Get Ready for Rush Week at Full Tilt

Rush Poker took the poker world by storm when it was introduced earlier this year at Full Tilt Poker, with its ultra fast-paced brand of poker at cash games. Then three months ago, Rush Poker was launched for multi-table tournaments. Now Full Tilt Poker is giving players an incentive to try Rush Poker with "Rush Week," seven days of fast paced action that will award players with an entry into the $50,000 Rush Week Freeroll and/or cash bonuses based on their play during the week.

Rush Week will be held at Full Tilt from July 12th to July 18th ET. Players must opt in to this promotion from "My Promotions" under the cashier. Cash bonuses up to $250 can be earned when 10, 100 or 1000 Full Tilt Points are earned during 4 or 7 days at Rush games during the promo period:

Bronze Level

--Earn 10 or more Full Tilt Points per day on any four days during Rush Week to receive $5
--Earn 10 or more Full Tilt Points per day on any seven days during Rush Week to receive $10

Silver:

--Earn 100 or more Full Tilt Points per day on any four days during Rush Week to receive $25 --Earn 100 or more Full Tilt Points per day on any seven days during Rush Week to receive $50

Gold:

--Earn 1000 or more Full Tilt Points per day on any four days during Rush Week to receive $125
--Earn 1000 or more Full Tilt Points per day on any four days during Rush Week to receive $250

Players will receive the highest cash bonus they qualify for -- the rewards will not be cumulative. Effective clearance rates when earning the minimum Full Tilt Points will range from 7 to 8 Full Tilt Points per $1 of bonus money for the Bronze bonuses (effective rakeback of 113%-119% at full ring and 75%-86% shorthanded), 14 to 16 Full Tilt Points per $1 bonus dollar for the Silver bonuses (effective rakeback of 56%-64% at full ring and 38%-43% shorthanded) and 28 to 32 Full Tilt Points per $1 for the Gold bonuses (effective rakeback of 28%-32% at full ring and 19%-21% shorthanded).

It is believed that they these bonuses are not deducted from rakeback.

To qualify for the $50,000 Rush Week freeroll, a player must reach the final table in any Rush Poker tournament during Rush Week. They will then automatically be entered into the $50,000 freeroll to be held on July 25th at 3:15 PM ET/19:30 GMT.

If case you are unfamiliar with Rush Poker, it is a quick moving game where upon folding your hand you will automatically be moved to the next table, where a new hand will immediately be dealt. Because you are not watching the hand play out, you will see many more hands per table hour -- upwards of 300 per table. In Rush tournaments, it works in much of the same way except once you are down to the final table, it will play like a standard tournament.

It is truly a game that must be seen to believed. If you haven't tried out Rush Poker, this is a great week to get your feet wet.
