Thinking about depositing there, looking for info about 1) number of 100NL FR tables available during peak US times, 2) softness of play, 3) speed of clearing the sign-up bonus. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Ban this spammer.
Their bonus clearing rates are often way off and I figure with Party closing their table # stats could be too.

There are plenty of tables at that level, that's what I played when I was there.
Compared to other sites FT is not soft at all, lot of rocks.
As for the bonus, it's slow.

I think FT's rock reputation is overrated. It's getting bigger and therefore fishier...the power of advertising. Plenty of tables, lots of shortstacking donks to beat up on.

I just signed up on Friday.
Played some $50NL on Saturday and I would say that the games are very soft. I deposited $400 and won $350 playing 3 tables. I am liking FT very much right now - proabably should have been playing there a long time ago.

I just noticed that the rake is $0.05 per $0.50 pot (instead of $1 pot) up to $2 max. I checked some reviews of FT online and they reported a 5% rake up to $3 max which is the online standard as far as I can tell.
Is this new? 10% rake for online poker seems unusually high.
EDIT: Never mind-- that's the rake for 10NL tables. 25NL is the usual 5%/$3 max.

I love Full Tilt - things I like are the avatars and the fact that you can place your guys anywhere on the table - This really REALLY helps with multitabling - If your playing 8 tables on 1 screen, how the hell can you keep up with that anyway? if your 8 tabling, you need a monitor thta will give you that resolution (did Party auto do that for us? I know Gabe had pics of 9 tabling, but i don't know how that was done) - If you play 5-6 tables you will really like it there - Last time I went in there was over 20K players - I can only guess that with Party and Stars closing that this number will go up - its easy to find Rakeback for Full Tilt also and i'm not sure why everyone is saying the bonus' there is harder to clear - I've had tougher problems clearing the Ultimate bonus by far - I was clearing the bonus releases at 10NL every 3 or 4 sessions (short sessions)
the only thing you might not like is that the games don't go NEARLY as fast as Party or Ultimate Bet - i would guess its about 1/4 slower...still fast than the PokerRoom skins by far, but slower than the big 2 -

I 12-tabled there on a 1280x1024 19'' monitor. The tables pop up in order so it's not hard.
