Full Tilt Online Poker Series

This entry will offer another reason to support American poker online and play at Full Tilt Poker. The highly anticipated Full Tilt Online Poker Series (FTOPS) got under way around a week ago, and it’s something that all MTT players should be taking part in. There is a total guaranteed prize pool of $18 million over 30 events, a huge amount of money to any poker player out there. You’ve only missed a few events, so I definitely encourage you to get into the action and help support American poker online.

I hope you don’t mind some variety because this series has plenty of it. You’ll find plenty of different Hold Em events, from turbos to shootouts and everything in between. If you’d rather play Omaha, Stud, or mixed games, you’ll be in business too. You shouldn’t find yourself bored with the different tournament structures. You’ll have your regular full-ring version of course, but get ready to also play games such as the one rebuy and one add-on or the knockout event. There’s just no reason be without a Full Tilt Poker download at this point because there is seriously something for everyone in this tournament series.

A buy-in to one of these events is anywhere from $100+$9 to $2,000+$100. You’ll find a different prize pool for every event as well, with Stud starting at the lowest with $100k and the main event the highest at $3 million. Now if you’re a smart player with a small bankroll and you can’t play in these events due to bankroll management, Full Tilt has come up with a great solution. I’m excited to tell you about MiniFTOPS, an MTT series that is similar to FTOPS but you’ll only need to pay 10% as much to buy-in. You’ll be happy to hear that you won’t be playing for just 10% of the prize pools, though – the guarantee for MiniFTOPS is an impressive $7 million! MiniFTOPS will take place starting May 7th.

To encourage as many people as possible to make a poker deposit into their site, Full Tilt has some extra prizes for those who win these tournaments. For starters, anyone that makes an FTOPS final table receives a limited edition FTOPS jacket. If you go even further and win the event, you also receive a special FTOPS jersey (colored gold) and a gold jersey avatar to highlight your win at the Full Tilt tables. If you’re a really high achiever, though, you won’t be satisfied unless you place first on the FTOPS leaderboard. The leaderboard winner receives a custom avatar and then for the next FTOPS, they receive free entries to every event except the two-day tournament!

If you’re reading this and for some reason you haven’t made that Full Tilt Poker download yet, FTOPS should be enough to convince you to make the plunge. Between the regular series and MiniFTOPS, you’ll have the chance to win a chunk of $25 million. If you’ve just made your download, you’ll be able to clear a bunch of your Full Tilt Poker bonus while playing in these events. Good luck at the tables!
