I tried it and yep, you can lose money as quickly as in Rush. Curious to see when they expand to tournaments.
Rush was always fun to play for a change. Played some tournaments also back then on FT. It just requires some adjusted tactics compared to normal tournaments. Can be fun once in a while.
The Full Tilt client was definitely faster. "Click" and I was at the next table in a millisecond. With PS there is a small lag before you are actually seated, but the difference is minor. Rush just felt a bit more...."rushy"...

i don't know if you can call this a loss for full tilt poker- even if they were in business now and black friday never happened, still competition is fierce and all other operators would be thinking of alternatives and offering products which have appeal to customers- so nothing strange to see rush poker popping up on every corner

I believe its a loss for Full Tilt. That it was a plus for the site to get some of the players back who like this kind of game and couldnt find it anywehere else. But the way things run in this world that wouldnt last for long either FT was open or not. They just kick them in the nuts now to try and keep them down.

I don’t see it as a loss. They are having all the time before they re-enter the market to study everything the others are doing, to see what is working well and bad with the other companies, which are the most profitable campaigns, the type of games that attract more people, the promos that become more profitable… They must have had access to lots of market studies, and I believe FTP can become itself a case study after returning to the activity.

I liked Rush on ftp, and zoom very alike , I thought ftp had patient( they were applying for it, don't know if they got it before black Friday ) for this Software/Application?
And I see on the ZOOM (beta) TAB> there s Hold'em - Omaha - Other , wonder what other formats they going to release!
