How to Play

fastforward is poker – just faster

Let’s face it – there’s a lot of waiting around in poker. You get dealt your cards then you have to wait for your turn, even if all you want to do is fold.

That’s why we created fastforward. It’s exactly the same as regular poker except we’ve cut out all the boring stuff. If you don’t like your cards you can fold whenever you want and instantly be moved to a new table ready to play a new hand.

We also offer Ante fastforward games in this range where in addition to the blinds an obligatory contribution is paid by each player at the beginning of the hand.

fastforward is exactly the same as normal poker except we’ve made two key changes to really speed the game up:

  • You don’t have to wait for your turn to fold anymore – hit ‘forward fold’ and we’ll instantly take you to a brand new table
