one of the first 50,000 people through the door (that is, registered and seated for the event) then you’re out of luck til the next one – if there is a next one, so make sure you sign up with FullTilt poker and get in on this possibly once in a lifetime deal. Each Big Little Tournament will be capped out at 50,000 entrants. So enter the Full Tilt Poker Big Little Tournament soon, and barring that, enter the cheaper satellites into the events often. To register for the FullTilt Big Little Tournament go to the Standard Lobby View and select Tournament – Guarantee – Hold’em – No Limit – Low.
