Rush poker is a harsh mistress......... thats for sure? She can reward you several times a night Or she can leave you broke and sore..... But the game is defo so adictive once you try it if you love it your hooked. If you hate it you'll come back just to try again. Thats what I found anyway. Good luck what ever way (path) you choose to take.
Rush is pretty good. Funny thing is I profit @NL10, but get crushed @NL5 even though my bankroll says play NL5. When FTP offers their Fast 50 or 100 bonus, Rush makes it easy to clear those limited time offers.

I have played only once in Full tilt , but it looked very good! You play only the cards you want to play. It's FULL of poker action! Sometimes you get bored waiting for the good hand. Rush poker is the solution! I think you gonna love it!
The question if you like rush poker or not will no doubt depend of several factors, depending on what you personally expect from a poker game. Here is what I think about it after having played it a few times :
1. it IS indeed an interesting form of playing poker for people who want to keep in the action and don't want to wait for long times spent by players thinking about their actions. Especially if you get a hand which you are 100% sure of not playing it. You can leave the table quickly and get other cards in a new hand.
2. one of the BIG problems to me is that you always get to play other players, so you cannot get to know the players you're up against, so no making notes etc. This is a BIG disadvantage in my eyes.
3. Another disadvantage is that whan you fold, you don't see the outcome of the hand, unless you sit out, but then you're playing against the principle of the new form and in fact doing thesame thing as in a regular ring game, without winning time.
4. On the other hand, a VERY BIG ADVANTAGE is that you can just keep on folding quickly and don't lose time waiting for another hand, so you can keep folding till you get a playable hand, which in Rush go much fastger than in a normal ring cash game.
5. Another advantage is that, since you're not waisting one single second, you are in a position of accumulating MUCH MORE FPP's ! Even if you don't see the hand completed, you get the points for every hand you were in, and THAT goes fast in point accumulation.
6. BUT... there is another IMMENSE DISADVANTAGE : MOST PLAYERS ARE JUST ALWAYS WAITING FOR A VERY PLAYABLE HAND, which is quite normal. So... you can only play with real monster hands, because you can be sure that each player who stays in the games HAS a good playable hand. AND therefore, also the chances of making a succesfull bluff are diminishing.
CONCLUSION :
if you are looking to score lots of points in a very short time frame, this is THE PERFECT GAME to play, especially if you play with several "entries" (sign in to the game several times, so you are in fact playing Rush poker as if you were multi-tabling).
But overall, in my view, there are more disadvantages than advantages. And mostly the "action" deosn't get much further than the buying of the blinds. Only in a VERY small percentage of the hands you get to see, you'll really get a game played to the finish (showdown), so there are, compared to ring games, very few bigger pots !
Anyhow, there's something in Rush Poker for everyone. I think you should at least TRY it out a few times. And if you play agressively, you can very rapidly win quite well, even by just stealing the blinds very often.
Good luck, and let us know what you think of it after having tried it. I'm anxious to know what YOU think

Ok, i tried it out yesterday. At first i didn't care too much of it, but in about 10 minutes i was hooked. It's amazing, to play ~300 hands in an hour, only in one table. I bought in with 5$ and left when i had 38$.
