General – Full Tilt Poker is one of the most known online poker rooms worldwide. Starting in 2004 Full Tilt Poker has expanded to become the second most trafficked online poker room. There are many reasons why Full Tilt has quickly become so popular with the online poker community. Full Tilt has done one of the best jobs at marketing their site across North America and the world. They are home to some of the most famous poker pros such as Phil Ivey and Mike Matusow. This makes playing at Full Tilt very exciting as you may be able to play at the same table as one of your favorite pros.
Bonus – Full Tilt offers a 100% bonus up to $600. That means that first time players depositing at Full Tilt Poker will receive a 100% match of their first deposit up to the maximum $600 in bonus money. The bonus will be released into the players account by earning Full Tilt Points (FTPs). FTPs are automatically awarded to the player through playing at real money cash tables and at tournaments. Each FTP the player is awarded goes towards $.06 of their bonus money. The bonus is released in increments of 10% of the bonus. For example, a $500 bonus would be released every time the player earns $50 in FTPs.
Competition – The competition level at Full Tilt is generally a little stronger than most online poker rooms. The low limits tend to be very loose and profitable, but as the limits increase the skill level does as well. The higher limits at Full Tilt bring in a lot of very good players and play seems to be pretty tight. With that said, you will always be able to find weaker tables at the higher limits as well because of the mass amount of players at the tables regularly.
Software and Games – The Full Tilt software is top notch software that players love. The software has great graphics and looks very sharp. Players can customize their tables by choosing the background skin and can also choose a personal avatar. The lobby is laid out very nice to make navigating to find the game of your choice easy. Players can multi-table at up to eight different tables with the Full Tilt Poker software. All of the popular games are offered such as Texas Hold’em, Omaha, Omaha Hi-Lo, Razz, Seven Card Stud and Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo. Players can choose to sit at regular, shorthanded or heads up tables.
Tournaments – Full tilt offers tournaments for every type of player. Buy-ins for tournaments range from less than one dollar all the way up to thousands of dollars for the high stake players. You will often see a lot of poker pros playing at the higher buy-in tournaments, especially on Sundays when there is over one million dollars in guaranteed prize pools. Full Tilt does a great job incorporating their tournaments into their promotions. Their most famous promotion is the FTOPS event which holds a total guaranteed prize pool of over 11 million dollars.
