Full Tilt Poker have introduced Rush Poker Tournaments

Every time you click fold you will immediately move onto a new hand at a new table.  Therefore you can play a normal structured tournament (ie normal blind speeds and intervals) at about 3 times the normal speed.

Rather than spending 7.5 hours to complete a whole tourney, you can play one in about 2.5 hours, without losing out on any of the skill element.  Not bad eh.

When the tournament gets down to 30 players or less the tables become shorthanded in order to keep up the speed of new tables and new hands.  This will continue until the final table is reached, then the tournament will just revert to a normal tourney.

You can find the Rush Poker Tournaments in the main tournament lobby.  They have a black R next to the them (on the left hand side).

If you would like to give Rush Poker Tournaments a go then sign-up to Full Tilt Poker and get a bonus up to $600 at the same time

The high stakes cash tables on Full Tilt contain some of the best poker players in the world.  But who are the big winners and losers, and who are the most consistant players?

 Jonathan Little has been axed as a Full Tilt Pro after allowing someone else to play on his account.   Whereas it may seem a little harsh to some, I believe it is important that the red pros are actually the named players themselves, especially considering the number of railers that they draw, and questions that they encounter.

 Here is the full statement from Full Tilt Poker

 ”Despite having a great year on the WPT, Jonathan Little is no longer affiliated with Full Tilt Poker. He violated the terms and conditions of Full Tilt Poker by allowing other players to play his account. While we encourage our pros to play as much as they can, we do not allow them to share their account with any other players.

When a player on Full Tilt Poker plays against and chats with a red pro on the site, it is imperative that they be able to trust that it is really the advertised pro playing the account. Given that Mr. Little violated that trust, we have decided to sever his ties to the site, and close his account.

Full Tilt Poker values the trust of its players and will deal with any violation of that trust swiftly. We apologize to any of our players who may have been misled during the past few months by Mr. Little’s actions.”
