    When only the Super Bowl and Rush Poker can keep your Sunday major from meeting its guarantee, I think that says everything you need to say right there...

    Eh, I decided to skip that tourney because I was 5 tabling with some stacks at the time. I love that tourney normally, but I really don't want to add a Rush tourney when I am multi-tabling.

    I liked the rush tourneys that I played especially the 1mill. It would be cool to have a weekly rush Major, stacks were always deep since people get knocked out so quickly.

    I dont mind rush on the whole but multi-tabling its just too hard to play well with more than 1 rush tournament thrown in, for me at least.

    late night rush tourneys will be the only rush tourneys I would play. Like a lot of you said, I normally pass on the later schedule but if they were rush that would make a lot of people happy imo.

    I liked it more as the week went on. It wasn't that hard to get used to 12-tabling with rush MTTs mixed in there, and I loved how deep stacks were late in the tourney.

    I don't know if I'd permanently change any existing guarantees to rush, but I would probably add some rush freezeouts to my schedule if they created them.

    Oh, and rush rebuys are, like, the nuts imo.

    i originally started one of those threads hating on rush week but it didn't turn out as bad as i thought. worth noting tho that i skipped several mtts that were rush so it's not like i tried to play every single one. i think the biggest factor was they changed back the 163s to non-rush after the first day. agree that FTP should def ADD rush tournaments but DONT REPLACE existing mtts with rush versions. maybe add a flagship rush MTT on sundays or a day like tuesday where you dont have any "special weekly mtt" yet afaik. and to play devils advocate, i doubt they will just add a bunch of rush mtts late at night for the north american players cause, well, there is more than one continent in the world.

    def agree with most on late night sched being rush, think that would be awesome... also I really enjoyed the fnf rush tournament and believe it would rape if that was rush or maybe alternate it from non rush to rush. Otherwise keep the schedge the same or add some random new rush tournaments.

    50/50 rush was good
    turbo fids rush was good
    3r was great
    10r was gr8

    If they have turbo night, why not rush night with the same sched they ran last week so not every mtt is rush but a decent amount.

    10r went right back to being half as big as soon as rush week ended. This tourney clearly needs to be rush!

    I definitely enjoyed the Rush tournaments and would love to see Full Tilt Poker have more big guaranteed Rush events.

    i mean rush guarantees might be bigger atm, that doesnt mean that wont change tho. prolly alot of recreational players testing them out and enjoying them, but when theyve busted their brs or starting to lose interesting towards the "new cool thing", rush mtt fieldsizes and prizepools might get back closer to what a non rush mtt would look like

    i thought this too at first, but I think this will be far more apparent in the freezeouts...i think the Rush rebuys will continue to get larger prize pools due to seeing such a massive # of hands during the rebuy hour.

    if u guys do implement a rush major/flagship tournament...please make it a rebuy.

    Agree with the majority. Leave the schedule as is, however happy to add ADDITIONAL rush tourneys - Midnight madness can always be rush. This attracted on average 30% larger fields than the reg. Given other wishes 4 this to b midnight - 3 am as Rush heavy this would suit me
