The PokerBRB league is taking a break in February

Thursday, February 4th, 2010 | Poker Freeroll, Poker News | No Comments

The PokerBRB tournament and freeroll league is taking a break in February. The reason is that we will be expecting some downtime while we change host from the awful UK2Net to our own dedicated server at EUKhost.

In addition we will come up with some new competitions for our relaunch in March.

Look forward to seeing you again at the tables (all 594 of you who have currently registered)

Rush Poker – will Full Tilt Poker’s new poker concept revolutionize online poker

Friday, January 22nd, 2010 | Poker Articles, Poker News, Poker Room | 5 Comments

Full Tilt Poker have invented an ingenious new poker concept fittingly named Rush Poker. The general idea of Rush Poker is to play as many hands as possible by minimizing the time you have to wait between hands. Rush Poker is extremely fast, enabling players to play in excess of 300 hands per hour on a single table.

Here’s how Full Tilt Poker’s Rush Poker works:

When you join a Rush Poker game you are placed in a pool of other Rush Poker players at your chosen limit and poker variant. These players are then distributed randomly on poker tables. The main difference between Rush Poker and regular poker appears once you fold your hand. In regular poker you have to wait until all the action has finished before a new hand starts – this is not the case in Full Tilt Poker’s Rush Poker. In Rush Poker, once you fold a hand you are immediately moved to a new table and a new hand is dealt to you. This is what enables you to play a massive amount of hands per hour. On the down side, you will have no time whatsoever to make reads on your opponents. Rush Poker is multi-tabling taken to the extreme.

I for one am looking forward to seeing what new poker strategies spawn from Full Tilt Poker’s Rush Poker concept. We might even see Rush Poker tournaments in the near future.

And here’s the massive payout list for the final table finishes of the November 9 WSOP main event:

1. $8,546,435
2. $5,182,601
3. $3,479,485
4. $2,502,787
5. $1,953,395

7. $1,404,002
8. $1,300,228
9. $1,263,602

Phil Ivey has been the massive favorite to take the 2009 WSOP main event title despite entering the November 9 final table short stacked

Currently the final table action has been under way for 16 hours and the following players remain:

1. Antoine Saout: 80,650,00 chips
2. Darvin Moon: 75,925,000 chips
3. Joseph Cada: 39,225,00 chips

Phil Ivey was knocked out in 7th place when his all in preflop holding AK did not hold up against Darwin Moon’s AQ. Darwin Moon has continued his amazing run on the final table hitting one three outer after another. It looks like an amateur’s year once again in the 2009 WSOP main event.
