Full Tilt Poker Full Review
Game Variety, Limits, and Traffic: A
Full Tilt Poker offers 6 poker games: Hold'em, Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo,
7 Card Stud, 7 Card Stud Hi/Lo, and Razz. The tables range from $.05/$.10
to $50/$100 in NLHE and $.25/$.50 to $200/400 in LHE. There is decent
action normally at the $25/$50 NL game, where many of the top players come
to play. The traffic is decent, but centered in lower stakes hold'em.
There are about 1500 ring game players and 6000 tournament players at peak
hours.
Software: B+
The software at Full Tilt is mediocre. Different avatars are offered
to the player which initially give the game a personalized feel. The
avatars can show limited emotion, however, after time this feature can
become somewhat annoying. Full Tilt offers the standard notetaking and
statistics. Overall, the game runs pretty smoothly. A good feature is
that Full Tilt is compatible with Mac software.
Softness of Games: C+
Players at Full Tilt are on average better than most online poker
players. Flop seen percentages are normally pretty lower than those of
other sites, staying in the 30s. A long, grinding style was the most
effective style of play for me at Full Tilt.
Promotions: B
Full Tilt offers a very large, attractive deposit bonus of 100% up to
$600. However, this bonus is pretty difficult to clear, especially at
lower stakes. Every dollar in rake at the table is worth one point.
100 points will clear $6 and the bonus is cleared in increments of $20.
Partial points are offered for pots raked less than a dollar.
After clearing the deposit bonus, players can often find large reload
bonuses worth up to $300. While at Full Tilt, it is possible to be
clearing bonus almost the entire time.
Deposits/Withdrawals: B
Full Tilt accepts deposits from VISA, MasterCard, NETeller, FirePay,
and Money transfer. Cashout options include NETeller, FirePay and credit
cards. The average NETeller cashout time is 1-2 days.
Support: C
Full Tilt currently offers only email support. Support questions are
normally answered very thoroughly, but may take a long time to be
answered.
