Full Tilt Poker Room Review

Overview
It is not a coincidence that Full Tilt Poker is one of the leaders in the online poker industry.  The sharp design and quality software, mixed with the solid deposit bonus and promotions make Full Tilt a great place to play.  You can find games of all levels and types at this high quality poker room and you might even get the chance to take on some of Full Tilt’s red pros. 

New Deposit Bonus
Full Tilt offers a 100% matching bonus up to $600 on initial deposits.  To release your bonus you must earn Full Tilt Points by playing in cash games or tournaments.  In cash games for every dollar that is raked in a pot each player will earn 1 FTP, up to a maximum of 3 points per hand.  For every $1 paid in tournament fees you earn 7 FTP’s.  Each Full Tilt Point you earn is equivalent to $0.06 of your bonus.  The bonus is then released to your account in increments of either 10% of the bonus amount, or $20 whichever comes first.

 Tournaments
You won’t have any trouble finding a tournament at Full Tilt, as there are new multi-table tournaments running every few minutes.  There are games of all buy-in levels and varieties.  You can find shootout, heads-up, bounty tournaments and more, with buy-ins anywhere from $1 to $2500.  Keep an eye out for the games in red for your chance to play with a Full Tilt pro.
There are sit and go tournaments running constantly at Full Tilt of every game type and buy-in.  There buy-ins are as low as $1 and as high as $5000.  At any time, day or night you won’t have trouble finding a tourney at Full Tilt.

Cash Games
Full Tilt offers a wide range of cash games, starting at 5/10 cent blinds and capping out at $500/$1000 NL Hold’em tables and $2000/$4000 Omaha H/L limit.  There are 9, 6 and 2 person tables available.  Again, keep an eye on the red tables to play with the pros.  If you happen to be a highroller, try sitting down at Ivey’s or Antonius’ designated tables.

Software & Graphics
Full Tilt’s software is the best in the industry.  It’s clean cut and works well.  Connection loss is not much of a problem with Full Tilt and if it does happen you are given ample time to reconnect.  There are many avatars to choose from, with new ones being added all the time.  Each avatar has a normal, a happy, an angry and a confused face that you can switch through while you play.  The tables are resizeable and there is no limit on how many tables you can play at one time, personally I like to play 6 at a time.

Support
Full Tilt currently only offers email support.  This is a little behind the times, as you cannot contact someone instantly, in the case of a serious problem.  That being said, Full Tilt’s email support is quite good, with quick responses usually within the hour.
