Full Tilt Poker Download

Full Tilt is one of the most well-known digital poker clients, and is currently the second in terms of overall traffic in all of online poker. Full Tilt is the remote destination for many of the most famous poker players, including Jordan Morgan, Phil Ivey, Jennifer Harman, Tom Dwan, Allan Cunningham, David Benyamine and Howard Lederer. FullTiltPoker.net features excellent software, strong tournament play, a wide variety of games including their recently introduced and ultra-popular Rush Poker, and the highest stakes cash games found on the internet. One of the most famous internet poker tournament series, the FTOPS, also is held on on Full Tilt Poker. Perhaps most important, they are one of the few rooms to stand behind their American players following the UIGEA ordeal and offering American poker online.

On top of all that goodness, they have one of the best sign on bonuses around. For all new players, Full Tilt Poker will double your initial buy-in of up to $600. How do you cash in on this amazing Full Tilt bonus? Just enter the referral code “MAXBONUS600” when creating your account to qualify. You will have 120 days to clear the whole bonus, which will be placed into your account in segments of either 10% of the total bonus or $20 – whichever is the smallest. Let’s say, if you deposit $100, you will receive a $100 bonus. This will be released in $10 chunks. If you deposit $600, you are in for a $600 bonus to be doled out in $20 increments.

Nothing free is ever quite as good as it seems, though. How long this takes will swing wildly according to which real money games you play. The bonus is unlocked at a rate of $0.06 per Full Tilt Point (FTP), which you earn by spending time with Full Tilt’s cash games. So, let’s say you deposited $600 and became eligible for a bonus of $600. It will take a total of $600/$0.06 = 10,000 FTPs  if you want to clear your complete bonus. Now if you play cash games, you’ll have to keep in mind that for each dollar taken in rake every player dealt in for that hand will get 1 point. That translates into a rake of $10,000 in order to release the entire package while participating in cash games, which is not as much as it sounds. Naturally, the higher the stakes, the faster the bonus will be yours. If you sit at $25 No Limit, you will need approximately 156,187 poker hands of Full Ring or 108,652 hands of 6-max before you get the complete bonus. If 50NL is your thing, it will take you a total of approximately 75,727 hands of Full Ring or 55,533 hands of 6-max play to earn your prize. Bear in mind that these are extreme totals calculated, and that in reality no player will play only one type of game like that. So, let these projections act as a guide.

In tournament play, every $1 you pay in entry fees results earns you 7 FTP. For example, if you play in the $10+$1 level, you will be required to play in about 1,428 events to clear your total bonus. Rise to the $20+$2 level and the total be cut in half. You would now need only to play 714 events!

It should then come as no surprise that by mixing stakes and entering tournaments, it will drastically lessen the total amount of poker hands.

A theoretical scenario to release the whole bonus could be as follows: 50% in $11 SNG’s, 25% in 25NL 6-max hands and 25% in 50NL Full Ring hands to clear 10,000 FTPs. This translates into approximately 714 SNGs, 27,000 hands at 25NL, and 18,500 hands at 50NL. Keep in mind that no matter which way you decide to clear your bonus, you’ve got 120 days to do so before your whole bonus expires. You’d better be ready for some extended play.

Full Tilt Poker boasts an unmatched total package. Excellent software and support, Rush Poker, and the chance to play against some of the game’s most well known faces, bolstered by the offer of the best bonuses in Internet poker.
