Full Tilt Poker has been trying to elevate their status to their largest online poker room for years. They have always stood in the shadow of their arch-rival Pokerstars, a very long shadow to say the least. Fulltilt Poker has taken steps during the last 6 months to close the gap with Pokerstars and they have worked out much better than anyone anticipated. The Pokerstars Vs Full Tilt Poker debate has changed quite a bit recently. The colossal growth Fulltilt has seen recently is only the beginning of a push to steal the title of the world's largest and most popular online poker room. This 2011 review of Full Tilt Poker will cover every aspect of this poker room from the perspective of someone who has always favored Poker Stars, until recently. Signing up at Fulltilt Poker though this site will entitle you to an exclusive bonus and incentive package that you cannot get directly or though another poker portal.

Since the 4th quarter of 2010 Full Tilt Poker has been making major improvements to their software, promotions, game variety, tournament selection and loyalty program. I can hardly keep up with their innovations anymore. It seems like every week FTP is offering something new or drastically improving existing features. Their hard work has not been without reward though. They have been gaining on their arch-rival Pokerstars and if the current trend continues they may overtake Stars as the largest online poker room. This section is dedicated to the most recent news from Fulltilt Poker.
For years Full Tilt Poker's VIP program was a joke. It really wasn't a VIP program at all. You just got FTP's for playing and you could buy stuff with them, not much of a VIP program. That has all changed. The Blackcard was originally launched towards the end of 2010. At first there were only two levels, Blackcard member or not a Blackcard member. In 2011 they added two new levels, turning this primitive loyalty program into something that can compete with others. The major benefit for each level is earning Full Tilt Points at a faster rate. The Blackcard still needs a lot of work if they want to compete with the fabled VIP program at Pokerstars but they are off to a good start. Here is a breakdown of the benefits for each level in Fulltilt Poker's Blackcard VIP program.
Maintaining your Blackcard status at Fulltilt is pretty easy. If you fall below the 500 point rolling average you will have 50 days to bring it back up. If you are a level 2 or 3 player and you fall below the 1,500 or 3,000 you will not loose your status or any of the benefits as long as you can maintain the 500 point average. So in a way all you need to do is play hard for a little while and get to the 3X or 4X level and you can slow it down and still receive all of the benefits. The image to the right is the Blackcard Status meter which will show you your rolling 100 day average.
Rush Poker is not a new game. It is not a turbo table that gives you a few seconds to act. Rush Poker is a totally unique concept that is patented by Fulltilt Poker and can only be found there. What are the most boring aspects of playing poker? Waiting for hands to play out when you are not in them and waiting for the action to come to you if you plan on folding. Rush Poker eliminates both of these. You will join a pool of other players. When you receive crappy cards you can "quick fold" and get transferred to a new table with a new hand and new players. No more waiting for the action to come to you. No more watching others play. You can play 300% faster at the Rush tables compared to a regular ring table. You will have the same amount of time to act so you will not feel rushed at all. Let's face it, a vast majority of starting hands are garbage. You can be dealt 10-20 hands per minute and await on the monsters like AA, KK, QQ and AK. Blinds are random in Rush Poker to keep everything fair. You can play Texas Hold'em, Omaha and Omaha HL in the Rush format.
Full Tilt Poker has bypassed Pokerstars as the room with the largest selection of card games. Their latest major software update included the addition of five new poker games. I have added a list of all of the card games offered by Full Tilt Poker below.

Most of these games are available in fixed, pot and no limit formats. Full Tilt Poker is the home of high stakes poker but they also cater to micro-small stakes players as well. Stakes start out as low as $.01/.$02 to $3,000/$6,000. I love watching the Red Pro's play high stakes 10-Game poker with pots exceeding $100,000.
The online poker banking system has seen some major changes in the last year or so. Full Tilt Poker is home to the fastest cash outs in 2011. Pokerstars and Tilt used to be about the same but Pokerstars has recently starting having regular processor issues and their support gets more incompetent every time I'm forced to interact with them. Full Tilt Poker accepts e-check deposits, credit card deposits and several e-wallets. Between the e-checks and credit cards U.S. players are guaranteed a successful deposit at Fulltilt Poker. It doesn't matter where you live, you will not have an issue funding your Full Tilt account.
Withdrawing money is even easier believe it or not. E-check cashouts will be in your bank in 24-36 hours and bankwire can take as little as 12-24 hours. Checks are also very fast as they use the fastest delivery service available. If you have one of their accepted e-wallets you can expect the money to be in your account within 1-2 hours.
In 2011 Fulltilt Poker is still only offering e-mail support but response times are down to a couple hours. A few years back it was a couple days so they have made some big improvements.
