Yesterday, official PokerStars rep ‘PokerStars Stefan’ posted an interesting announcement that suggested PokerStars is about to come out with their own version of Full Tilt Poker’s popular Rush Poker. He stated, “PokerStars is developing a fast moving ring games product. We expect it to be available for public beta testing in a few months.”
The patent-pending FTP software was an instant hit that enabled players to move to another table as soon as they folded a hand, ensuring very little delay between playing hands. FTP offered Rush Poker for both cash games and tournaments but the PokerStars post suggests it will just be available on cash games.
Surprisingly, there was mixed emotions being expressed in the forum with some concerned over the possibility of a decrease in players at the regular cash games if a Rush Poker-type game is introduced. Although this new feature is still in its production stage, ‘PokerStars Stefan’ added that more news on this will be presented in the coming months.
