Full Tilt - I'm a big fan...
I first heard about at last year's WSOP, before the site even launched. The pros who are affiliated with it were wearing all the gear, and I talked to a couple of them about it... Clonie Gown in particular. She told me all about it and why it was going to be better than the sites already out there.
It was quite a while before they went live with Real Money, and for one reason or another, I never got around to opening up an account there. Well, I finally did, and I made my first deposit today. Let me tell you, so far, I am liking this site. They don't have the most players online - that's for sure... but I didn't have any trouble finding a game. They also have limits I like that you don't find elsewhere, like 8/16. When I logged on, Phil Ivey was sitting at 2 tables: a 25/50 NL table and a 100.200 limit table... Considering I made a miniscule $600 despoit (I've already earned $10 of the $600 bonus I have coming), I thought it might be a bit premature to sit down with him. Anyhoo, I like the interface, and the 5/10 limit game I first sat at was one of the softest I have EVER seen. I took some sick hits (2-5 out suckouts), and still finished up about $100. Then I went into a $400 NL room ($2 and $4 blinds), and did fairly well in there too. I took a peek at their tourneys, and they look good. I'll have to try one soon. Anyway, for those of you who haven't checked out the site yet, you should. Here's my brand new, fancy schmancy affiliate link: = For those of you who are regulars there, I have a question for you: Is there a way to get your Hand Histories emailed to you? That's my only complaint so far... |

Also, PokerTracker doesn't support it.

Full Tilt is the only site I've played so far... Playing low limits so I'm still tackling my bonus. I love the interface, and the players are soft for sure.
As Aeq said, PT doesn't work there...yet. Hopefully soon. TP...not sure about the HH being emailed to you either. I'll research that. |

I've heard that clearing a bonus there is like a having a second job. Any truth to that?

It depends on how much you put in and what limits you play I think. I'm on the lower end of the spectrum. For ever dollar raked you get a point. Each point is worth .06. Up to 3 points possible per hand. Released in increments of 10% of bonus.

If I read that right it would take 1666.66 points to clear a $100 bonus? Which would be 555 hands at the MAX rake per hand. I dunno, but that seems like an awful lot of hands to clear a bonus, though I wouldn't expect a full 100% bonus to be a half hours work either.

I had heard the same thing. I played a 130ish hand session last night and cleared over $10 in bonus... at 8 cents per hand, on average (just guessing) clearing a $600 bonus will take 7500 hands. That's a lot of poker, but it's not like I'm not going to play 7500 hands anyway, so I might as well take the free $600 right?
Also, if you come up short, it's no big deal. They release it in $20 increments. So I should easily be able to knock out $20 a day by playing 250-300 hands or so... |
