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?

How bad is this?

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 

VanDerMeyde   Norway. Apr 19 2015 12:38. Posts 5108

Yep. Even the biggest fish in my live poker game understands whats going on hu online and doesnt play it. Luckily more and more rooms get rid of it

yeah, those ~20 guys from your casino ( nice sample btw :D ) figured out why people open tables at HU, but those same guys cant figure out why there's 30 guys on waiting list to some tables at 6max :D

yep EVEN those 20 worst live players ever figured it out. If you havent noticed headsup bumhunting been dead since 2009 @ 100nl plus at every pokersite. There is a reason.
