Please don't make a fix for rush poker

[Joss]

While I understand your thinking, I expect that our competitors will be adding support as soon as it is feasible for them to do so. We do not want to leave our users at a disadvantage (indeed, we want to leave our users with the advantage), so we will be adding Rush support. I don't know exactly when but I know it's being worked on.

Are we talking as early as the beginning of Feb ?

I have no chance of making iron man this month, but would be back in a flash for next month if i could use a HUD ..

Im all for a level playing field ...

But when i play poker ...

1 .. i would love to increase the amount of hands i play
2 .. Have the time to make correct decisions based on information ive gathered over time
3 .. Make monies

Rush poker with a HUD seems ideal for what i want out of poker.

Players are probably more likely to get bored with Rush Poker if they just keep making decisions without any reads at all ...

It's possible; it's possible it may even be earlier than that, but I can't guarantee anything yet. I know it's a priority at the moment, but there are still some technical hurdles to clear.

My [unofficial] view is that this isn't really the place for this sort of disucssion - if you're using a tracking/HUD application for one type of game then it doesn't really make sense to say that you don't want it to be used for another type of game...

Another thing isn't any fix that will allow Rush tables to be read immediately violate the FTP no datamining policy? Considering if there is a fix made the info would be taken directly off the table as opposed to waiting for a text file, so in affect allowing us to get HHs from all tables without playing?

That isn't right - the hands will still be imported from the hand history files written after the hands complete - to get the HUD to work all we would need to do if find out who is at the new table you are moved to, which wouldn't break any terms.

Ah, I see. I was thinking that would be the way you guys and your competitors would get HUDs to work, just didn't know how possible it was. My biggest concern for Rush, may be voided because it seems FTP is on the verge of introducing Rush to all levels and since I play 2/4-4/8 it kind've sucked seeing all the casual players playing .50/1 while 2/4 is becoming a reg fest.

Yeah 1/2 Rush opened up a little while ago. I'm guessing they'll keep moving it up so long as there are enough players to sustain it.

HEM just released an update that enables its users to input players stats into their FTP notes. It's not a fully functioning Rush Poker HUD by a long shot, but it's a first step. I hope PokerTracker steps up and equals/surpasses them soon.

[kraada]

I'm confident we will.

[bloodndef]

I'm confident we will.

Awesome.

Come on guys. Hurry it up. HEM users are crushing us at Rush

[Josh]

I was just playing a Rush table... with a fully functional, instantly updating Hud. Fear not, loyal PT3 users, you'll have a huge advantage on these tables very soon. Just let us get it through the alpha testing rounds so we can find any major problems before unleashing it on the world.

Josh, music to my ears! i'll try a beta! i like rush, but now HEM users have hud support i cant get away with open-raising every single button anymore. was a killer tactic briefly.
