Software

Full Tilt just recently updated their software and it runs very smooth and the design is sleek. The new advanced filters allow you to find exactly what you are looking for very easily. Full Tilt also added a hand replayer to the software so you can replay key hands in your tournament during breaks to study your opponents or see where you went wrong. Full Tilt allows you to multi-table up to 18 tables at a time so if you want a lot of action Full Tilt is the place for you.

Competition

Full Tilt is such a big poker room that there are too many players and styles to really say what the competition is. If you table select well you will be able to find some fishy tables, but all-in-all the competition is pretty average.

Support

Full Tilt currently only offers email support.
