Lately the Full Tilt Poker download has been host to a large variety of chances to earn extra Full Tilt Points, and the newest of the bunch is dubbed “Short Handed Happy Hour”. Online poker veterans will be familiar with the normal Happy Hour promotion, but people that play during peak hours will almost never see Happy Hour. Short Handed Happy Hour offers everyone the option to obtain double the Points even during high traffic times.

Your Full Tilt Poker download is giving 2x the Full Tilt Points in short handed cash games from December 1st to January 31st. It might surprise you to learn that you can still collect these extra Points even at a Full Ring table. 9-handed tables are deemed short handed when less than six players are being dealt cards. 6-handed games are short handed if they have less than four players. It is sometimes fun to speculate what might happen as a result of certain promotions. Maybe the Full Ring tables will become full of short handed experts trying to obtain double Points on their Full Tilt Poker download. Maybe I will be wrong and 9-max veterans will just try the short handed games themselves. The point is, though, that the site has come up with a winner for getting games started.

Like regular Happy Hour tables, the short handed tables are given yellow smiley face symbols. If you are not very experienced with the lobbies in online poker rooms, you will likely enjoy the fact that Full Tilt Poker made these special tables very easy to spot.

You should use your bonus Points on items in the VIP Store. If you have just started your bankroll on money poker sites, the first thing you should buy is the Full Tilt Security Key which costs 5,000 Points. This will make it much more difficult to hack your account. Once you get this out of the way, you can start saving for a new book, iPod, or computer.

Receiving bonus Full Tilt Points is like putting money in your pocket, making this a great time to be a cash game player. When you consider MiniFTOPS, Short Handed Happy Hour, and the promotions that are sure to pop up during the holidays, a lot of people will be convinced to download Full Tilt Poker this month.
