Full Tilt Poker review
Review text:
Variety of games and level of competition
Full Tilt offers an impressive amount of poker variety, including Texas Holdem, Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, Seven-Card Stud and Seven-Card Stud Hi/Lo. The site also offers offer Razz and Mixed Game tables. Their games are presented in different types, including regular ring games, turbo sit & gos and multi-table tournaments, speed tables, double stack tournaments, four player heads up sit & gos, cap games, and re-buy tournaments. With so many games and types to choose from, it’s no wonder that Full Tilt is on its way to being one of the best sites in the industry. The Omaha games are relatively easy to beat since it’s a new game for most players on the site, especially at low and mid limits.
Ring game rakes/tournament entry fees
The rake is about industry average, or sometimes slightly above. The standard 5 % is deducted from pots in cash games, with $1-cap up to $1/$2. At higher limits, the cap is $3. The tournament fees are in line with industry standard.
Traffic - ring games and tournaments
This site, as one of the fastest growing sites in the world, has an impressive player volume. At any given time, there could be up to 25,000 players logged on, and during peak hours, you’ll find 8,500 cash-game players and 50,000 tournament players. The higher the player volume, the more likely the competition will be softer, especially at sit and go tournaments. Also, the more players, the easier and quicker it will be for a user to get into the game they want to.
