Chilipoker and D4 Events today announced the finalisation of an exclusive three-year partnership for the “European Chilipoker Deepstack Open” in Dublin.  This exciting deal enables Chilipoker to become the official sponsor of next month’s tournament with continued sponsorship for the events in 2011 and 2012.

“The European Deepstack Poker Championship 2010 by Chilipoker” will take place at the Ballsbridge Inn Hotel in Dublin from February 4^th to February 7^th, with a total of 7 scheduled events.  The €500 + €50 Main Event is already sold out with 400 registered players.  The ‘deepstack’ structure of this event makes it a very attractive tournament for poker players:  with a massive 50,000 starting stack and blind levels of 60 and 90 minutes, the Main Event will be played over 3 days, with the Final Table expected on Sunday 7^th.

Direct registrations for the Main Event are now closed, however Chilipoker is giving you the last opportunities to qualify for this event.  Thanks to an exclusive online Super Satellites on January 26^th, 20:00 CET, Chilipoker is offering at least 2 guaranteed seats.

This partnership is the next step for Chilipoker after the signed agreement with the Ireland based Sports TV  ‘Setanta Sports’, which resulted in the exciting launch of website: Setantabet.com. As a result of this partnership the ‘Chilipoker Deepstack Open Dublin’ will therefore be broadcasted on TV both in 2011 and 2012, thus benefiting from European and International exposure.

“We are looking forward to working with Chilipoker to make the “Chilipoker Deepstack Open Dublin” the biggest and best loved poker tournament on the European poker scene. The event has already captured the imagination of the poker playing masses with the 2010 event selling out 400 seats one month before the tournament starts. We are very confident that working alongside Chilipoker as main event sponsors we will be bringing over 1000 players to Dublin in 2011″ says Michael Lancey, co-founder of D4 Events with Brian Lannon.

“After the agreement with Setanta Sports, Chilipoker.com is very proud to be going one step further in Ireland by sponsoring a tournament that is highly praised by the French player community.  With a €550 buy-in and an exceptional deepstack structure, this event is guaranteed to give every player the opportunity to enjoy the game.  We are convinced our partnership with D4 Events will ensure this event will be even more successful in the next 3 years.” says Alexandre Dreyfus, Chilipoker.com CEO.

Rush Poker Strategy – Tight Aggressive

When defining a Rush Poker Strategy, it is important to take several factors into consideration as they will assist you in determining how you will play the game:

Ÿ  Players may fold their hand at any time.

Ÿ  The small blind is assigned to players at random.

Ÿ  Most players will be using very tight strategies.

Ÿ  More players will likely fold or raise than limp into pots.

With these considerations in mind, you can easily see that one of the best strategies to use is the familiar tight-aggressive play style. By playing only premium hands (perhaps the top 20 starting hands) and folding the rest, you can ensure that you are only seeing flops with top cards.

Rush Poker Strategy – Aggressive

However, keep in mind that most new Rush Poker players will be playing very tight as well. This is because it is both a solid strategy and they may be new to the game, cautious in fact. By making a raise on most hands that you see, you will likely be able to chase many of the players around the table away and win the blinds almost every hand. There are several key concepts when using an aggressive strategy:

1. Make good hands work for the blinds, not for the stacks (this includes pocket Aces).
2. Be prepared to fold against a strong raise if you were bluffing.
3. Never think that you have too much in the pot to get out if you get caught being aggressive.
4. Make pot raises to chase additional players away that have not yet quick folded.

As a general rule, if you are not seeing a flop with 4 players or less (from the original 10) you are not raising enough. Granted, you will get caught playing aggressively with poor cards once in a while when playing Rush Poker at Full Tilt.

However, playing aggressively with almost every hand can help you to come out far ahead in your bankroll over time. With as many as 100 hands per hour or more, you can count on a large amount of small pot wins to build your chip stack rather than a few big wins every once in a while.

Finding Full Tilt Rush Poker Games

Logon to your Full Tilt Poker account to get started in Rush Poker.  In the Full Tilt lobby, look at the standard view or basic view under “browse” or “type” and select Rush Poker from the list.  Select your game variation, limits and stakes.  Players then see an active game list window, showing all the Rush poker games in action.  Double click on the game you want to be taken to the Rush Poker Lobby to start the game.

Once you select a game, click the “Join now” button to enter the game. Select your buy-in amount and wait for the three-second countdown.  The players are selected randomly from a large players’ pool.

Rules in Full Tilt Rush Poker Games

Seating: You are automatically seated at the first available table for a Rush Poker game.  When you are first seated in a game, you post the big blind for the game. Beyond that, the player who has the longest time since they posted the big blind becomes the big blind for the hand.  The rest of the seating, including the small blind position is randomly selected for each new hand.

Game Play: Rush Poker games play just like standard ring games.  The usual ring game rules of play apply in Rush Poker games, as do the standard card rankings.  Rush Poker games can be played in Hold’em, Omaha Hi and Omaha Hi-Lo variations, so the standard play rules in regular ring games of these variations apply as the Rush Poker rules.

Folding: When you fold a hand in Rush Poker, you are immediately transferred to the next available table for a new game without having to wait for the outcome of the hand.  The “Quick Fold” option lets you move even mid-game, before the action reaches you as long as you are not committed in the pot. This is the speed of Rush Poker.
