Full Tilt Poker (FTP) is an online card room where people all over the world can play poker either for free or for real money. Unlike competing sites, FTP was designed mainly by professional poker players. The idea for the site came from pros Chris Ferguson and Howard Lederer, as well as from businessman Ray Bitar. In 2003, these and several other players and investors joined together to create Tiltware LLC, the company that creates software and marketing for FTP.http://www.cardplayer.com/cardplayer-magazines/65595-team-full-tilt-19-15/articles/15597-team-fulltilt-the-world-39-s-first-poker-dynasty
The designers thought that a site developed by pro players would be much more popular than their competitors. Tiltware's Chief Marketing Officer, Bob Wolf said "He (Chris Ferguson) felt that if poker players could design the software, it would simply be a better experience for the people playing."http://www.cardplayer.com/cardplayer-magazines/65595-team-full-tilt-19-15/articles/15597-team-fulltilt-the-world-39-s-first-poker-dynasty
FTP Marketing
Full Tilt Poker's advertising is a big reason why they have become the second most popular poker site in the world.http://www.cardplayer.com/cardplayer-magazines/65595-team-full-tilt-19-15/articles/15597-team-fulltilt-the-world-39-s-first-poker-dynastyhttp://www.internettexasholdem.com/ Their campaign focused on two aspects of the website: playing with the pros, and learning from the pros. Some of the world's most renowned pros play every day on FTP, sometimes for smaller stakes, and you can actually play at the same table with players that appear on TV. FTP also provides videos and chat rooms where Team Full Tilt offers tips and strategies to help amateurs improve their game.http://www.cardplayer.com/cardplayer-magazines/65595-team-full-tilt-19-15/articles/15597-team-fulltilt-the-world-39-s-first-poker-dynasty
