Launched in July 2004, the room has since attracted a lot of players and has created a sponsored team of world-class poker pros including Howard Lederer, Chris Ferguson, Phil Ivey, John Juanda, Mike Matusow and Erik Seidel.

Game Variety

Full Tilt Poker offers an excellent game variety, spreading Texas Hold’em, Omaha Hi, Omaha Hi-Lo, Seven-Card Stud Hi, Seven-Card Stud Hi-Lo and Razz.

It’s also one of few rooms to offer a complete selection of mixed games including H.A.(Hold’em and Omaha Hi), H.O.R.S.E. (Hold’em, Omaha Hi-Lo, Razz, Seven-Card Stud and Seven-Card Stud Hi-Lo) and H.O.S.E. (Hold’em, Omaha Hi-Lo, Seven-Card Stud and Seven-Card Stud Hi-Lo).

Ring Game Traffic

Traffic at Full Tilt Poker is among the best in the world and still growing. There are always several games running at any level of Texas Hold’em and Omaha. Full Tilt Poker has peak cash-game traffic of 10,500 real-money players at peak hours (July 2009).

Soft Competition

Competition at Full Tilt Poker ranges from relatively loose and terrible at the micro limits to pretty much unbeatable at the high and ultra-high stakes.

Full Tilt Poker is definitely one of the rooms you’ll find “grinders” making a living from online poker, so realize if you’re hitting the mid-stakes games and up you’ll find players with thousands of hours of experience ready and able to pick your game apart.

That being said, there are plenty of noobs at the micro-stakes who saw that Bill Ivey guy on the TV and thought poker would be fun to lose a few hundred bucks a week at.

Basically, pick your tables and stakes well and you can find very beatable games. No-Limit games are still soft, but more difficult than your average online poker room.

Players looking for softer games should consider Omaha and the mixed games also.

Rake

The rake at Full Tilt Poker is slightly higher than the industry average, with a 5% rake collected in tight intervals. In No-Limit and Pot-Limit games, a maximum of $1 is taken out of the 5¢/10¢ games.

At higher limits, Full Tilt Poker has a max. rake of $3, and the rake structure is similar to most other sites. For Limit games, the maximum rake is 50¢ up to 50¢/$1 stakes. The max. rake is $1 at $1/$2 stakes, and $3 at $2/$4 and higher stakes.

Full Tilt also follows a standard “no flop, no drop” rake policy.

Support

Support response time and quality are both very good at Full Tilt Poker, and e-mails are often answered almost immediately. Some support lag has been known to occur at times, however, due to the high influx of players or during a large software update.

Financial Security

Excellent. Full Tilt Poker is backed and owned by some of the biggest names in the business and has no reported issues. Top score.
