Pokerstars Develop Rush Poker Style Game

[nb1961]

I hear Pokerstars are in the process of developing their own take on Rush Poker. I saw a post from a PS rep on another forum saying they were expecting to have a version ready for public beta testing soon. The rumours I’ve seen are only talking about cash games at the moment, should be interesting I was always attracted to Rush on FullTilt then hated myself for being weak and losing a heap of money to mad donks .

Yup.
It will be interesting to see what this is like (compared with Rush). I personally hated the RUSH SNG's & MTT's, mostly because I found they'd take over my focus from my other tables (ie. constantly mashing the fold button & occassionally sitting there to follow up a hand to take a note on a player). Alot of donkeys have done quite well in RUSH format sng/mtt which is a good thing I guess as long as they bring it to the other tables.
RUSH cash tables I found to be quite addictive (& real swingy)... but also very profitable. A super quick way to amass pts. too. I still way prefer reg. tables though - - I like taking notes/making reads in hopes of isolating certain players & exploiting other's tendancies (or not getting exploited by them... errr... or at least trying to not get exploited by them... or 'as much' by them, lol). On RUSH tables I find you lose alot of this edge. In the lower limits though there still did always seem to be an abundance of fish who'd way over-value their hands, obviously not thinking that their opponent likely just folded 15hands in-a-row & are now playing back at them with a monster. Tons of coolers too though obviously... but to be expected.
I wonder when this Stars rush-variant will be out?
