FullTilt is continuing its recent trend of changing towards a poker room aimed at recreational players: they made several cuts from the games in last week, mostly reducing the stakes available for the high stakes games.
The changes are enormous and this is the single boldest move from a long time in the poker industry. The main reasoning behind the changes is to simplify the offer so it's easier to find the games for recreational players.
However, besides the modification in less popular games, poker room decided to cut all High Stakes games (which FullTilt was so known for in the past), leaving just No-Limit and Pot-Limit games at two levels: $250/$500 and $25/$50.
Here is the full list of games removed from the site: Adrenaline Rush games (from the end of April)
Cap and Deep Stack Heads-Up No Limit Hold’em games
Cap, Deep Stack and Deep Stack with Ante 6-Max No Limit Hold’em games
Shallow Stack Full Ring No Limit Hold’em games
Pot Limit Hold’em Heads-Up and 6-Max games
Full Ring Fixed Limit Hold’em games
Deep Stack Pot Limit Omaha Heads-Up games
Cap, Deep Stack and Deep Stack with Antes Pot Limit Omaha 6-Max games
Deep Stack with Antes 6-Card Pot Limit Omaha Heads-Up games
New to the Game tables for certain games (No Limit Omaha Hi/Lo 6-Max)
Irish Poker
HORSE, HA and 7-Game
There few changes to the games that are left as well:
$2/$4 Rush Poker Ring Cash Games are getting changed to $2.50/$5 Rush Poker Ring Games
$0.25/$0.50 and $1/$2 Pot Limit Omaha Rush Poker are going to be removed and replaced with $2.50/$5 Pot Limit Omaha Rush Poker (that makes Pot Limit Omaha available at every second stake level only)
6 Card Omaha, 8-Game, and 10-Game 6-Max tables will change to 5-Max
Stud Hi, Stud Hi-Low and Razz 8-handed games will all become 5-Maxp
Jackpot Sit-and-Go, $5 and $50 levels have increased rake
What do you think about such drastic changes? What about the removal of FullTilts bread and butter, High Stakes games?

bad sign for the poker climate in general that a top 5 site has to do this to maintain the liquidity of it's games
but good that it's actually being done - FTP being proactive, adapting to the times etc.

well its not as bad as parypokers bold moves - seems logical, ppl will just play @stars since they are Amaya, all the same. Back when dwan as owning everything and guy laliberte was donating there was tons of action, seems dead anyways up there. |

No regs play each other headsup anymore. If 200 morons waitint, maybe 4 guys have action. Even drunk fish understands whats going on and quit, so its bad also for real poker players in ring games
Poker networks like everest got better after removing hu tables |

?? Anymore? You mean last 4-5 years. Bumhunting spreads faster then the plague |

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us and as we let our own lights shine we unconsciously give other people permision to do the same | |
