That $600 bonus was too alluring, so I gave Full Tilt a shot tonight. Not bad. Not a whole lot of players yet, but I found seats at 4 No Limit tables across three different table stakes (.10-.25, .25-.50, .50-1.00), I never left the tables cuz there weren't really any others to go to.
Interface was pretty cool, took a little getting used to, like any new poker interface, but the cartoon-like avatars were surprisingly enjoyable to look at. You pick your cartoon avatar when you create your account. I chose the monkey, cuz I like goofy looking monkeys. But what's really funny is once I sat at the table, and right clicked my funny looking monkey man, I could change his disposition between happy, angry, normal, and confused (I think). Not sure if the others at my table could see my character change, but whenever I lost a pot, I would change my monkey face to angry, and change it to happy whenever I took down a pot. Anyway, I'm a dork and my monkey amused me. So, I'm playing my four tables and changing my four monkey faces appropriately, I guess I liked the additional distraction.
Anyway, back to what's important, trying to work off that $600 bonus is no simple thing. Just to give you something to measure this by, at the No Limit stakes mentioned above, I played 500 hands, and only worked off $13.77 of that bonus.
At that rate, I'll have to play 21,786 hands to earn the entire bonus. The bonus pays out in increments of 20%, so once I reach $120, I'll be able to cash that amount out.
The tables were pretty tight, not a whole lot of chasing, but there were still some rookies making mistakes, so I was able to profit $150 on those 500 hands.
I'll stay until I earn the first increment of my bonus, but then I'll probably head back to Party or Empire.
