Full Tilt Poker Academy – The new Poker Strategy Video Site
Recently, several online poker training school s have begun to spring up on the internet. Full Tilt Poker has now thrown their hat into the ring with their Full Tilt Poker Academy. The academy brings together many of the top Full Tilt pros to give instruction in areas ranging from cash games to bankroll management. Unlike many of the sites on the web that offer poker training, Full Tilt provides this service free of charge to anyone that registers with the site.

Hot Web 2.0 Graphics

The online lessons are all individual video sessions with different online pros. Top range from low limit cash games to tournament play and even heads-up play. For example, Howard Lederer teaches poker lessons on bubble play in tournaments. One of Chris Ferguson’s lessons is on pre-flop play. At present, 20 different Full Tilt pros serve as teachers on the site. Instructors include Jennifer Harman, Allen Cunningham, and 2006 WSOP Main Event runner-up Paul Wasicka. You can check out which pros are teaching on the site and pull up their profile to find out what subjects that they are covering.

In order to watch a poker lesson, all a user has to do is select the top that they want to watch and they can then either choose to preview the lesson or watch the lesson in its entirety. The poker videos offered are high quality videos, not a glorified slide show with sound or a low quality video shot on a generic stage as some sites. These are full length free poker lessons and not just a short 1 minute preview that serves as a hook to purchase another program or service.

Another feature of the academy is cash game and tournament sessions with various Full Tilt Poker pros. Full Tilt pros will sit and play live cash or tournament sessions and give you tips for play. They will also walk you through their decision making process when they make certain plays at the table. The videos are not just limited to Holdem. There are also Omaha and H.O.R.S.E. sessions available for those interested in seeing a little non-holdem action. The videos are also filmed in a realistic fashion. A little editing is done to eliminate non relevant hands or actions, but you still get to watch all the moves that the pros make. If the pros make a move that does not work, the viewer gets to see their mistake and listen to them justify their move. These videos are free to academy members and are available 24 hours a day.

Full Tilt’s Poker Academy also gives you the ability to apply the skills that you learn on their site in both an interactive test format and in live play. The interactive testing format is known as Sit-N-Learn. The SNL’s are interactive quizzes that users take to accumulate points. Many of the quizzes have interactive video or video hints. At the end of each quiz, their score is compared to others that have taken the quiz. At the end of the month and the top scorers have an opportunity to compete in a free roll on Full Tilt exclusively for Academy members.

The other way that members get to apply their newly acquired knowledge is via Pro Challenges. These challenges are a series of tasks that players must complete on Full Tilt Poker in exchange for Academy Credits. The tasks may be simple tasks, such as raising in early position with pocket aces. Also, the tasks could be a little more advanced, such as making moves at the bubble with non standard hands. There are challenges for both cash games and tournaments, so everyone gets a crack at earning credits.

Full Tilt Academy Challenges

As just mentioned, Academy members can earn Academy Credits for completing challenges. These credits can be used by members to purchase items from the academy store. Members can use the points to purchase items from tournament buy-ins to Full Tilt gear, and even Full Tilt Points. Also, it should be noted that players can still earn Full Tilt points for games played on Full Tilt Poker in addition to Academy points. The store has not officially opened, but users can still start accumulating points to use once the store officially opens.

Some of the Full Tilt Pros offering Challenges

Another feature open to academy members is the My Academy page. The My Academy page will serve primarily as a tracking tool of user’s progress at the Full Tilt Poker Academy.

On this page, you can keep track of which lessons you have watched, which Sit-N-Learn programs you have completed, your Sit-N-Learn rankings, and even challenge status.

Signing up for the Full Tilt Poker Academy is easy. There is a registration form available on the main page for new users. If you are already a member of Full Tilt Poker, then you are already signed up for the Full Tilt Poker Academy. Your username and password for Full Tilt will work as the login for the Full Tilt Poker Academy. Becoming a member of Full Tilt Poker is not required in order to participate in the Full Tilt Poker Academy. However, in order to participate in accumulating Academy Credits, you must be signed up and play at Full Tilt Poker.

While reviewing the material on the website, what stuck out in my mind was the professionalism portrayed by those covering the material. Sometimes when you watch online material, it becomes a glorified advertisement for a particular brand. While there are plenty of product placements in the video, not once did I hear an instructor give a sales pitch. They focused on teaching users how to play poker and did not try and sell users on the merits on Full Tilt Poker or any other site.

There are various options on the internet for poker training, but if you are looking to save some money in your poker education, head over to the Full Tilt Poker Academy and sign up. On the front page, there is a video welcome by the Full Tilt Poker Academy Dean, Howard Lederer. In the tutorial, he reviews the features of the site and tells you how you can sign up.

Howard Lederer – The Dean of the Poker Academy

Now you can watch, learn how to play poker, and get your poker education for free at the Full Tilt Poker Academy.

The first of the Million Dollar Challenge matches has begun. In the first match, Tom Dwan aka Durrrr takes on Patrik Antonius. Play started around 6:30 a.m. Wednesday morning with both players buying in for $40,000 on each of the 4 durrrr challenge tables. Things started off slow for the two players with Antonius up about $25,000 after about 80 hands.

Durrrr was able to pull back to about even when the first big hand of the challenge went down. Preflop, Antonius raised to $1,200 and durrrr made the call. The flop fell Kh-Qd-6d and durrrr led out for $1,750. Antonius made the call. The turn fell the 4h and durrrr bet out again, this time for $4,250. Antonius then raised to $18,650. Durrrr made the call. The river fell the 9d to put a potential straight draw on the board. Durrrr then moved all-in for $16,366 and Antonius tanked for a bit. He finally called the all-in bet and showed Kc-Qh-8h-8d for top two pair. Durrrr showed Ah-3h-10d-5s for nothing but air. Antonius raked a big $75,931.50 pot off of durrr and durrrr reloaded.

After 170 hands, Antonius was up around $68,000. Durrrr would make most of that back in one hand against Antonius. Antonius would make a standard raise to $1,200 pre-flop and durrrr followed along. The flop fell 2c-4h-Jc and durrrr check-called a bet of $2,400. The turn fell the 9s and durrrr checked to Antonius, who bet $6,400. Durrrr then check-raised to $26,400 which prompted Antonius to shove for $47,986 total. Durrrr made the call. Antonius held Jd-5d-4s-3h for two pair and a straight draw. Durrrr held 8d-8c-2d-2s for a set of deuces. The river fell a harmless Qd and durrrr’s set raked him a $102,991.50 pot.

Antonius would then take a few more pots off of durrrr to pull back in front. At the 300 hand mark, Antonius was up $65,634. Durrrr decided to take a sandwich break around 7:30 a.m. which made the railbirds go bananas. The best line of all the railbirds and posters came over at 2+2 forums when one poster said, “Don’t be fooled. The gods demand a new sacrifice. Durrrr is sacrificing another virgin.”

Around the 460 hand mark, Antonius took another big hand off Durrr. The pot was three-bet pre-flop with $21,600 in the pot when the flop fell 2c-10s-8h. On the flop, durrrr check-raised Antonius all-in for $34,691 and Antonius made the call. Antonius showed Ad-As-4s-6s for a pair of aces and durrrr showed Ac-Qd-10h-9c for top pair and a straight draw. The turn of the Kc and river of the 6d helped neither player and Antonius took down a $90,981.50 pot. At this point, Antonius was up $115,000 against durrrr.

The next couple hundred hand were relatively uneventful with play going back and forth between the two. At the 710 hand mark, Antonius was up $107,459. At this point, durrrr started to make a comeback. He took down back to back huge pots to erase much of the win that Antonius had racked up. First, he took an $114,384.50 pot against Antonius when Antonius pushed with two pair and a flush draw. Durrrr held a lower two pair and a flush draw. Unfortunately for Antonius, durrrr rivered his flush and took the pot. Next, Antonius pushed with a double gutted straight draw and durrrr called with a set of tens. Antonius missed his draws and durrrr took a pot worth $148,266.50.

Durrrr then erases the remainder of his deficit and took the lead on Antonius when Antonius called an all in bet against durrrr holding both a straight and flush draw. Durrrr held two pair and a better flush draw. The river missed both players and durrrr took down a $104,891.50 pot. At this point, durrrr was up around $50,000 and things just proceeded to get better for durrrr.

Around the 1,350 hand mark, durrrr took another huge pot off Antonius. This time, all the money went in on a flop of Qd-6s-9s. The pot sat at $134,631.50 when durrrr showed Jd-10s-6c-6d for a set of sixes. Antonius showed As-Qc-8s-3h for the nut flush draw and a pair of queens. The turn of the Qh gave durrrr a full house and Antonius a set of queens. Antonius had 10 outs to win the hand, but the river fell a harmless 10h and durrr moved up over $100,000 for the session.

Play would continue for nearly 200 more hands with Antonius finally bowing out at hand 1,541. After 1,541 hands, Patrik Antonius is down $135,000 to durrr. No return time has been announced, but you can be certain that Antonius wants to get back on the horse to try and pull at least back to even against durrrr.

The stats for the Tom Dwan Million Dollar Challenge are available directly from Full Tilt.

James Obst may be the next big thing in online poker. Hes not one of these hot shot NL specialists but is a poker prodigy capable of high stakes limit H.O.R.S.E.. The 50k H.O.R.S.E. tournament in the WSOP is widely regarded as the real “main event” amongst the real pros. James Obst plays under the screen name TheFatFish at the top online poker room Full Tilt. Tonight he was multi tabling Horse poker games and playing Mike Matusow on both those screens. James was sporting his FTOPS gold jersey avatar after having won the RAZZ FTOPS event. James Obst has a big future in online poker and does not seem like a one hit wonder specialist IMO.

James Obst comes from a chess background like some of the other top poker pros.

There is a very good chance he will be one of the new Red Pros at Full Tilt poker. I was watching him tonight and he was dominating the play. He was in almost every pot and people were having to battle him every hand. He was playing an aggressive limit style like Thomas Keller and I’m sure we will see this kid win the 50k HORSE when hes old enough to play in it. After a few pros sit with him and see how he plays, I’m sure they will be signing this prodigy
