Blaze Poker, Ladbrokes’ new fast-paced game

06 Aug 2012 - by Josef Rantamaki

Ladbrokes Poker has introduced a new and inventive way of playing online poker, Blaze Poker.

With plenty of action and the ability to play hundreds of hands hourly without waiting for premium hands, loyalty points are accrued faster than ever before.

It is extremely simple to play and instead of joining a single table of players, you can join a large group of competitors. As soon as a hand has been won, players are immediately taken to a fresh table to face a new set of opponents.

The rules for Blaze Poker are the same as a standard game, but a new and significant feature is the introduction of Quick Fold. This allows a player to instantly close his hand and jump to a new table before the game finishes, whereas in a normal game players have to wait for the hand to be completed before a new one is dealt. Once taken to a new table, fresh hole cards are dealt but if a player is dissatisfied with these, he can press Quick Fold again and move to another table for fresh cards and new players.

Opponents will never know you have used this feature because the Quick Fold software folds your hand for you when the action arrives at where you were sitting, by which time you could have already moved on and played more hands at other tables.

With such a non-stop pace, Quick Fold cuts out the need to sit around and allows many more hands to be played than in a normal game. Taking online poker to a new level, Blaze Poker is hoping to see the number of winning hands rise, with winners surging through the VIP ranks faster than ever by acquiring loyalty points in the same way as a standard cash game.
