History
Full Tilt Poker opened for business in July 2004 and with an aggressive marketing campaign has gradually grown to be one of the leading online poker rooms. Full Tilt sponsors some of the biggest names in poker including Phil Ivey, Howard Lederer and Phil Gordon, who can sometimes be seen playing at the tables.
Player Traffic 9/10
During peak times there can be up to 60,000 tournament and 10,000 cash game players found at the Full Tilt Poker real money tables. The cash games consist mainly of Limit or No-Limit Texas Hold'em tables.
Quality of Players 8.5/10
Historically even at lower limits the players at Full Tilt Poker tended to be quite a bit tighter than those found at most other online poker rooms. Although these tight players were not necessarily be good players it did make it much more difficulty to win than rooms with looser players. However as the room has grown in size the competition has gotten considerably easier, especially in the Omaha games.
