Special features:
Not so much a special feature but just special is that you
can play against and chat to the professionals on Full Tilt poker giving an
experience that no other online poker site provides.
What we liked:
Pretty much everything. Not as classy as PKR or as
professional as Betfred but with a general mix of the two plus the lure of playing
against top world-renowned players is too hard to ignore. If you wish to really
test your game this is the place to go.
What we didn’t like:
Full Tilt poker tends to be a little too hard for beginner
players to make money or learn the ins and outs although if you want to learn
to play like a pro this is the place to go.
Score: 9/10
