FullTilt Poker Room history

Current Full Tilt Bonus Code: GPCMoney 

Full Tilt Poker is an online poker cardroom launched in June 2004 with the involvement of a team of poker professionals, among them Howard Lederer, Phil Ivey, Andy Bloch, Mike Matusow, Jennifer Harman and Chris Ferguson. One popular feature of the site is a “Tips from the Pros” newsletter which includes tips from the professional players associated with the cardroom. The service is split among two web domains, fulltiltpoker.com, which uses real money, and fulltiltpoker.net, which uses only play money.

“Team Full Tilt,” made up of the pro players who play regularly on the site and are considered full-fledged members, includes professional players Lederer, Ivey, Bloch, Ferguson, Matusow, Harman, John Juanda, Phil Gordon, Erick Lindgren, Erik Seidel, Clonie Gowen, Gus Hansen and Allen Cunningham.

In addition to Team Full Tilt, several notable pros are “Full Tilt Pros,” who are sponsored by the site but are not full-fledged members. This group includes Farzad Bonyadi, David Chiu, John D’Agostino, Layne Flack, Rafe Furst, David Grey, Berry Johnston, Jeff Madsen, Paul Wasicka, David Benyamine, Erica Schoenberg, Mark Vos, Brad Booth, Nenad Medic, Carlos Mortensen, Chip Jett, Karina Jett, Keith Sexton, Paul Sexton, David Oppenheim, Roland de Wolfe, Robert Mizrachi, Michael Craig, Shannon Elizabeth, Andrew Black, Huck Seed, Gavin Smith and Lee Watkinson .

The Hendon Mob (Joe Beevers, Ram Vaswani, Barny and Ross Boatman) also makes its online home at Full Tilt.

Full Tilt offers both Windows and Mac software with equal features. It has also been successfully run under the Linux OS using Wine.

Games offered include Texas hold ‘em, Omaha High and Hi-Lo, Razz, Seven Card Stud, Stud Hi-Lo, and mixed games including H.O.R.S.E., HOSE, and HA (Texas and Omaha).

Tournaments take place throughout the day and often include participation from one of the Team Full Tilt pros. Freeroll tournaments are common. “Sit and Go” tournaments are offered for one, two, five, ten, and twenty tables. Tables usually seat 8 or 9 players in each in these tournaments, depending on the game type, though some have six players per table. There are also heads up “Sit and Go” in both 2-player and split 4-player formats.

Jerry Yang, winner of the main event of the 2007 World Series of Poker, is perhaps the most recent notable player found playing at Full Tilt Poker. Features
In June 2006 Full Tilt Poker launched a new lobby and advanced table actions including:
New pods featuring countdown timers that more clearly display a player’s time left to act
A total pot display on the table so players can quickly determine how much has already been committed to the pot before deciding how to act
An improved slider bar in the betting window
Full Tilt has also added “cap limit” games which are played identically to pot-limit or no-limit games, except that the total amount a player can bet in any single hand is capped at 30 times the big blind.

In January 2007 they also added rebuy tournaments as well as an optional “racetrack” view of the table. This view flattens the 3D model that Full Tilt had used in the past in favor of a flat table window. Full Tilt on televisionFull Tilt Poker is or has been the principal sponsor of a number of poker television programs, including:
Learn from the Pros
Poker Championship at Red Rock
Poker After Dark
Poker Equalizer
Advertising
Full Tilt Poker has a large television advertising presence during programs which promote poker. These commercials advertise FullTiltPoker.net, which hosts only play money games. These same games are available through Full Tilt Poker alongside the games played for real money. US playersOn September 29 2006, the U.S. Congress passed the Safe Port Act. Senator Bill Frist successfully lobbied to attach unrelated anti-gambling language to the act; this language is known as the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act.

Though a number of major online cardroom operators have closed their doors to U.S. players as a result of the legislation, Full Tilt Poker continues to offer its services to U.S. players. The company has stated that poker is a game of skill, and that the recently passed legislation does not apply to Full Tilt’s operations.

Texas Holdem Poker Odds Calculations

Poker Odds Calculation for Texas Hold’em

Learning how to properly count your outs and calculate poker odds is a fundamental requirement of Texas Hold’em. While the math used to calculate odds might sound scary and over the head of a new player, it really isn’t as hard as it looks. In fact, most of the time, you only need to know elementary arithmetic to figure out your odds.

Why are poker odds so important anyhow? Knowing odds is important because it gives you an idea when you are in a good or bad situation. To illustrate:

Let’s say you and a friend are flipping a quarter and he gives you 1:1 odds that the next flip will land on heads. You already know that it will land on heads 50% of the time, and it’ll land on tails the rest of the time. In this case, he’s giving you an even bet, because nobody has a statistical advantage.

Instead, let’s say your friend just won $500 playing poker online and is on a lucky streak. He offers you 2:1 odds that the next coin flip will be heads. Would you take this bet? Hopefully you would, because the chances of heads or tails coming up are still 1:1, while he’s paying you at the 2:1 rate. Your friend is hoping to ride his luck a little longer, but if he gambles with you long enough, he’ll be losing his shirt with these kinds of odds.

In poker, there are two types of players. The first group are players who take bad odds in hopes of getting lucky. The second group are players who cash in on the good odds that are left by the first group.

Hand Odds and Poker Odds
Hand odds are your chances of making a hand in Texas Hold’em poker. For example: if you hold two hearts and there are two hearts on the flop, your hand odds for making a flush are about 2 to 1. This means that for approximately every 3 times you play this hand, you can expect to hit your flush one of those times. If your hand odds were 3 to 1, then you would expect to hit your hand 1 out of every 4 times.

Odds are given below for hitting a draw by the river with a given number of outs after the flop and turn, and examples of draws with specified numbers of outs are given.

Example: if you hold [22] and the flop does not contain a [2], the odds of hitting a [2] on the turn is 22:1 (4%). If the turn is also not a [2], the odds of hitting it on the river are again 22:1 (4%). However, the combined odds of hitting a [2] on the turn or river is 12:1 (8%). For mathematical reasons, only use combined odds (two card odds) when you are in a possible all-in situation.

Keyword Definitions

Backdoor: A straight or flush draw where you need two cards to help your hand out.
You have [A K]. Flop shows [T 2 5]. You need both a [J] and [Q] for a straight.

Overcard Draw: When you have a card above the flop.
You have [A 3]. Flop shows [K 5 2]. You need a [A] overcard to make top pair. 3 total outs.

Inside Straight Draw (aka ‘Gutshot’): When you have one way to complete a straight.
You have [J T]. Flop shows [A K 5]. You need a [Q] to complete your straight. 4 total outs.

Open Straight Draw: When you have two ways to complete a straight.
You have [5 6]. Flop shows [7 8 A]. You need a [4] or [9] to complete your straight. 8 total outs.

Flush Draw: Having two cards to a suit with two suits already on the flop.
You have [A♥ K♥]. Flop shows [7♥ 8♥ J♣]. You need any heart to make a flush. 9 total outs.
To calculate your hand odds, you first need to know how many outs your hand has. An out is defined as a card in the deck that helps you make your hand. If you hold [A♠ K♠] and there are two spades on the flop, there are 9 more spades in the deck (since there are 13 cards of each suit). This means you have 9 outs to complete your flush - but not necessarily the best hand! Usually you want your outs to count toward a nut (best hand) draw, but this is not always possible.

The quick amongst you might be wondering “But what if someone else is holding a spade, doesn’t that decrease my number of outs?”. The answer is yes (and no!). If you know for sure that someone else is holding a spade, then you will have to count that against your total number of outs. However, in most situations you do not know what your opponents hold, so you can only calculate odds with the knowledge that is available to you. That knowledge is your pocket cards and the cards on the table. So, in essence, you are doing the calculations as if you were the only person at the table - in that case, there are 9 spades left in the deck.

When calculating outs, it’s also important not to overcount your odds. An example would be a flush draw in addition to an open straight draw.

Example: You hold [J♦ T♦] and the board shows [8♦ Q♦ K♠]. A Nine or Ace gives you a straight (8 outs), while any diamond gives you the flush (9 outs). However, there is an [A♦] and a [9♦], so you don’t want to count these twice toward your straight draw and flush draw. The true number of outs is actually 15 (8 outs + 9 outs - 2 outs) instead of 17 (8 outs + 9 outs). In addition to this, sometimes an out for you isn’t really a true out. Let’s say that you are chasing an open ended straight draw with two of one suit on the table. In this situation, you would normally have 8 total outs to hit your straight, but 2 of those outs will result in three to a suit on the table. This makes a possible flush for your opponents. As a result, you really only have 6 outs for a nut straight draw. Another more complex situation follows:

Example: You hold [J♠ 8♣]o (off-suit, or not of the same suit) and the flop comes [9♠ T♥ J♣] rainbow (all of different suits). To make a straight, you need a [Q] or [7] to drop, giving you 4 outs each or a total of 8 outs. But, you have to look at what will happen if a [Q♥] drops, because the board will then show [9♠ T♥ J♣ Q♥]. This means that anyone holding a [K] will have made a King-high straight, while you hold the second-best Queen-high straight.

So, the only card that can really help you is the [7], which gives you 4 outs, or the equivalent of a gut-shot draw. While it’s true that someone might not be holding the [K] (especially in a short or heads-up game), in a big game, it’s a very scary position to be in.

How to calculate hand odds (the longer way):
Once you know how to correctly count the number of outs you have for a hand, you can use that to calculate what percentage of the time you will hit your hand by the river. Probability can be calculated easily for a single event, like the flipping of the River card from the Turn. This would simply be: For two cards however, like from the Flop to the River, it’s a bit more tricky. This is calculated by figuring out the probability of your cards not hitting twice in a row and subtracting that from 100%.

The number 47 represents the remaining cards left in the deck after the flop (52 total cards, minus 2 in our hand and 3 on the flop = 47 remaining cards). Even though there might not technically be 47 cards remaining, we do calculations assuming we are the only players in the game. To illustrate, here is a two-overcard draw, which has 3 outs for each overcard, giving a total of 6 outs for a top-pair draw.

How to calculate hand odds (the shorter way):
Now that you’ve learned the proper way of calculating hand odds in Texas Hold’em, there is a shortcut that makes it much easier to calculate odds:

After you find the number of outs you have, multiply by 4 and you will get a close estimate to the percentage of hitting that hand from the Flop. Multiply by 2 instead to get a percentage estimate from the Turn. You can see these figures for yourself below:

Sample Outs and Percentages from Above Chart
4 9% 17% 10 5 Inside Straight / Two Pair to Full House
5 11% 20% 8 4 One Pair to Two Pair or Set
6 13% 24% 6.7 3.2 No Pair to Pair / Two Overcards
7 15% 28% 5.6 2.6 Set to Full House or Quads

Using 100 divided by the whole percentage number, such as 24%, we can easily see that 100/24 is equal to about 4. We minus 1 from that and get a rough estimate of our odds at about 3:1. Let’s try this all the way through with an example:

You hold: A♣ J♠
Flop is: 5♣ T♦ K♦

Total Outs: 4 Queens (Inside Straight) + 3 Aces (Overcard) - Q♦ or A♦ = 5 Outs

Percentage for Draw = 5 Outs × 4 = 20%

Odds = (100 / 20) - 1
= 5 - 1
= 4:1

Again, 4:1 odds means that can expect to make your draw 1 out of every 5 times. If the 1 out of 5 doesn’t make a ton of sense to you, think about the 1:1 odds of flipping heads or tails on a coin. You’ll flip heads 50% of the time, so 1 out of every 2 times it’ll come up heads.

Pot Odds and Poker Odds:
Now that you know how to calculate poker odds in terms of hand odds, you’re probably wondering “what am I going to need it for?” That’s a good question - this is where pot odds come into play.

Pot odds are simply the ratio of the amount of money in the pot to how much money it costs to call. If there is $100 in the pot and it takes $10 to call, your pot odds are 100:10, or 10:1. If there is $50 in the pot and it takes $10 to call, then your pot odds are 50:10 or 5:1. The higher the ratio, the better your pot odds are.

Pot odds ratios are a very useful tool to see how often you need to win the hand to break even. If there is $100 in the pot and it takes $10 to call, you must win this hand 1 out of 11 times in order to break even. The thinking goes along the lines of: If you play 11 times, it’ll cost you $110, but when you win once, you will get $110 ($100 + your $10 call).

The usefulness of hand odds and pot odds becomes very apparent when you start comparing the two. As we now know, in a flush draw, your hand odds for making your flush are 1.9 to 1. Let’s say you’re in a hand with a nut flush draw and it’s $5 to you on the flop to call. Do you call? Your answer should be: “What are my pot odds?”

If there is $15 in the pot plus a $5 bet from an opponent, then you are getting 20:5 or 4:1 pot odds. This means that, in order to break even, you must win 1 out of every 5 times. However, with your flush draw, your odds of winning are 1 out of every 3 times! You should quickly realize that not only are you breaking even, but you’re making a nice profit on this in the long run. Let’s calculate the profit margin on this by theoretically playing this hand 100 times from the flop, which is then checked to the river.

Net Cost to Play = 100 hands * $5 to call = -$500
Pot Value = $15 + $5 bet + $5 call

Odds to Win = 1.9:1 or 35% (From the flop)
Total Hands Won = 100 * Odds to Win (35%) = 35 wins

Net Profit = Net Cost to Play + (Total Times Won * Pot Value)
= -$500 + (35 * $25)
= -$500 + $875
= $375 Profit

Even though you may be faced with a gut shot straight draw at times - which is a terrible draw at 5 to 1 hand odds - it can be worth it to call if you are getting pot odds greater than 5 to 1. Other times, if you have an excellent draw such as the flush draw, but someone has just raised a large amount so that your pot odds are 1:1, then you obviously should not continue trying to draw to a flush, as you will lose money in the long run. In this situation, a fold or semi-bluff is your only solution, unless you know there will be callers behind you that improve your pot odds to better than break-even.

Your ability to memorize or calculate your hand odds and pot odds will lead you to make many of the right decisions in the future - just be sure to remember that fundamental principle of profitably playing drawing hands requires that your pot odds are greater than your hand odds.

Poker Odds from the Flop to Turn and Turn to River
An important note I have to make is that many players who understand Hold’em odds tend to forget is that much of the theoretical odds calculations from the flop to the river assume there is no betting on the turn. So while it’s true that for a flush draw, the odds are 1.9 to 1 that the flush will complete, you can only call a 1.9 to 1 pot on the flop if your opponent will let you see both the turn and river cards for one call. Unfortunately, most of the time, this will not be the case, so you should not calculate pot odds from the flop to the river and instead calculate them one card at a time.

To calculate your odds one card at a time, simply use the same odds that you have going from the turn to the river. So for example, your odds of hitting a flush from the turn to river is 4 to 1, which means your odds of hitting a flush from the flop to the turn is 4 to 1 as well.

To help illustrate even further, we will use the flush calculation example that shows an often-used (but incorrect) way of thinking

Example of Incorrect Pot Odds Math
You Hold: Flush Draw
Flop: $10 Pot + $10 Bet
You Call: $10 (getting 2 to 1 odds)

Turn: $30 Pot + $10 Bet
You Call: $10 (getting 4 to 1 odds)

Long-Term Results Over 100 Hands
Cost to Play = 100 Hands * ($10 Flop Call + $10 Turn Call) = $2,000
Total Won = 100 Hands * 35% Chance to Win * $50 Pot = $1,750

Total Net = $1,750 (Won) - $2,000 (Cost)
= -$250 Profit
= -$2.5/Hand

Example of Correct Pot Odds Math
You Hold: Flush Draw
Flop: $30 Pot + $10 Bet
You Call: $10 (getting 4 to 1 odds)

Turn: $50 Pot + $16 Bet
You Call: $16 (getting about 4 to 1 odds)

Long-Term Results Over 100 Hands
Cost to Play = 100 Hands * ($10 Flop Call + $16 Turn Call) = $2,600
Total Won = 100 Hands * 35% Chance to Win * $82 Pot = $2,870

Total Net = $2,870 (Won) - $2,600 (Cost)
= $270 Profit
= $2.7/Hand

As you can see from these example calculations, calling a flush draw with 2 to 1 pot odds on the flop can lead to a long term loss, if there is additional betting past the flop. Most of the time, however, there is a concept called Implied Value (which we’ll get to next) that is able to help flush draws and open-ended straight draws still remain profitable even with seemingly ‘bad’ odds. The draws that you want to worry about the most are your long shot draws: overcards, gut shots and two-outers (hoping to make a set with your pocket pair). If you draw these hands using incorrect odds (such as flop to river odds), you will be severely punished in the long run.

Implied Value
Implied Value is a pretty cool concept that takes into account future betting. Like the above section, where you have to worry about your opponent betting on the turn, implied value is most often used to anticipate your opponent calling on the river. So for example, let’s say that you have yet another flush draw and are being offered a 3 to 1 pot odds on the turn. Knowing that you need 4 to 1 pot odds to make this a profitable call, you decide to fold.

Aha, but wait! Here is where implied value comes into play. So, even though you’re getting 3 to 1 pot odds on the turn, you can likely anticipate your opponent calling you on the river if you do hit your flush draw. This means that even though you’re only getting 3 to 1 pot odds, since you anticipate your opponent calling a bet on the river, you are anticipating 4 to 1 pot odds - so you are able to make this call on the turn.

So in the most practical standpoint, implied value usually means that you can subtract one bet from your drawing odds on the turn, as it anticipates your opponents calling at least one bet. In some more advanced areas, you can use implied odds as a means of making some draws that might not be profitable a majority of the time, but stand to make big payouts when they do hit. Some examples of this would be having a tight image and drawing to a gut shot against another tight player. Even though this is a horribly bad play (and hopefully you don’t have to pay much for it), it can possibly be a positive play if you know your opponent will pay you off if you hit your draw - because he won’t believe you played a gut shot draw. For many reasons, I do not recommend fancy implied odds plays like these, but mentioned it more so that you can recognize some players who pull these ‘tricky’ plays on you as well.

Update from Party Partners

Current Party Poker Bonus Code: GPCMONEY 

 SEASONS GREETINGS!

As we prepare for another exciting year, we would like to take the opportunity to wish you season?s greetings. PartyPartners had an eventful year in 2007, and 2008 is shaping up to deliver even more great improvements to our affiliate program.

This newsletter will take a look at all the exciting developments that took place at PartyPartners in 2007 as well as giving you a brief rundown of what?s in store next year.

Developments at PartyPartners
PartyPartners in German

The launch of a German-language version of PartyPartners has made the program more accessible for our affiliates. New affiliates can sign up, manage, and track their players through the site, and multi-lingual managers are now available for your assistance. Find out more here. Attractive new Cashier features

We?ve enhanced our Cashier with more security features and new multi-currency options. We?ve incorporated a quick cash function which has reduced the minimum transfer limit to $25 for play money accounts and $10 for real money accounts. Find out more here.
Improving conversion and retention through localization

We always attempt to deliver the best possible service to our business partners. That?s why we worked hard to widen your marketing territories in 2007 by launching a Portuguese-language version of PartyPoker.com and a German-language version of PartyGammon.com.

We also ran daily region-specific freerolls, worth over $50,000 a month, to help you retain players and improve your conversion rate. Find out more here.  Multi-currency sign-up bonus offers

We?ve launched sign-up bonus offers based on PartyPoints earned rather than raked hands or wagering. The player?s activity across all brands is considered when releasing bonuses. The new sign-up bonus offers are available in euros, pounds, and US dollars.

The new bonus offers are now available as standard on PartyPartners. You can switch your old bonus offers to the new ones in the members? area, or you can create new trackers to take advantage of these offers. Find out more here.
Scandinavian Poker Masters Challenge

The exciting Scandinavian Poker Masters Challenge was held in London from August 13 through 17. To help you promote this to your existing players and to recruit new players, we provided banners and landing pages in English, Finnish, Swedish, Norwegian, and Danish with the details of the event.  Player promotions

We made every effort to keep you up to date with our all-player promotions so that you could use them to increase your conversions and improve your player values. For example, banners and landing pages for the Oktoberfest Promotion and WPT North American Poker Championships were posted on PartyPartners.
CAP and CAC events

We?ve taken part in several conventions this year, giving us the chance to meet new and current affiliates face-to-face. Our next industry conference is in London in January, 2008. We?d like to meet as many affiliates as possible, so if you?re planning on attending, email us at affiliates@partypartners.com to schedule a meeting.
New PartyBingo.com features
PartyBingo.com is now available in a no?download version. This means that players can now enjoy all the fun of bingo in their browsers without downloading any software.

New players now also receive ?5 when the register with us, as well as 100 free cards.

We offer over $8 million in winnings each month, including our popular progressive jackpots. We are targeting the female audience using inserts in weekly magazines for women.

For more information on the PartyBingo.com payment scheme, please email affiliates@partypartners.com.
PartyPoker.com on air
Our research shows that PartyPoker.com was viewed by over 250,000,000 people from 2006 through 2007, excluding the WPT and WSOP coverage. We created nearly 550 hours of content through 40 different program series. We not only created programs in English, French, Swedish, German and Dutch languages but also have exclusive broadcaster deals in 10 territories.

A recent study in the UK showed that half of all interviewees had seen Poker TV and 21% said they had started online gaming as a result of its influence. The PartyPoker.com Million VI TV campaign starts on December 25, 2007.
Sports books: PartyBets.com and Gamebookers
The start of the year saw the launch of PartyBets.com, our very own sports book. We also revamped Gamebookers to provide users with an improved gaming experience. We introduced new horse racing fixed odds betting on both sites in October. We now offer fixed odds, as well as starting price odds on all major UK horse racing meetings. This means PartyBets.com and Gamebookers offer some of the most competitive odds in the market while offering punters an unrivalled range of stats and a great news service.

We?re currently developing a new PartyBets.com press, TV, and online advertising campaign targeting the lucrative UK market. Press ads have been running in the sports pages of British daily newspapers and in racing titles such as the Racing Post since early November. The ads are match-specific; they show odds for a special we?re offering on the contest with the strap-line ?Interested??.

We?ve also shot TV ads and sponsorship bumpers. These have been shown in the UK since
December 6.

New slot games on PartyCasino.com
PartyCasino.com has widened its scope with the addition of German and Spanish-language versions. We?ll be adding more languages in 2008.

We launched a new European roulette game in June, 2007. We?ve seen some extremely positive results thanks to a promotional campaign which offered players cash bonuses as an incentive to try the game for free.

We?ve also introduced four new slot games: Party, Graveyard Bash, Bust Da Safe, and King Tut?s Fortune. Last but not least, we launched progressive Caribbean poker; it has already paid out over $1.3 million in jackpot wins. Find out more.

2007 really has been an amazing year.

What?s next at PartyGaming?

Let?s take a look at all the great promotions we?ve got in store for the New Year. We?ve put together a program specifically designed to improve your conversion rates and boost your earnings.

Loyalty program for affiliates

We?re currently working on the PartyPartners loyalty program, a unique promotion to really grab the attention of our affiliates. The first phase of the program is expected to launch before April, 2008. You can find out more about it in our next newsletter.

Luxury trip to Monte Carlo

Encourage your players to sign up with fabulous bonuses and promotions on PartyCasino.com.

We?re launching our new Mega Fortune Wheel jackpot slot on December. Players could win a Mini or a luxury trip to Monte Carlo in the fantastic prize drawing lined up for January.
