Full Tilt Poker

Full Tilt Poker is one of the most popular poker sites on the internet. Big-name pros such as Phil Ivey, Chris Ferguson, John Juanda, Gus Hansen, Mike Matusow and many more can often be found honing their skills at Full Tilt. But if it's fish you're looking for, you're still at the right place. These big name pros attract crowds of new players and at any given time you'll find well over 30,000 players logged in at Full Tilt.

Full Tilt Poker Bonus

Full Tilt Poker has one of the juiciest sign up bonuses anywhere on the internet. The sign up bonus alone is a huge boost to all bankrolls. Just for signing up, Full Tilt will match your first deposit 100% up to $600. So if your first deposit is $600, Full Tilt will throw in an extra $600 on top of that, effectively making your total first deposit worth $1,200!

In order to release the bonus, players must earn player points by playing in real money cash games and tournaments. Every point you earn is worth $.06 in bonus money. For every dollar in rake you pay in cash games, you get one point and for every dollar you pay in tournament fees you earn 7 points. As you earn player points, the bonus is released incrementally until you've earned all your bonus money.

Full Tilt Poker Software

One of the reasons Full Tilt has become so successful is because of its high quality software. Not only do the graphics look sharp and crisp but it runs glitch-free. On top of that, the software offers a ton of features that can't be found at other poker rooms.

There are too many features to list here but some of the more useful ones you'll find at Full Tilt include:

Player notes

Multi-color decks (this makes clubs green instead of black and diamonds blue instead of red so that it's easier to spot potential flushes)

Customizable avatars

Secure log-ins (you can now choose between logging in with your username or logging in with your e-mail address)

Instant hand histories

A customizable bet slider that allows you to instantly bet half pot, full pot or 1.5 times the size of the pot

An auto top-up option that automatically refills your chips whenever you dip below a certain level

Full Tilt Poker Cash Games

Full Tilt has the greatest variety of cash games out there. You'll find 6 man games, 9 man games, heads up games, deep games with double-sized starting stacks and cap no limit games that restrict the biggest bet size to 30 big blinds.

You can also pick between Texas Holdem, Omaha Hi-Low, Omaha Hi, Stud Hi-Low, Stud Hi, Razz and mixed games. The mixed games are great for building your all-around poker skills because the game switches between Texas Holdem, Omaha and Stud every few hands.

Full Tilt's cash games are accessible to budgets of every size. Players on limited bankrolls can play .05/.10 NL with as little as $10. If you have $100,000 to throw down, you can play with the big dogs at 500/1,000 NL. Fixed limit games range from .25/.50 all the way up to 2,000/4,000.

Full Tilt Poker Tournaments

Full Tilt used to be somewhat limited on its tournament offerings but they have worked hard to expand this area of the business. They still offer all of the basic freezeout and sit-n-go tournaments but they've also added bounty tournaments, matrix tournaments, knockout tournaments, satellite tournaments, heads-up tournaments and even private tournaments that can be customized and password protected.

What's great is that these tournaments are open for players with bankrolls of all sizes. There are always freerolls running as well as tournaments with buyins ranging from $1 to $5,000. Full Tilt regularly hosts tournaments with prize pools in excess of $1,000,000.

Customer Support

Full Tilt has gotten mixed reviews on customer support for as long as I can remember. I've always had great experiences with the support team at Full Tilt. In fact, I'll give you a personal example of a time the support team really came through for me:

I had played heavily at Full Tilt for several months and earned enough player points to visit their points store and order a 17 inch flat screen computer monitor (they have a great points store, by the way). The monitor came in the mail a week later and everything was fine. A couple of months after that, someone broke into my house and stole a bunch of things, including my new monitor.

As a part of the investigation, I needed to supply the police with serial numbers for everything that was stolen. Of course, I had never bothered to record the serial numbers of any of my things. Instead, I e-mailed Full Tilt and asked them if they could give me the serial number for the monitor they sent me.

Somehow, they contacted the manufacturer, found the serial number and e-mailed it to me a couple of days later. I was very impressed considering this all took place several months after receiving the monitor.

The most common complaint I hear about the Full Tilt support team is slow response times. While this isn't terrible, it is something to keep in mind. Full Tilt is a big enough poker room that support response should be instantaneous.
