synchronized breaks... Debate?

ColonelAce · Jun 7, 2010

Synchronized breaks are convenient that's for sure, but the rush poker is the best thing that's happened IMO.

Lilli3 · Jun 8, 2010

I agree, Colonel. Rush poker is my favorite, at least.

thejuanupsman · Jun 8, 2010

I agree with you fox.

I'd put Rush as one of the worst things to happen.

Henreiman · Jun 8, 2010

Rush looks super fishy, super fun, super fast. But in reality, it's pretty much a crapshoot. Not only do you have to adjust your entire strategy, but its impossible to get stats on a person and/or tell if they are just getting too attached to their blinds/chips or just holding super good cards. Everyone complains about bad beats, and the rush poker set up only perpetuates it.

cAPSLOCK · Jun 8, 2010

Though it has little effect on me, I'd think the reorganization of minimum buyins on cash tables was very significant.

jimmyjames1713 · Jun 8, 2010

Synchronized breaks was a great implementation

natsgrampy · Jun 8, 2010

From a players convenience stand point synchronized breaks is the best implementation. Just think back to when breaks were after 1 hour of play and if you were playing several different tables, you never really got a "break" to get up and walk away for whatever.

Synchronized breaks only affects tournament players and really would only help tournament players playing numerous tourneys at the same time. If rush poker brings more inexperienced players into the game then that would be a better innovation IMO.

I agree with this statement. Rush poker is a crapshoot.

Best thing to happen in the last year is the green and purple colors in the Full Tilt Lobby.

I think the best thing to happen in poker is our idiots in office are finally getting there head our of there ass and coming closer to legalizing online poker for Americans, so we can in effect take back the market and maybe we can get a fair game.

And rush poker is a trip, but I think it should be called RAKE poker, but they do have 2 rush poker free rolls per day, just so you all know.

That would be me then, and I like synchronised breaks. The only downer is that not all sites have picked up the idea yet.

This.

The death of the SS, at least on FTP, gets my vote.

Monoxide · Jun 8, 2010

deaths of SS's on FTP and rush poker pretty much changed my life in january

so that wins

suprize ...suuprize....suuuuuuprize

my vote is clearly -- RUSH ---

-limit preflop /nolimit postflop?

Its very good for holdem players becuase I spew teh monies.

silverfox432 · Jun 8, 2010

As a T player Synchronized breaks does it for me playing 4 or 5 T's all with different breaks was a pain.

Rush is good fun but will it be around in 5 years? IMO its just a way for FT to increase the Rake reciepts

Colonel · Jun 8, 2010

Synched breaks = +1

Rush poker = -3

IMO, rush poker amounts to a game of math. And since I suck @ math, I can't stand it. Much prefer making my decisions based on:

The actions of the other players @ my table = 65%
The cards I'm holding = 25%
Other factors (my aching back, intuitions, twitchy fingers) = 10%

psy0nyd3 · Jun 8, 2010

For me the #1 best thing thats happened is the addition of shallow tables. Without them I wouldn't have this tiny bankroll.

#2 would be synchronized breaks I hate missing hands to piss.

That kind of post wont exactly count as meaningful if you're trying to get into the freeroll club.

Rush is pretty interesting, and it's great for rakeback whores! But it's difficult for me to get into it.
