Just as the Internet has helped to pervade the popularity of poker into virtually every household, televised poker has created a stir of its own by revolutionizing poker tournaments. The main reason for their popularity is that tournaments allow you to play for hours in return for modest investments or even free as is in the case of freeroll tournaments. Another incentive is that the prize pool is divided amongst a certain number of players, so effectively, you do not need even to win to make money. In a poker tournament, all players start with an equal amount of chips and the game goes on until all players, except for the winner have lost all their chips. The cost of entering a tournament consists of a buy-in amount that contributes to the prize pool as well as the registration fee.
Televised poker with hole card cameras, odds calculators available on screen and expert and savvy commentators, has transitioned the game of poker leading to a poker explosion in the last few years. Although cash games are fun and enjoyable, poker tournaments are designated trendy and have truly become the rage.
On the Internet, today, you can enjoy poker tournaments in several different varieties. The basic forms of poker tournaments are single-table sit-and-go tournaments and multi-table tournaments.
We at FullTiltPoker.com see poker tournaments as an opportunity to promote poker and its popularity. We are at the forefront of poker innovation and offer you the requisite tournament shape, size and structure that you are looking for. FullTiltPoker uses the tournaments in their promotions by spicing up the experience with add-ons and extras. The good stuff starts to flow even before you seat yourself at the table. Your initial deposit is instantly matched 100% up to no less than $600. That means that of you deposit $100, you will get another $100 as bonus.
This can be achieved by unlocking, which you will do automatically when you start by playing real money raked hands and generate poker points. The more poker points you get, the higher the bonus will be that gets deposited in your real money account. The points accumulate and you will be able to uses these for other things such as joining Poker Points tourneys where real money buy-ins are replaced with poker points or exchanging them for Full Tilt Merchandise.
The Full Tilt Online Poker Series, FTOPS VI, promotion consists of a set of tournaments featuring some extremely generous prize pools. Besides the money prizes, you’ll also be able to win a custom avatar (to show off that you’re a winner to everyone) or extra tourney buy-ins.
The Aussie Millions promotion puts you face to face with the opportunity of a lifetime. You’ll get the chance to win an $18,000 package for you and a friend of yours, to one of the most prestigious live events in the world, taking place down-under. While the buy-ins for the direct qualifiers to this event are not exactly cheap, there are many cheaper satellite variants that can help you all the way to the top.
Taking on one of the Full Tilt Pros in a bounty tournament is no longer a novelty at this room, and neither is the fact that for every friend that you refer to them, you get a $100 no strings attached bonus. Access to WPT (World Poker Tour) or EPT (European Poker Tour) events is never too far out of the reach of Full Tilt Poker players. A series of satellites to these events make sure you get your shot at fame, even if the odds of you actually getting there are quite meager.
One of the most interesting promotions that the site offers is the Chris Ferguson Challenge. Poker pro Chris Ferguson shows that it’s entirely possible to turn nothing into a big pile of money on FullTiltPoker. He starts with a bare poker account and he plays his way to a minimal bankroll in freerolls. He then starts building on that, and the rest is history. He stops at $10,000 (which he’s already reached BTW) but there’s an ongoing poll at the site, which puts forth the possibility of him stopping only at either $100K or $1 million. If you reckon your bankroll management could use a bit of chiseling, keep your eyes on this challenge.

Though many found Phil Ivey’s 7th place finish at the 2009 WSOP final table disappointing, the fact remains: his WSOP run was a formidable one, and had it not been for a couple up slip-ups, we may well have seen a different champ.
If The WSOP is just around the corner, but for many Vegas is a very long way a way; a visit to Full Tilt Poker could make it that much closer.
