Full Tilt Toasts the Holidays with the Xmas Happy Hour Promotion

As Full Tilt Poker players are getting ready for the two Holiday $100K Guaranteed tournaments coming up this weekend (December 27 and 28, 3 pm ET; satellites for entry running now, every hour), FullTilt Poker is running a second holiday promotion called the 3Xmas Happy Hour Promotion.

The idea is simple: play at Full Tilt Poker at any regularly-scheduled Happy Hour and earn 3-times the Full Tilt Points. Triple points will be awarded at all Full Tilt Poker Happy Hours between now and New Year’s Day.

In addition, on several days (listed below) Full Tilt Poker will offer extended hours for its Happy Hour, so players have more of a chance to earn triple the points.

What’s even more of a bonus is that the buy-in to the Holiday $100K events happening this coming weekend is in Full Tilt Points, not cash. So the first gift you could get from the 3Xmas Happy Hour Promotion is an entry into one (or both) of the Holiday $100Ks.

Full Tilt Offers $100K Guaranteed for the Holidays – Times Two!

In time for the holidays (sort of), Full Tilt Poker is hosting a Holiday $100K promotion—or maybe it should be called a $200k Holiday promotion as the site is actually giving players 2 $100K guaranteed tournaments. That’s 2 chances to win a share of $100,000.

To enter one or both events, players can either:

• buy-in directly, using 2,000 Full Tilt Points
• win their way in via a satellite tournament costing as little as 50 FullTilt Points to enter
• win their way in via one of FullTilt’s freerolls, held multiple times daily between now and then, held at 40-past each hour,
• day and night

By December 27 at 3:15 pm, the player pool will be set and the first of these two $100K guaranteed tournaments will commence. The second one will take place the following day, December 28, at the same time (3 pm ET).

Full Tilt Poker Throws Some New Lines Out into the Waters

Buying domain names is a familiar method of trying to make some extra money on the web. For some people, especially in the past, it’s worked out really well, usually in one of two ways:

1. predicting domain names companies will pay for and holding them hostage for the right price
2. observing the common misspellings and mistypings of competitors URLs and buying up those domain names to redirect some of their traffic to your site.

As for the first method, like with anything (i.e. dot com bubble, anyone?) once too many people caught wind of it, the market got saturated, it got out of hand, companies found ways around using their first-choice URLs, and domain name buying/selling became much less of a sure-thing money-maker.

But the second method, while difficult to get in on, and requiring some disposable income and a gamble, can still often succeed.

Which is why is Full Tilt Poker – consummate gamblers (and winners!) after all – are doing it now.

Full Tilt Poker has bought up:

• AnsolutePoker.com – because ‘b’ and ‘n’ are one key apart on a standard QWERTY keyboard
• HallywoodPoker.com – because people often mistype ‘a’ for ‘o’ and vice-versa

FullTilt has also come up with a twist on the first above-listed method, by buying up the domain names of poker stars sponsored by competitor’s poker rooms, such as:

• AdamLevyPoker.com – though Adam Levy is on Team Ultimate Bet
• GrantHinklePoker.com – though Grant Hinkle is on Team Bodog

Devious? Yes. Effective? We’ll have to wait and see.

And This Year’s Online Poker American Idol is…Phil Ivey!

Is Phil Ivey unstoppable or what?

To go by his Full Tilt Poker standings it’s hard to think otherwise. Like the Phelps of poker, Phil Ivey is showing himself this year to be a champion of champions, up this year approximately $7.6 million dollars on Full Tilt Poker alone.

In the first two days of this month, he played an additional 1,241 hands and added another $540,000 to his 2008 stack. That comes out to more than $400 per hand!

His closest contender for the title of the Biggest Winner, Tom “durrrr” Dwan, only weighs in $4.1 million.

Most of these winnings have come from high stakes No Limit Texas Holdem ring games. In a single hand of $500/$1000 No Limit Holdem Ivey played just last week, he won $355,000 – in a single hand. And who do you think was in that pot with him but his seemingly perpetual runner-up, Tom Dwan.

A recent estimate averaging Ivey’s winnings over the span of 2008, he’s made about $87 for every hand he’s played this year.

FullTilt Poker Keeps a Woman’s Memory – and Hope – Alive

On Wednesday of this week, December 3, Full Tilt Poker held an event that was about far more than sweeping the table and winning the big prize. On one hand, it was a No Limit Texas Holdem tournament like any other.

On the other hand, it was a memorial, in honor of Mindy Trinidad, a 23-year-old wife and former model who was well on her way to becoming one of the new shining poker stars, until she was tragically taken from us early after a six-week fight with leukemia.

The tournament was hosted by Erick “Edog” Lindgren. The prize pool was $10 million. The event was open to the public, with a $5 + $5 buy-in. The first $5 went to the prize pool, the second $5 to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society/Southern Nevada (LLS).
