Full Tilt Poker is an online poker room boasting of big-name players like Howard Lederer, Phil Ivey and Chris Ferguson. Opening its doors in 2004, Full Tilt Poker has since then grown to be the second largest poker room, just behind Poker Stars.
One of the greatest attractions of Full Tilt Poker is the chance to play and rub elbows with celebrity players. The players here are not limited to the hotshots alone though - it attracts both beginners and pros as well. At any time there can be up to 60,000 tournament and 12,500 cash game players active in Full Tilt Poker. With such a huge user base, you are sure to find lots of traffic at not just the popular Texas Hold'em tables but in other games as well. Plays peak at about 7PM US Pacific Time, with most players in Full Tilt coming from the US.
Full Tilt Poker offers a wide selection of games. Besides the usual and immensely popular Texas Hold'em (with limit and no-limit tables), there's also Omaha Hi and Hi-Lo, 7-Card Stud Hi and Hi-Lo, Five-Card Draw, and Razz. There are even combinations of Holdem, Omaha, Hi-Lo, 7-Card Stud Hi-Lo and Razz called HORSE and HOSE and HA. The latest addition to Full Tilt - Rush Poker - gives the ultimate poker experience as you are moved to next table as soon as you fold, giving you the chance to play up to 250 hands per hour.
The proprietary software used in Full Tilt Poker is fast and functional. It is appealing to the eyes, and though a bit cartoonish is a refreshing change to the more serious poker rooms out there. The game software gives the user lots of options to customize game experience. You can resize the tables, view comprehensive statistics, review hand history and take player notes. A unique feature of Full Tilt Poker is that it also allows you to set up default buy-in and rebuy values at cash tables. Table view is also customizable - you can change backgrounds, avatars among other things - as well as the poker lobby. It also has a multi-table option where you can play up to 8 tables simultaneously.
In addition to the first deposit bonus of up to $600 that new players get on the poker room (use bonus code FTRBONUS to get your $600 free), Full Tilt Poker also offers 50% reload bonuses at regular intervals. There are also "happy hours" where poker player points are doubled or tripled. Real-money games earns you player points exchangeable to merchandise and tournament tickets
You can trust Full Tilt Poker. It uses 128-bit SSL encryption to make sure that all transactions are safe and secure. It is also relatively stable, and to date there have been no reported financial or security isses with the site.
Since Full Tilt Poker is an independent poker room that is not part of any poker network, there are no ads to casinos once you enter. This is also a plus, as these ads can get quite pesky. The only downside to this poker room is its limited support. You can only send in your queries, suggestions and complaints via email. The email support line is open 24 hours though, and response time has been observed to be quite fast.
All in all Full Tilt Poker is a recommended experience for everybody. Who knows, you just might get to play poker with Phil Gordon one day.
