++ Full Tilt Introduces New Buy-in Limits, Plus Rush Poker ++

Newsbreak – FTPDoug has just announced the new Full Tilt changes here.

They’ve increased the minimum buy-in to 35bb, which I guess is enough to mess up the short stack strategy. They also introduced ‘shallow’ low buy-in games where the maximum buy-in is 40bb. No use to shortstackers at all, but will please the poorer newbie player who doesn’t want to risk a big stack or play capped.

The other big news was the introduction of Rush Poker. Basically when you fold you’re instantly taken to a new table which has a hand being dealt. The idea is you’re continually playing a hand. FTPDoug reckons you’ll play 2 or 3 times as many hands this way. You still get hand histories, but your HUD won’t be able to cope with it. Also sites like pokertableratings won’t be able to track them either. So, downside is you can’t build good reads on your opponents, upside is more exciting and higher rakeback gains. Sounds like fun though, but I can’t see it replacing the grinder’s game of choice (well, maybe? It’ll attract a lot more fish, plus with the rakeback it might change the game a lot?)

    shortstacking 40bb tables must be massively +EV. fish will also tend to play these tables..

    That’s what I thought – true SSS’ers won’t have an edge there and regs will hate it. All that’s left are fish.

    High variance I should expect though.

    btw, did you see ‘what the pros say’ on http://www.fulltiltpoker.com/rush-poker

    Hilarious – people sell their integrity for so little these days (or maybe not so little I guess)

    There will be a revised SSS within weeks.

    Personally I think you need the SSS’ers. certainly at the nano’s. It’s an easy strategy not to broke with which in turn means players just entering the game are not likely to deposit hard earned $ and go broke on the first attempt. Ha, lol its like giving newbie druggies free drugs. get em hooked. see what i did there. I lol’d at my own analogy.

    Did you guys play “rush” yet. Don’t know if I can be bothered with it. Being the stat whore I am.

  5. Lol if players are playing Rush Poker without rakeback they seriously need help! When you play with rakeback in this game you only have to break even for your session…then you profit from your rakeback.

    Shortstacking with 40BB’s has been my choice though, very effective for getting paid off in Rush Poker
