Full Tilt High Stakes Review

Fulltiltpoker.com has a very popular high stakes poker room.  To play the high limit games you must be a regular, as Full Tilt will not allow any player to sit at the high stakes table.  Their customized security makes you email them so they can do a background check on your table play before sitting down at the higher limit tables.

There are a lot of professionals that play nightly such as Phil Ivey, Mike Matusou, John Juanda, Patrik Antonious, and many online pros.  This is just to name a few.  These pros draw a lot of action to the high stakes tables and of course most of the internet sharks play here as well so watch out, they are the best in the world.

The $50/100 NL games usually are not full unless Phil Ivey is playing.  Generally there are a bunch of $25/50 NL cash games going on.  Most players enter with $10,000 in cash at the $50/100 NL games and $5,000 for the $25/50 NL tables.  The $300/600 games are relatively new so not a lot of people play those stakes.  There is actually a $500/1000 NL cap table. Lately they’ve been playing a lot of mixed games as well for high limit poker.

The Limit high stakes games are not as popular.  It is hard to get players to play at the $1000/2000 tables because you need such a big bank roll.
