Full Tilt Poker issues major software update loaded with new features (February 28, 2008)

Full Tilt Poker released a major software update today with several new features designed to improve the playing experience.

Some of the highlights:

  • A tournament dollars (T$) system is now in place. This has been a popular feature at PokerStars for years. Satellite winners can now unregister from the target events and get T$ credited to their accounts. T$ can be used to buy in to other tournaments.
  • Players can now automatically reload to the desired amount at the end of every hand.
  • Satellites end immediately when the top prize has been reached.
  • There is a 12-hour self-exclusion option ("Don't let me play, I'm drunk, high, on tilt and/or off my meds.")
  • Speed tables have improved options for sitting out and sitting back in.
  • The time available to post blinds has been extended.

For more information, see the official news release.
