As far as Full Tilt Poker goes, it is one of my favourite online poker rooms. The whole experience is wonderful and I thoroughly enjoy playing there. The software and interface is created and owned solely by Full Tilt and is seen in no other online poker room.
The lobby is simple and easy to navigate with clear menu layout and a nifty filter feature to help you find the exact poker game you want to play. Due to its endorsements by many poker pros you should look out for any table listed in red, that shows that one of Full-Tilts pros is currently playing and available for chat.
The poker software includes all the normal features we see in online poker rooms consisting of; four colour deck, in game hand history, player notes, in game stats with a couple of new and exciting features such as of the time bank and selected seat location. One of the most attractive aspects of the software is the customisation options provided, there are so many ways you can change the view and feel of the game that you will never get bored and you can set the scene to suit your mood.
The tables and avatars are a little bit cartoonish and gimmicky but I find that a nice change from some of the more serious tables. Each avatar has four moods you can set (normal, happy, sad, angry), to show your emotion at the time. The tables can be customized in shape and size with a choice of multiple views, classic round table style or racetrack view (more oval of a poker table) either with or without avatars. You can also choose from different backgrounds including Vegas skyline, beach, jungle, ski lodge, outer space and plain.
FullTilt Poker offers one of the most extensive ranges of games which include Texas Hold'em, Omaha, Omaha Hi-Lo, Seven-Card Stud, Seven-Card Stud Hi-Lo, Five-Card Draw, Razz and various mixed games such as H.O.R.S.E., H.A. and H.O.S.E. in both cash games and tournaments. The poker games vary between No-Limit, Pot-Limit and Fixed-Limit, full-table games, shorthanded and heads-up tables.
The competition is fairly strong at Full Tilt poker. The lower stakes tables are still fairly soft but the competition is more challenging than most online poker rooms at the moment. The tables are always well populated with a strong traffic base frequenting all the game types as well as Texas Hold em. The official traffic stats show Full Tilt to be one of the most popular online poker rooms with real-money player statistics as of May 2008 showing 10,500 ring-game players at peak hours, and 70,000 tournament players at peak hours.
The range of promotions and poker bonus at Full Tilt Poker is always fantastic. The ongoing promotions include 100% first deposit bonus up to $600, refer a friend bonus, loyalty program, leader boards and the Iron Man Challenge. It’s a good idea to keep an eye on their promotions page though with new and exciting offers being added all the time. Full Tilt Poker hosts a huge array of tournaments starting from buys ins of only $1 and ranging up to hundreds. Over $8 million is run in guaranteed tourneys each week. Numerous MTTs, STTs, Free rolls, guaranteed pots and knock out tourneys are always available and well populated. There are always new featured tournaments to look out for including qualifiers and satellites to live competitions, Bust out Bounties, Midnight Madness and Winners Choice.
With 24/7 customer support that is fast and reliable, easy and user friendly site and software, Full Tilt Poker is a remarkable online poker room and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to find a place to fins what they want, feel at home and play some quality poker. |
