Rush poker tournaments By rob stephens Though rush poker was created for fast-paced cash-game action, the multi-table sit and go’s are taking over. The switchover to online poker tournament format is interesting. The structures never incorporate antes, but are turbo in format, meaning 3 minute blinds. You begin with 2000 chips instead of 1500. You see a lot more hands, so you hit the blinds more often than at regular poker online tournament pace. If you lose a few hands early, it can weigh heavily on your potential, but the 500 extra chips keep you in the game and out of desperation mode for the first few levels. There are 135 players in each field, and 15 cash. Once you reach the final table, it mirrors single table play of any tournament and the rush experience is over. If you’re observant, when the field narrows a bit you hit some repeat opponents. You might be able to pick up on tendencies and position play and make some notes, as opposed to the huge field rush poker cash games. That being said, I really dislike folding and being moved automatically if you’re in a multiway hand. You don’t get to see the outcome or what the other players might have been up to. You’re solely relying on hand strength for your reason to fold. I got to thinking and wondered if a player might be able to hold onto chips by not quick-folding all the time. The time allotments are not super long, so I don’t think it will than it is to stay out of pots. This gives you a better chance of getting a good hand you can double up with.
