To unlock your ticket to the freeroll you must cash in super turbo sit and go’s.  There are four parts of your ticket that you must unlock and each cash you achieve will unlock either one or two parts of the ticket.  If the super turbo sng had a buy-in of under $5 then you will unlock one piece of the ticket, but if you cashed in a tournament with a buy-in of over $5 you will unlock two pieces of the ticket.

Unlocking this ticket should be extremely easy and not very time consuming, considering the average length of a super turbo sit and go is only about fifteen minutes long.  This promotion is easy to do and there are $100,000 up for grabs in added value if you play a few super turbo tourneys.  I personally love super turbo sng’s so I’ll be playing them regardless, but this is a great opportunity for you to have some fast paced poker fun for positive ROI!

If you don’t yet have an account at Full TIlt you should sign up using a Full Tilt referral code in order to get the best bonus possible at Full Tilt Poker.  See you at the super turbo tables!

What is Rush Poker?

Rush Poker is the new cash game style that Full Tilt created, which allows players to constantly be in a hand.  Rush Poker is the way poker was meant to be played.

Every player at a certain limit is placed into a giant group that is constantly matching players into hands when they are not involved in a hand.  This means that when you fold your hand you will automatically be moved to a new table with new players and begin a new hand.  Whichever player at the new table has gone the longest without placing a blind becomes the new big blind.

The game is great!  If you aren’t a player at Full Tilt yet, you should definitely sign up using Full Tilt Poker referral code THEFULLTILT and try out the game.  If you complete your normal sign up bonus by March 12th you can even get the extra $50 bonus being given to everyone!

Full Tilt Big Thumbs Up

Full Tilt is definitely moving up in the poker world and this new Rush Poker cash game variation combined with the free $50 to show they care for players could be what they need to catch PokerStars in the online poker industry.  Only time will tell.  Until then I’m going to be clearing my free $50 bonus at Full Tilt Poker!

There are even satellites into these tournaments for players who only have a couple of bucks left in their Full Tilt accounts.  These satellite tourneys range from 150 FTP’s to $1.50 tournaments.

These tournaments are only $5 + $0.50 so there is no reason not to give yourself the shot at a big score to start off the new year.  For players with rakeback accounts the fee is even less because you will be receiving 27% of that $0.50 back.  These little big tournaments are going to be a ton of fun and they will be some of the largest tournaments ever held online.  Just to account for the guaranteed prize pool, 50,000 players must enter each of these four tournaments.  With that many players there is definitely some big money to be won for the top 1000 or so players!

Sundays are lazy days anyways so if you are bored you might as well try to turn $5 into a small fortune during your afternoon!  Small risk, huge rewards!  That’s what Full Tilt’s little big tournaments are all about.

You can try to win your $14.5K prize package every week at Full Tilt Poker until the final tournament on January 9th.  Each qualifier has a buy-in of $500 + $50.  Of course there are a ton of satellites into each of these qualifiers, which means no matter how big your bankroll is you can take a stab at playing in the Aussie Millions.  Every week at least 1 prize package is guaranteed, with 2 being guaranteed every other week.  The final tournament on January 9th will have 5 guaranteed prize packages.

Full Tilt Poker is definitely the best poker room online if you are looking to qualify for the Aussie Millions this year.  If you don’t have a Full Tilt account yet, make sure you sign up for a Full Tilt Poker rakeback account.  This means you would receive 27% rakeback from Full Tilt.  For example, if you have a rakeback account you would receive $13.50 back from the $50 qualifier tournament fee.  This adds up over time.  Get your Full Tilt rakeback account now!

In order to claim your free poker bonus all you have to do is go to “requests” and “check my bonus offer”.  You will then be able to opt in to the $100 bonus promotion.  You have 30 days from the time you accepted the bonus until it expires.  The bonus is released in $10 increments every time you earn 167 Full Tilt Points, so even if you don’t think you’ll be able to clear the entire amount you should still opt into the promotion and earn as much of the bonus as you can.

This is a very lucrative offer being made by Full Tilt Poker and I urge every player to take advantage of it.  If you don’t yet have an account at Full Tilt Poker, I’m sorry, but you do not qualify for this offer.  However, by just signing up at Full Tilt you can claim a 100% up to $600 bonus.  Use Full Tilt Poker referral code ‘THEFULLTILT‘ when signing up to receive this bonus!

Like the past FTOPS events the winner of each tournament will receive a limited edition FTOPS gold jersey and all players who make the final table will receive an FTOPS jacket.  These are very sought after items and if you win one you will have marked your place in Full Tilt Poker history.  On top of this the top finisher on the FTOP XIII leaderboard will win a custom avatar (worth approximately $1 Million Full Tilts Points) as well as entry into each of the next FTOPS series events excluding the 2 day event.

Full Tilt will also be bringing back the popular FTOPS satellite challenge where you win either tournament dollars equivalent to either 2 buy-ins or 1 buy-in if you are won of the 2 players to win the most satellites into the particular event.  Also, Full Tilt has come out with a new promotion attached to FTOPS, which is the FTOPS challenges.  These challenges will be completed by doing in game tasks.  The prizes for completing the challenges have not yet been determined, but they are sure to be something to do with FTOPS or MiniFTOPS events.

Speaking of MiniFTOPS, from September 9th to 20th Full Tilt will be running the exact same 25 events, but the buy-ins will be 1/10th the size.  This will give players with smaller bankrolls a chance to win the coveted Silver MiniFTOPS jerseys.  MiniFTOPS XIII guarantees $3 Million in cash prizes and is sure to draw some big fields of lower buy-in players.

Overall, both FTOPS XIII and MiniFTOPS XIII will be fun events for all players involved.  If you haven’t signed up to Full Tilt Poker yet, this would be the perfect time.  Use Full Tilt Poker referral code “THEFULLTILT” when signing up in order to receive a Full Tilt Poker bonus of up to $600.

This tournament is very similar to the current PokerStars monthly $1M Turbo Takedown where all players must buy-in with just FPP’s.  Just because it’s a stolen idea though, doesn’t mean it’s not a good one.  I really like the sounds of this tournament because it gives all players a chance to turn those FTP’s that they don’t know what to do with into potentially a lot of cash.

The first tournament of this nature will be held on June 21st at 2:15pm EST.  There are already many Full Tilt pro’s entered including Gavin Smith and Lee Watkinson.  If you aren’t signed up at Full Tilt Poker yet you should download Full Tilt Poker now and start earning Full Tilt Points.  If you don’t get enough by the 21st there is always next months $250K guarnateed tourney.

Last year the final four included Andy Bloch, Brian Hastings, David Singer and “whitelime”.  “Whitelime” was the only player remaining that was not a Full Tilt Poker red pro.  “Whitelime” did make the finals but eventually lost to champion David Singer.

This event is going to bring out all kinds of rail birds because all of the best heads up players in the world will be in the line-up.  Phil Ivey, Patrik Antonius, Durrrr, Chris Ferguson and more are all sure to be in attendance.  The winner will walk away with a huge payday and the title of champion.

There will likely be sweat tournaments again on Sunday where if you win the tournament of the player that wins the heads up title you win a bonus prize.  The sweat tournaments will be great value for all players.

If you don’t have a Full Tilt Poker account you should sign up for one now using Full Tilt referral code “THEFULLTILT“.  If you use this bonus code Full Tilt will award you a 100% up to $600 bonus on your first deposit.

The overall leaderboard is also in effect, with the top 2 players from each of the 4 buy-in categories meeting in a $5k 8 player tournament on the 17th of January.  And lets not forget about the raffle.  Every time you win a sit and go during Sit and go madness you earn one raffle ticket towards the more than 1000 prizes being given away in the raffle. 

Just make sure the tournaments are labeled in green and multitable like a madman for your chance at some of this extra cash being given out by Full Tilt.  This is a great promotion for sit’n'go players who are used to multi-tabling.

The buy-in for the tournament is 2000 FTP and there will be many satellite tournaments running from now up until the 27th where players can satellite into the event for as little as 50 FTP.  I know this is the path I’m going to try to take, with my FTP total dwindled down after some recent Full Tilt clothing purchases you will possibly be able to find me in a 500 point satellite looking to play in this great value tournament 2 days after Christmas.

Just to add some perspective, a Full Tilt poker hat costs 4000 FTP points, so to play in a $100K guaranteed tournament is only costing about half of a hat.  To me, this is a hard decision, but that’s only because I desperately need a new hat.  But to most people this is an easy decision.  Go for the cash!

On the other hand, there is already 4500 or so entrants, with a max of 7000, so I have a feeling that this tournament will max out soon.  This means if you want to register you should do so very soon.  It also means that the 2000 points are worth roughly $14.  Now this makes the hat vs tournament decision a little bit harder, because $28 for a hat isn’t that bad.

So now I’m back to the question.  Hat or tournament?  Only because I have only 500 FTP I’m choosing satellite into tournament.  If I had 4000 points I would choose hat, but that’s just me.  The choice is yours and if you decide to play in the Holiday $100K at Full Tilt, I wish you good luck!

Full Tilt Poker is back with another 25K heads up championship, this time in Pot Limit Omaha.  Once the event plays down to the semi-finals, leaving 4 players, sweat tournaments will be set up, where you can play in $10 multi-table tournaments of the pro you think will win the heads up championship.  If your pro goes on to win the heads up tournament and you make the final table in the sweat tournament you win a share of the $5000 in added money as shown below:

1st – $1500
2nd – $1000
3rd – $800
4th – $600
5th – $400
6th – $250
7th – $200
8th – $150
9th – $100

You can only play in one of the remaining pro’s sweat tournaments and cheer them on as you work your way to the final table.  The sweat tournaments will start at 3:30pm EST on Sunday, September 7th.

Overview
I played in the Brian Hastings sweat tournament during the 25K NL hold’em heads up championship and have to say it was fun flipping back and forth between my tournament and Brian’s heads up tournament.  David Singer went on to win that heads up championship, and if memory serves me right, the least number of players joined his sweat tournament, which shows he was looked at as the underdog.  If you enjoy watching pro’s play heads up, and are interested in playing a great value tournament, you should definitely play the sweat tournaments.

At several two-hour intervals throughout the day, Full Tilt hosts various types of happy hours. My favourite is the late night 11pm to 1am anything goes happy hour. This is a normal poker playing time for me anyways, but with the happy hour promotion, I feel like I would be crazy to miss it.

Full Tilt Points can basically be considered rakeback, because they carry monetary value. With your Full Tilt Points you can do anything from buying a stylish Full Tilt cap, winning seats in large tournaments, to even purchasing a Mini Cooper S. To me, these happy hour times just can’t be passed up.

It’s funny, if I’m on Full Tilt playing some NL hold ‘em and then 7pm rolls around, I will immediately get out of all my games, and start playing Limit hold ‘em, because as everyone knows …… Limit hold ‘em happy hour is from 7pm to 9pm daily! Even though it’s not my game of choice, I still feel compelled to take advantage of this promotion.I thoroughly enjoy this Full Tilt happy hour promotion and it looks like it will continue right until the end of the year. To me that means a lot of happy hours playing at Full Tilt. So just keep an eye out for those smiley yellow faces at the following times and you too will get hooked on this promotion.
“Early Morning” – 6am to 8am – All ring games and tournaments
“Ring Game” – 3pm to 5pm – All ring games
“Limit Ring Game” – 7pm to 9pm – Limit ring games
“Late Night” – 11pm to 1 am – Anything goes

*These are the mid-week times. The times change slightly on weekends.

If you are signing up as a new player at Full Tilt poker, make sure you use a Full Tilt referral code, to ensure that you receive the best bonus possible.

These 25 events include every kind of poker Full Tilt offers, as well as every type of tournament. This includes stud, Omaha, razz, HORSE, limit hold ‘em and of course many types of no limit hold ’em tournaments such as shootouts, six handed, heads up, and more.
The two big events that will be getting the most attention through this FTOPS are once again the $2500 – 2-day – $2 Million Guaranteed hosted by Patrik Antonius, and of course the massive FTOPS XI $2.5 Million Guaranteed Main Event on the 17th of August. To play in the main event it will cost you $500 + $35 or you can win your way through one of the many, many, many satellites that will be running.

Once again the popular Satellite Challenge promotion will be in full swing, with players trying to win the most satellites to any particular FTOPS event. The player who wins the most seats to an event receives the T$ equivalent of two more buy-ins to that event and second place receives the equivalent of one more buy-in. I have found that certain events just aren’t tried for that much, so this year I’m going to try to find an event that isn’t sought after, and go for the win.Wish me luck !

I will be trying to win my best satellites over and over and then use the T$ to play in as many FTOPS tournaments as I possibly can. I’ve played in a few FTOPS tournaments in the past and haven’t faired too well, so I’m thinking I must be due. (ha the gambler’s fallacy at its finest )
