Full Tilt Poker was closed in the
Black Friday domain seizures. Unlike both Absolute Poker and
Ultimatebet, which have gone for good, Full Tilt is to be
resurrected by PokerStars. It remains to be seen when it will be back on-line and if it will retain its original format, but its comeback has been confirmed.
Next to PokerStars, Full Tilt offered probably the widest selection of cash games and tournaments anywhere on the web, incuding stud hi lo and razz.
The screengrabs here - in chronological order as far as possible - are all from the old Full Tilt. My apologies for any inconsistencies in size.

May 6, 2009: This is a terrible way to lose a hand. I don't remember how it played out but I am 99% certain we were both all-in before the flop. It hurts even more to lose with kings against kings, as I did once.
image:127278:0::0
May 16, 2009: This demonstrates graphically what can happen if you slow play aces against garbage. I must have been in the big blind because normally I wouldn't even call the small blind with rubbish like this.

image:127429:0::0
April 23, 2011: I don't usually play garbage hands even at nano-stakes like here. The muppet bets into my flush on the turn, and his garbage beats my garbage.
image:127428:0::0
May 7, 2011: Never try to bluff a moron. In this hand, from a HORSE tournament, the guy called me with jack high.
