The online poker instructional industry has seen exponential growth in the last year or so, so it comes as little surprise that Full Tilt has jumped on the band wagon, launching its very own Full Tilt Poker Academy. Full Tilt Poker has called upon its multitude of pros to provide versatile content and instruction in all facets and playing styles of poker.
The new Full Tilt Poker Academy is free for any member of the online poker room to join and features a steadily growing database of instructional poker videos, podcasts and quizzes. There are also challenges, awarding prizes to the top students.
Many FullTiltPoker.net Pros have taken part in the Full Tilt Poker Academy to offer their advice and poker strategies, including Phil Ivey, Howard Lederer, Chris Ferguson, Jennifer Harman, Gus Hansen, Erik Seidel, Erick Lindgren, Patrik Antonius, John Juanda, Mike Matusow, Phil Gordon, Allen Cunningham and Andy Bloch, along with other pros and friends of Full Tilt Poker. The diverse range of faculty participation will ensure a multitude of content in the new Full Tilt Poker Academy.
By taking part in the lessons and successfully completing quizzes, members of the Full Tilt Poker Academy can also earn ‘Academy Points' through various challenges. These include things like finishing deep in qualifying tournaments. Academy Points can earn a player Silver and/or Gold Membership in the academy, granting unlimited access to all features.
Members of the internet poker room can also achieve Silver or Gold membership with Full Tilt Points - the same points earned for participating in raked ring games and paid tournaments. Collecting 500 life-time Full Tilt Points or Academy Points grants the full Gold Membership level, and need only be achieved once. So, for long-time members of the online poker room who have already earn 500 points in their past play, Gold Membership is automatically available.
As an added bonus, the Full Tilt Poker Academy is available in 19 languages to accommodate members from most regions of the world.
