Rush Poker is not your ordinary online poker room. Developed by Full Tilt Poker, Rush Poker was designed for the most impatient poker players; those who would play the generally recommended tight poker game if only it did not mean waiting out hand after hand of loose players who waste time betting on virtually anything.

First of all, poker rooms do not offer any type of video poker or slot machines. This is true for internet poker rooms as well, though they are essentially one virtual video poker game anyway. Poker rooms are strictly for poker, so you won’t find other card games or casino related games in them. These rooms are designed for individuals to play against each other, instead of against the house. The house is usually the pit boss or workers that work for the casino or online game room.

To understand what exactly rakeback is, I’ll need to firstly explain how poker rooms make their revenue and money in online poker. Every time you play a game of poker, whether it’s a cash game or tournament, the poker room will take a small percentage of the buy-in fee. In cash games, a poker room take 5% from the value of each pot. This is more commonly known as the “rake”, and most players don’t even notice it happening. The truth is, the amount poker rooms take from rake builds up to a staggering amount in the long run. The biggest online poker site, PokerStars, earns around $500 million in profit from the tables (not revenue, profit!).

If you have ever sat down at a poker table, one fact must have been abundantly clear – everyone at the table is trying to abscond with your money, and to do so they are trying to trick you. Poker is, as many would attest, a game of skill. In order to be a top earner, or even sufficient, you will have to adapt to the psychology behind the game of poker. Simply knowing which hands win, which hands lose, and how the game flows is simply not enough. You will need to know when and how to psych out your opponents – as well as avoiding them doing the same to you.

Playing a winning hand in poker requires a lot of discipline and grace. There is no room for mistakes. A single oversight can kill. It’s not about math or reading your opponents. The most important skill for a winning player is self-control.

In fact, many consistent winners will tell you that the key to their success is playing aggressively using raises. However, not every situation or hand requires a raise and what separates the good poker players from the weak players or fish is knowing the difference.

Poker tournament strategy is a complex affair and different players will offer different advice. There are a few things, however, which will remain consistent between the advice of any given player, no matter how skilled or unskilled they may be. You begin understanding the strategy related to poker tournament play by understanding how these tournaments are set up. Each player will buy into the tournament by paying for a certain amount of chips plus the fee demanded by the casino or the online establishment hosting the tournament. The fee is usually a percentage of the chips. For example, a $500 buy-in tournament may actually cost $520 once the cost of the casino or online service’s site is added.
