Full Tilt was launched in 2004 and has a number of professional poker players associated with it. These players help market the site and also contribute to the design of the site. Full Tilt is its own poker room and not part of another network, but still attracts a very high volume of players.

The Software

Unquestionably one of the best platforms there is. Full Tilt has been upgraded several times since launch and each time it improves. The input of the professional players has no doubt helped and Full Tilt always seem receptive to suggestions from their players. The lobby is clear and very user-friendly. It's easy to sort the list of games to find the ones you're looking for. A range of user-defined options and the cashier screen are also accessible from the lobby.

One of the best features is the instant animated hand history option. Up to the last fifty hands you've played at any table are stored and easily accessed during play. This makes it very easy to review recent hands you've played.

The tables are resizable, so multi-tabling is not difficult. You can also change the look and feel of the tables you're playing with a number of options - including the fun animated avatars with changing emotions.

Overall, one the most attractive, user-friendly and option-laden poker rooms you will find on the net today.
