Charlie Greenwood sucks on Full Tilt. Full Tilt Poker is an online poker cardroom launched in June 2004 with the involvement of a team of poker professionals, among them Howard Lederer, Phil Ivey, Andy Bloch, Mike Matusow, Jennifer Harman and Chris Ferguson.[1] The service is split among two web domains, fulltiltpoker.com, which uses real money, and fulltiltpoker.net, which uses only play money.
Full Tilt offers both Windows and Mac software with equal features. It has also been successfully run under the Linux OS using Wine.
Games offered include Texas hold 'em, Omaha High and Hi-Lo, Razz, Seven Card Stud, Stud Hi-Lo, and mixed games including H.O.R.S.E., HOSE, and HA (Texas and Omaha).
Tournaments take place throughout the day and often include participation from one of the Team Full Tilt pros. Freeroll tournaments are common. "Sit and Go" tournaments are offered for one, two, five, ten, and twenty tables. Tables usually seat 8 or 9 players in each in these tournaments, depending on the game type, though some have six players per table. There are also heads up "Sit and Go" in both 2-player and split 4-player formats.
Jerry Yang, winner of the main event of the 2007 World Series of Poker, is perhaps the most recent notable player found playing at Full Tilt Poker. [2]
The Full Tilt Online Poker Series (FTOPS) is Full Tilt's poker tournament series.
Team Full Tilt
"Team Full Tilt," made up of the pro players who play regularly on the site and are considered full-fledged members, includes professional players Lederer, Ivey, Bloch, Ferguson, Matusow, Harman, Perry Friedman, John Juanda, Phil Gordon, Erick Lindgren, Erik Seidel, Clonie Gowen, Gus Hansen and Allen Cunningham.
In addition to Team Full Tilt, several notable pros are "Full Tilt Pros," who are sponsored by the site but are not full-fledged members. This group includes Farzad Bonyadi, David Chiu, John D'Agostino, Layne Flack, Rafe Furst, David Grey, Berry Johnston, Jeff Madsen, Paul Wasicka, David Benyamine, Erica Schoenberg, Mark Vos, Brad Booth, Nenad Medic, Eddy Scharf, Carlos Mortensen, Chip Jett, Karina Jett, David Oppenheim, Roland de Wolfe, Robert Mizrachi, Michael Craig, Andrew Black, Huck Seed, Gavin Smith and Lee Watkinson .
The Hendon Mob (Joe Beevers, Ram Vaswani, Barny and Ross Boatman) also makes its online home at Full Tilt.[3]

Features
Full Tilt has "cap limit" games which are played identically to pot-limit or no-limit games, except that the total amount a player can bet in any single hand is capped at 30 times the big blind. A type of tournament added in November 2007 are "Knockout Bounty Tournaments". In these tournaments, a small percentage of the buy in is awarded to the player for each opponent he or she knocks out.
They offer hand history files for analysis, discussion and conversion using a poker hand converter.
An optional "racetrack" view of the table flattens the 3D model in favor of a flat table window.
Another site feature is the "Tips from the Pros" newsletter which includes tips from the professional players associated with the cardroom.
Full Tilt on television
Full Tilt Poker is or has been the principal sponsor of a number of poker television programs, including:
US players
On September 29 2006, the U.S. Congress passed the Safe Port Act which includes otherwise unrelated anti-gambling language known as the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act. Though a number of major online cardroom operators closed their doors to U.S. players as a result of the legislation, Full Tilt Poker continues to offer its services to U.S. players. The company has stated that poker is a game of skill, and that the legislation does not apply to Full Tilt's operations.[4]
FullTiltPoker.net hosts only play money games. These same games are available through Full Tilt Poker alongside the games played for real money.
