Full Tilt Poker is an online poker cardroom created with the involvement of a team of poker professionals, among them Howard Lederer, Phil Ivey and Chris Ferguson. Full Tilt Poker launched in June 2004, and has been growing ever since. Full Tilt Poker claims to concentrate its efforts on quality rather than quantity of players, while building the core of a loyal audience. One popular feature of the site is a "Tips from the Pros" newsletters which includes tips from the professional players associated with the cardroom.
"Team Full Tilt", the pro players who play regularly on the site, consists of Lederer, Ivey, Ferguson, John Juanda, Jennifer Harman, Phil Gordon, Erick Lindgren, Erik Seidel, Clonie Gowen, Andy Bloch, and Mike Matusow. In 2006, they were joined by The Hendon Mob (Joe Beevers, Ram Vaswani, Barny and Ross Boatman.)
Full Tilt offers both Windows and Mac software. The Mac software offers the same advantages as the PC software, in which players interact with other users, as well as the pros, on the same servers the PC users are on.
Games offered include Texas hold 'em, Omaha High and Hi-Lo, Razz, Seven Card Stud and Stud Hi-Lo.
Tournaments take place throughout the day, and often include particpation from one of the Team Full Tilt pros. Freeroll tournaments are common, and sit'n'gos are offered for one and two tables.
