Rush poker

A fast-fold cash-game format: folding immediately moves you to a new table with new opponents drawn from a shared pool, so there is no waiting for the hand to finish. Operators sell it under their own names — Zoom, Zone, Rush & Cash, Blaze and others.

Typically two to three times as many per hour as at a normal table, since the dead time between hands disappears. Players who multi-table often run fewer fast-fold tables for the same volume.

Opponents change every hand, so reads and table images are worth almost nothing, and play drifts towards a solid default strategy. Position and hand selection matter more; table selection becomes impossible, which is the main cost of the format.
