Summary of Full Tilt Poker
Full Tilt Poker is still open to US players and one of the few authentic poker rooms out there - you'll definitely not find any casino links at the poker tables in this client. Kudos for that!
Adding to its visibility and prestige is of course "Team Full Tilt," the site's main sponsored pros and the bulk of its ownership group, including poker legends Howard Lederer, Chris Ferguson, Allen Cunningham, Phil Ivey, Mike Matusow and Andy Bloch.
The site's famous catchphrase is "Learn, chat and play with the pros," and they definitely live up to it, with the main sponsored team plus with a growing list of Full Tilt "red pros" found playing regularly at a variety of limits.
Promotions and Bonus Information
They also have other promotions. For example, they hold satellites to various World Series of Poker tournaments.
In addition, there are many high-value promotions such as daily guaranteed prize pools ($5 million each week) and satellites to major live events.
Downside is the standard sign-up bonus, which is nothing special and takes a long time to clear.
For each $1 raked from a pot, every player dealt cards earns one point. Players can earn partial points if less than $1 is raked, and up to three points per hand.
Poker Traffic & Competition
Although Full Tilt is an independent poker room and is not part of a large network, it's one of the biggest poker rooms today. This is partly due to the fact that they still welcome US players.
I have to be honest here, the competition at FullTiltPoker is some of the toughest on the internet. I've played at a lot of other online poker rooms before playing at fulltilt poker and there are some really good games at FullTilt poker. Granted, that's no good if you're looking for some fish but if you want some serious competition (and not so many suck outs), then this online poker room is definitely for you.
Software & Graphics
The software is definitely unique. People can choose among an array of cartoon characters as their avatar. You are also able to display various emotions with the avatar. This adds a level of enjoyment to the game and is attractive to recreational players. From a hands per hour standpoint, the software is a little on the slow side.
The Full Tilt client has some very innovative functionality. For example you can set up default values for your buy-in and rebuy at cash tables. There are also numbers of choices for the table view, with different backgrounds, avatars etc. You can also customize the poker lobby in a number of ways.
Game Variety
When it comes to game variety, Full Tilt Poker really stands out in the crowd. Besides the commonly offered Holdem, Omaha and (to a lesser degree) 7-Card Stud, you can also play Razz and a number of mixed games like H.O.R.S.E. and H.O.S.E. These are combinations of Holdem, Omaha Hi-Lo, 7-Card Stud, 7-Card Stud Hi-Lo and Razz.
Overall, Full Tilt delivers what you expect - plenty of tables and games to pick from, a strong pro presence to give you the cool "poker experience" and a chance to watch some super sick games at the marquee $500/$1,000 No-Limit Hold'em tables.
The hard work and huge advertising budget has definitely paid off, as real-money player statistics as of September 2009 show 10,500 ring-game players at peak hours, and 70,000 tournament players at peak hours.

Best software around.
I liked this poker room. Full tilt is one of the cooler sites out there software wise. Best software around......and many many many fishes that complain on how the software is out to get them...perfect for taking money. I was able to make more money at this site Interface is easy to use. The rake is average, except for the heads-up games. The only limitation at full tilt poker is their support

Wide variety of games for me
Full Tilt Poker offers a wide and excellent variety of tournaments and cash games, but the games are pretty tight, and it offers only email support. I feel its software is great and the games and fun. Full Tilt Poker is an excellent site and easy to use software that makes it simple.
"Software bigger than it looks"
Don't believe the 8.7 MB claim. The software is actually about 30 MB.Little heavy but it's much better than all the other versions. Full Tilt Poker is offering a pretty sweet bonus. The software is easy to use, and the design is nice.
My Favourite
I am a fan of poker and Full Tilt is a great room. This is the best room I could find on the net. I really enjoy playing there; I am having a lot of fun. It has excellent software.The best part was that different aspect of the game were with full of good information.
Great Graphics
The first thing that struck me was the graphics that have been employed by Full Tilt are of a really high quality. From choosing the background image used to the cool avatars representing each playing, Full Tilt have clearly decided to inject some fun in to playing poker. And I have to say, for me this really worked! The user interface used is also really intuitive and when combined with the graphics and sound effects definitely adds up to a playing experience as good as anything competitors have to offer.
lots of game options...
Full tilt was one of the first poker sites I played at.. and I still play most of my poker there as well...
There are heaps tournament always on the go, and once you know what you are doing there are lots of fish to take to the cleaners as well.
I played at full tilt when I was just learning and I have never had to redeposit either... I am a big fan of the software and also all the freerolls that other tournaments that are on the go.... I am a big fan of the site.
