Full Tilt Poker is one of the biggest poker rooms online, and of course getting a rakeback deal with them is great news for the serious player.

For you that don’t know, rakeback means to get a percentage of your fees (rake) back from the room. Basically, it is free money, because you would pay the fees anyway.

But there is a catch: only a few partners have the right to offer this to the players, and I am glad to say that we belong to this group. Not only that, but we offer the highest possible rakeback deal for FTP, which is 27%

How to get rakeback on Full Tilt Poker

This is pretty simple. Just use one of our links to Full Tilt Poker and bonus code FTPRB

After you make your first deposit and start playing, your rakeback will be deposited weekly, directly by Full Tilt Poker employees. Nobody outside FTP will handle your money, so no one can take any cuts from your rakeback.

I already have an account on Full Tilt Poker and want rakeback

In that case there may be a problem. If you never deposited, nor have played with real money, it’s pretty simple: just create another account, FTP allow that now.

If you have played before with real money, you are locked to your account and we can’t get you rakeback. If that’s the case, you can still tell your friends and family to be careful when they decide to create their account, so that they have rakeback for life.

If you have any doubts, feel free to contact us.

One has to wonder why these pros decided to switch from Holdem to Omaha. Also known as the game of nuts, Omaha is a game which lends the skill factor a much bigger importance than Holdem. These guys didn’t go after Omaha for the novelty value: they did it because each of them considered he could rustle up a long term edge easier at the PLO tables. Sure enough, while PLO worked out well for some, it proved to be a hard nut to crack for others. Isildur1 has to be the most famous and infamous victim of the game. A NL Holdem, specialist, the nosebleed stakes online poker celebrity once dropped nearly $4 million to Full Tilt Pro Brian Hastings at the PLO tables, in a single session.

Now that PLO is slowly but surely emerging as the game of the future, it’s only natural that you be interested in finding out more about it. What makes it tick and what do you have to do to become successful at it? First of all – and this is irrespective of whether or not we’re talking about NLH or PLO – sign up for an omaha rakeback deal if you haven’t already joined such a loyalty scheme. Poker prop deals may work even better. You are going to drop tons of money on the poker rake in Holdem and in Omaha too, so rakeback makes loads of sense.

Hand selection is extremely important in PLO. Because you get to take a look at a much bigger percentage of your possible showdown hand after the deal than in Holdem, starting hand selection gains bigger importance in PLO. What’s possibly even more important: exercise proper table selection. Because of the skill factor involved in it, PLO rewards good players much more generously when they play against weaker foes. When two good players duke it out though, it’s not exactly a Sunday walk in the park for either of them. Avoid good players as best you can and track down those rookies: you’ll thank yourself later.

The TAG style is probably the best approach to PLO. Don’t be shy to commit your chips when you know you have the goods (or when you know you’re likely to pick them up on later streets) and get out of the way when all you have is junk. It doesn’t get simpler than this. The game of nuts is extremely punitive towards loose-passive calling stations. In PLO, the number of possible straight draws you may hit can be as high as 20. Get used to such numbers and make sure your straight draw is as close to a 20-way one as possible when you shove those chips into the middle.

Value shoving, otherwise known as value betting, is when a player overbets (raises) the pot with more than a pot-sized bet. It is a very common occurrence in No Limit Hold’em Games – particularly in Sit and Goes and MTT strategy.

Advantages of Value Shoving

Although there are risked involved in value shoving; the principle of value shoving is so popular in No Limit games because it can be used with a wide range of hands under a number of different situations.

In Multi Table tournaments, value shoving can be done when you hold the best hand in the game. Holding KK and shoving for example, can actually make your hand look like a standard steal or bluff, and the chances of getting called are much higher. This means you can win a much bigger pot and win value for your money than regular slow play. It also removes the risks involved from this i.e. allowing limpers and non-premium hands to see the flop.

In tournaments – or even cash games – the value shove can be used as a strong re-raise or 3bet. Because of the gap concept involved in 3betting, value shoving as a re-raise in a cash game or tournament means your opponent has to have an excellent hand in order to call you. Most of the time this won’t be the case, however even if you get called you’re still likely to have outs with a good hand. Even with little outs you can get extremely good value for money in the later stages of a poker tournament.

Example of Value Shoving Preflop in Online Tournament: Blinds are 100/200. The opening bet is 700. A 3bet in this situation should be around 3 times the first bet – around 2000. A value shove here, rather than a standard 3bet, would make your hand look much weaker; giving value for hands like 77 or even 55 to call you. In a normal 3bet only hands AA – JJ will call you in this situation.

The Delayed Value Shove

The delayed value shove is a principle built upon the idea that it conceals the strength of your hand. If you delay your shove, and give your opponent the opportunity to catch something on the turn or river, it allows you to make a value shove in a situation that would otherwise seem entirely normal. The advantage is that it makes your overbet look more natural, and your giant hand is disguised.
