I got a 10 $ free no deposit poker from party poker to chack out their fast poker (=rush poker or zoom) I needed to collect 25 party points to clear the bonus. As I played already on Terminal poker I have read some articles about speed poker tactics and used this in my play.
In 3 weeks I could clear the bonus and got up to 30$.
Now I have a bankroll of 50$ and still use the same tactics..
If there s anyone playing fast poker on party a tip which reduces the risks :
I start with 2$ (=min buy-in) and if I am up to 3$ I leave the table. Just restart the table and buy-in with 2$
This has the advantage you put your winnings aside and if you loose an all-in you max loose 2.9 $ Of course the max win is also limited
My advice for clearing bonusses : play tight and keep in mind it takes time to collect the points

Nice tactics... better for you is buy in with 2$ if you lose 20% of buy-in, rebuy, if you win 20% buy-in you get out less risk but if this tactics work, i'll try when i have money, now my BR = 0 )

Usually, in cash, people always think about doubling the initial stack before coming out of the table to open another, but ar rush poker it seems reasonable that you abandon the table earlier. This way you will be increasing your profit rank by decreasing the value you put in risk at each table, which is the minimum.

Great idea for speed tactics which I will employ the next time I get on PartyPoker. I too have had the invite but havent yet had chance to play so will make time and apply your tactics and see how it goes. Nice one.

Dont they have a timer when you leave the table? For example in most sites if not all when you leave the table some time needs to pass in order to be able and buy the minimum again, otherwise you sit down with the money you left the table/

good question, i'm not sure about this- i think no, but those who play regularly might give the correct answer. i played a few times and always started with min stack with the idea to double up and leave, but i lost or doubled up and never returned. maybe a did come back here and there, but really can't recall anything about this rule

Party Poker do have that rule but I'm not sure at all on how that works on the Fast Forward tables since you basically switch tables every hand.

You do not leave the table,you close the table and the money come back to your balance after 1 minute.You apply short stack strategy and have no fear,is working if you have patience and stay on the plan. Good luck

I know that atmost sites youwhen you leave a table and go back you have to use the same cash as you left. This was also in rush games at FTP
But I noticed that this was not at party poker. So I can start with 2$ and when I had 3$ I close the table. By re-opening the same table I can buy-in with 2 $

Well thats definitely a way that allows you to play the double up game in a row. It has, as you stated advantages something that do not happen with the rest of the games, unless there is a big amount of tables permitting you leaving one and joining another.
less risk but if this tactics work, i'll try when i have money, now my BR = 0
