Online Poker » Poker Site Review: Full Tilt Poker

There is no escaping the ambitious marketing efforts of Full Tilt Poker—especially if you watch any amount of television. Fortunately for them, the advertising hasn’t been in vain. Competent players have been flocking to the site, and Full Tilt has quickly become a powerhouse in the world of online poker.

Since its 2004 launch, the Full Tilt Poker room has also managed to secure a large number of endorsements from the pros, including Phil Ivey, Chris Ferguson (Jesus), Howard Lederer (The Professor), Jennifer Harman, Phil Gordon, Clonie Gowen, Andy Bloch, John Juanda, Erik Seidel, Erick Lindgren, and Mike Matusow.

This has been one of the major draws of the site, as it gives everyday players a chance to challenge the top dogs and sharpen poker skills in the process.

If you haven’t stopped by Full Tilt yet to see what the fuss is about, you should. The site is worth looking into, especially if you are a serious player.

As mentioned above, the big draw for the site is the pros. Not only do they supply the site visitors with valuable playing tips, they also play exclusively at Full Tilt (when they play online). This gives you a chance to sit at the same table as some of the biggest and baddest players in the biz. Imagine going head to head with Jesus or The Professor or one of the other big name poker players that you have, so far, only watched and admired from afar.
