Features:  

Full Tilt Poker offers all of the features we’d expect to see from a great Poker Software, and then a few more. The program is free to download and easy to use. Our favorite feature is the 100% first deposit bonus you’ll receive just for signing up. This promotion is good up to $600 and can really get your poker playing off to the right start.

Full Tilt is complete with a number of promotions all designed to enhance your online poker experience. One of the better promos is the Invite a Friend program. For every friend you get to sign up Full Tilt will award you $100. There are also a variety of tournaments that offer prizes such as entrée to watch—and sometimes participate—in the WSOP.

To thank the faithful poker players who continually play with real money, Full Tilt has established a point system through which you can earn points and redeem them at the Full Tilt store. Some of the prizes include Full Tilt paraphernalia, flat screen TVs, iPhones, luxury items, poker room items, and more.

What is Available:  

Back in the day—whenever that was—stud was what came to mind when someone referenced poker. Now, however, Hold’em seems to be the fix most poker junkies flock to. Luckily, Full Tilt is equipped with both, in addition to Omaha H/L, Omaha Hi, Razz and Mixed Games. At any given time, tens of thousands of people can be found raising, bluffing and drawing to the best of their abilities around tables supporting any of these popular poker games.

Full Tilt is broken down into two main sections: Real Money and Play Money. Any game that is available with real money is also available with play money. When you are playing with real money, you have the option of choosing between High Stakes, Medium Stakes, Low Stakes and even Micro Stakes poker.

If you’re playing high stakes poker you can expect to pay blinds ranging from $50 to $5,000. Obviously this is for the more advanced poker players who can push around fat stacks of chips. However, if you’re a beginner, or represent the majority of people who do not have the luxury of calling a $20,000 raise you can play the low stakes or micro stakes tables.

After you’ve signed into your account and have decided between real or play money, you can choose to participate in cash games or in tournaments. Full Tilt has a plethora of tournaments going on at any time representing any of the games listed previously.

Poker Education:  

Full Tilt easily has the most comprehensive Poker Education system available out of any Poker Software we reviewed. While most other programs only offer articles and tutorials, Full Tilt offers a poker school. The Full Tilt Poker Academy is an interactive program designed to help players of all skill levels. A plethora of multimedia content such as videos, podcasts, hand replayers, quizzes and tests are available and updated daily. The entire curriculum is designed by top poker pros who understand how to play all the angles on the poker table. The download is also completely free, so you’re learning from the best of the best at no cost. We found this program to be extremely helpful and recommend it to anyone—no matter the skill level—who is interested in getting better at poker.

Of course if you don’t have the time to put yourself through poker school, or simply want a little bit of information, Full Tilt also offers an extensive selection of articles and information about how to play varying poker games, different types of games, different types of tournaments, hand rankings and more. These articles are extremely helpful if you’re looking for a little bit of information, or a specific piece of information.

Another tool we enjoyed—which is only available through Full Tilt—is the Pro Chat feature. This cool feature allows you to establish a time at which you’d like to chat with one of your favorite Full Tilt pros. You can ask them any poker related questions for a limited amount of time. The chat is done in a small group format so there will be a few people there picking the same pro’s brain.
