It is no secret that PokerStars and FullTilt have an abundance of live poker games available around the clock. In fact, cash games of all sizes, shapes, and colors can be found on both Stars and Tilt. While it is one thing to offer a specific style of poker game for real money, it is another to find action on the particular cash game variation you are looking for. We are going to look at the various cash games available to PokerStars and FullTilt players.
Texas Holdem Availability
Both PokerStars and FullTilt Poker offer an abundance of No Limit Texas Holdem cash games, as well as Texas Holdem in the Fixed Limit and Pot Limit variations. Games for each of these Holdem structures are available around the clock. Thus, Texas Holdem players can find non-stop Holdem action at any time of the day or night.
Omaha Availability
Omaha players will be happy with both FullTilt and PokerStars Omaha game selection. A vast selection of Pot Limit Omaha tables are ready for action on both Tilt and Stars throughout the entire day. Moreover, Omaha Hi/Lo action may be found in the Fixed Limit, No Limit and Pot Limit derivatives in bulk. This means Omaha players of all types will find a quality Omaha game at both Stars and Tilt.
Stud Availability
Stud games in the fixed limit seven-card stud and seven-card stud hi/lo cash game types are widely available around the clock at PokerStars. Players will have no problem finding a good game. At FullTilt, Stud players will also be pleased with the game selection during both peak hours and off-peak times.
Fixed Limit Razz tables are offered and play is supported at both FullTilt and Stars. Though not as well populated as the Holdem tables on either site, Razz players should be able to find a decent razz game on either poker room.
Draw Poker
While 5-card draw poker is not offered at FullTilt, PokerStars features several well-supported draw poker tables. Fixed Limit five-card draw, as well as pot limit and no limit five-card draw poker games are ready for action during peak and off-peak hours on PokerStars.
Players specializing in 2-7 Triple Draw should be able to find a decent fixed limit triple draw cash game on PokerStars during the day, as well as at night. Players seeking a triple draw game of the no limit variety or a game of 2-7 single draw will find the action a bit scarce during off-peak hours at PokerStars. Presently, players at FullTilt Poker will be unable to find the 2-7 variant of poker, as draw poker is not offered by Tilt at this time.
Mixed Games at FullTilt and PokerStars
Mixed poker games are available in mass at both Tilt and PokerStars. With the exception of 7-game in the micro stakes, and micro stakes HA – players seeking to play mixed poker cash games are best waiting to afternoon and evening hours on FullTilt to find a proper selection of mixed game tables. During peak hours, the mixed tables are live at FullTilt.
Similar can be said for mixed game players at PokerStars. H.O.R.S.E. games are available in limited quantity during off hours, while medium stakes 8-game tables are available during most times of the day. As was the case with Tilt, mixed game players are best off waiting until peak hours to hit the tables for great action, however. It should be noted though that the mixed game availability and selection is a bit better at Stars during off-peak hours than it is at FullTilt. During the peak hours, it is about a horse apiece – no pun intended.
