Full Tilt Poker Review

Full Tilt Poker is a poker site with star appeal. When you open the website and click on the "Meet Team Full Tilt" link at the lower right, unobtrusive as it is compared to the colorful displays of the pledge and the promotions, you'll be treated to a list of big names in the poker scene - World Series of Poker (WSOP) winners, big money players, like Howard Lederer, Jennifer Harman, and Phil Ivey.

Too bad they hardly ever actually play on the site. But that doesn't keep players from trooping into the game room, and does nothing to detract interested parties from the knowledge that Full Tilt Poker is a professional's playground.

The site itself is well-designed, using a refreshing silver-and-dark green theme. The software is unique and flexible. Like the site, the software uses pleasant-looking graphics. Major plus point: it can also run on a Mac computer, not just a PC!

As a site endorsed by sports celebrities, you would normally expect a lot of soft play. Well, with Full Tilt Poker, expect to be disappointed. The players here may as well be card sharks in training. Ironically, it's when a celebrity sits down to play that the soft games come up; everyone wants to compete against the pro.

The payoff is generous, though. Points in this game room are called "Full Tilt Points." A player earns a Full Tilt Point for every dollar in rake that is dropped, even fractional points. Players can also earn up to 3 points per hand, unlike in many other sites that allow for only one point per hand.

Full Tilt Points can also be earned via tournaments and Sit & Go's. A player gets 7 points for every $1 in entry fees, with no limit to the number of points that can be earned in tournaments.

Tournaments and ring games are offered for Texas Hold'em, Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, 7-Card Stud, and Razz. Customer support is limited to email, but the response time is very quick. Cash-outs can be carried out in a few business days.

FullTiltPoker is the place to play if you're into honing your skills with tough competition - but if you're in it for the money, it might be best to look elsewhere.
