Full Tilt Poker formed in 2004, reached peak in 2007-2010.

Full Tilt Poker has not accepted US players since 2011.

Please see the “US player options” section below or visit my dedicated US poker rooms page for updated alternatives. They failed to pay back US players for several years and were eventually bailed out when former competitor PokerStars acquired their assets.įull Tilt Poker longer accepts US players for real-money play. More tidbits to follow and on Twitter ( one of the dealers actually said to me, “hey, you got really lucky, Donkette” - morale boost.The Insane Saga of Full Tilt Poker For US Players The real Full Tilt Poker died on Black Friday 2011 when it was shut down by US authorities. (I’m planning once a week at Sad Cedars in their ‘deep stack’ tourney, which isn’t really that deep but better than a lot of options around here.) I’m also trying to hit the big jackpot nights at The Germs, which always produce some amusing characters. I started out strong a couple of months ago - actually won a tournament at The Germs! *– but have been mostly finishing deep but out of the money in recent weeks. Looooonnnnng way to go but hopefully there will be some laughs along the way. My new goal is to improve my tournament play enough to justify entering a (low end) event at next year’s WSOP.

But now I’ve got to play at real stakes if I want to play at all … so it’s back to live play at my favorite local haunts: The Germs, Sad Cedars and Highway to Hell (along with other spots I can hit while traveling). And that means I only lost about 30 bucks when they shut down - much less than so many other people. I had managed to build up from a dollar and change to about $30 using Chris’s bankroll advice - which at least seemed very valuable.

(Given that Full Tilt now appears to be Full Bilk, and Ferguson was on the board of directors and took millions out of the company, who knows if the claims of building up from $0 to $10K were even truthful? But I digress …) The Full Tilt FBI shutdown (and now Ponzi scheme fiasco!) derailed my hopes of completing a downgraded version of the Chris Ferguson Challenge.įor those unfamiliar with the Challenge, Ferguson supposedly worked his bankroll on Full Tilt up from $0 to $10,000 on Full Tilt - twice. Took some time off from blogging here, partly because I took time of from poker altogether. Recalling this, I am even more pissed off that I couldn’t beat these characters. S checks, UnreadableMe jumps up again, shouting, all-in (!!) and shoving his chips into the pot in a big, messy flourish. Sacrilegious, who thinks about it for four years before calling. Two players later, a similarly subtle individual leaps from his seat, shouting, “Raise to 3,000!” Folds around back to Mr. He demands a count from the dealer! I’m just about call for a clock when he finally calls. He acts next - making a huge production of evaluating my (untouched) stack. Three hands in - blinds 25/50, and we started with 10,000 chips - I play my first hand UTG for raise to 200. The t-shirt was sort of a distraction from his missing teeth, but nothing could distract from his bizarre poker behavior. There was the dude wearing an “Ante, Christ” t-shirt like this (available at ‘’): My first table reminded me distinctly of the card game in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s nest. Last week there were quite a few entertaining characters there, which took the sting out of finishing barely in the top half of the field. Off to play in the weekly Kinda-Deep-Stack tourney at Sad Cedars.
