Full Tilt Poker will attempt to stamp its name on the Guinness Records and to do so; the site has announced that it will try to set a new record for the Largest Online Poker Tournament. Full Tilt’s Record Breaker tournament was unveiled as the finale to FIVE, a week of events and promotions created exclusively to celebrate the site’s 5^th anniversary. The tournament will take place on July 19th at 15:05ET, players can buy in for this event for only $5 or 1000 Full Tilt Points and compete for a share of a $250,000 guaranteed with $250,000 added prize pool. Players can also get entries to this event by playing the online satellites available on the site and starting for as little as 30 cents or 50 Full Tilt Points.

Team Full Tilt pros and WSOP bracelet winners Howard Lederer, Chris Ferguson and Phil Ivey have already confirmed they will take part in the event, offering players the chance to sit down at this historic tournament and play with some of the best high stakes and tournament pros in the world.

“By extending the limits of what is possible in online poker tournaments, Full Tilt Poker will allow players to compete for a big payout without the big buy-in,” said Team Full Tilt member Howard Lederer.

Putting together a poker tournament of this magnitude would be nearly impossible for any brick and mortar casino or poker room. The current record for the largest “live” poker tournament was set at the 2006 WSOP Main Event with 8,772 players. To break the current Guinness Record set by PokeStars.com in December, 2008, Full Tilt Poker will need to attract over 35.000 players. If successful, this tournament will establish Full Tilt Poker as World Record holder and cement its reputation as a world leader in online poker industry.

If you were to have a chat with any ordinary person off the street about online poker, they probably wouldn’t believe online poker to be a game of strategy, careful planning, or close examination. Probably when you mention online poker with them, they would more than likely picture some poker buddies lounging around their living room table having conversations and smoking cigarettes. They also may believe poker to be a game of luck and not ability, more similar to a game of craps compared to checkers, for instance.

So the big issue you may have is: “Could I become a millionaire playing poker?”. Believe it or not, there are folks who actually earn a living this way. Numerous people not just come out on top by playing online poker, but also become very rich by competing in texas Hold’em poker. The main thing you need to remember about online Texas Hold’em poker is that although you can play in a Sin City casino, beside blackjack tables and casino slots; in online Texas Hold’em poker you are not competing against the house but against other online Texas Hold’em poker contestants. So, in truth, you are gambling your poker chips against other contenders in a contest of expertise unlike a game of chance.

You may be thinking to yourself: “Doesn’t it pay to be lucky?” Naturally in Texas Hold’em poker, no one really knows which poker cards will be dealt. That doesn’t automatically indicate that one cannot play Texas Hold’em poker with a dependable amount of pre-tournament know-how. One major thing to not forget in Texas Hold’em is that numbers can be your best friend. Math has a rather essential role in the game of Texas Hold’em. So much so, that even if you get somewhat fortunate ever so often the stats always have a way of bringing you back down to earth.

Try to remember that Las Vegas, Nevada casino games like poker where you are in reality playing vs. other actual contenders CAN be won. The more you play the game of Texas Hold’em poker, you will realize that it is more of game of knack and not just genuine chance.
