Full Tilt Software
Full Tilt’s online poker software is unique in that it was designed by the pros, for the players. Top named pros such as Phil Ivey, Chris Ferguson and Howard Lederer provided priceless insight to the design process of the poker client, making it not just a great poker room but the best software in the game to meet the needs of a poker player.
For Windows PC or MAC players you can download the software directly from FullTiltPoker.com. For alternative operating systems, there are options, but you’ll need to use the WINE program which allows a variety of operating systems the ability to run Windows PC software. The download should take less than a minute on a high-speed connection. Signing up for a new account is quick and painless, prompting you for essential information and an email confirmation.
Once you’re started you’ll be taken to a streamlined, constantly updated poker lobby with detailed information available for whatever game you’re looking for.
Prominently displayed in the main lobby are individual tabs for specific types of games. Hold’Em, Omaha Hi/Lo, Omaha Hi, Stud Hi/Lo, Stud Hi, Razz and Mixed Games are the first options, followed by game styles such as Tournaments and Sit N Go. Unique to Full Tilt is an additional tab labeled “Pro Chat”. Under this tab you’ll find dozens of scheduled chats where players can interact with their favorite pro, get answers to specific questions and learn from the best. You’re allowed to ask pros whatever you’d like or search through past chats to see what they’ve already answered.
Even the lobby is fully customizable on Full Tilt. Click the lobby tab at the top of the software and choose from one of three options to change the set up and design. Classic View is the standard and probably the most familiar version of the software. Basic and Standard offer additional search options and a more modern, sleek appearance. Toggling between the versions is instantaneous and doesn’t appear to slow the client down at all.
If you’re playing with Real Money, finding the cashier is easy enough with a large button shaped like a Casino Chip, clearly labeled “Cashier”. Another cool widget in the main lobby keeps players aware of how many players are currently logged on and how many games are currently underway.
As the only software designed by the pros, it’s easy to see why Full Tilt is among the top two poker sites in the world, and growing every day.
