It is a new format of a cash Texas Hold'em ring game which reduces the wait time between hands to virtually nothing, and thus, greatly increases the number of hands you see per hour. The name may sound gimmicky, but don't let it fool you: Rush Poker is a huge development for the world of online-poker, and if you are a serious online-poker player, you cannot afford to ignore it. The easiest way to imagine Rush Poker is to picture a huge poker hall with hundreds of poker tables. Now imagine yourself sitting at a table. You are dealt two cards, the 2 of diamonds and seven of clubs. Garbage, so you fold. But since you are playing Rush Poker, you don't have to wait for the table to finish the hand. Before the action even comes around to you (before its even your turn), you hit the "quick fold button" and presto! you are immediately transported to another table with 8 different players and two new cards.
