New sites - FullTilt, and Alumni

[Abe]

An online player said I should take a peek at these.

Does anyone have info on (or experience with) either of these new sites?

[daryn]

they're new, so how could anyone have any real pertinent info on them?

i registered my name at fulltilt and also pokerchamps.com

they seem like nice sites but they're just play money so far.

URLs?

Just did a quick search for Full Tilt poker...

Gotta say, if they're on the up-and-up, they've got quite the team of pros going for 'em. Nothing to say they aren't though.

The FullTiltPoker site is being run by in part by the www.tiltboys.com group that made several great Vegas trip reports in the late 90's. Phil Gordon is a member of this group which I think helps with the collection of pro's they have there.
I have seen Perry Friedman on the site running support. Have already seen many of the pros playing at the tables. They have their own avatars that look like themselves.
Seems cool to me.

I just registered at FullTilt and there's a waiting list on the Howard Lederer table of 38 people. The chat is moving by so quickly I have no idea how Howard has time to play AND respond to everything.

The thing the I REALLY like about this site is the ability to click on any seat and have the table rotate around that seat. For people whose monitors have overlap this would be a very nice feature to have.

Any idea when real money games will be up and running?

Lederer, said 6 weeks atleast, ie in best conditions...

While playing on Chris Ferguson's table, he mentioned they hoped to have real money games up and running before the end of the WSOP.

He also shared that the majority of the site's look and feel was his, Perry, and Howard's doing.

Now if someone would only tell me what all these Beta points I've been racking up will be good for.......
