Full Tilt Points are what you earn just by playing any real money game or tournament at Full Tilt Poker.

Points have value because they can be used for tournament entries and full tilt swag like hats, cards, or even a Mini Cooper if you earn enough.

To get the most points you need to have good bankroll management. Playing against weaker competition and exploiting your opponents is how you'll make money.

With $50 you should never need to deposit again. However if you find yourself the unfortunate victim of a few beats, don't be discouraged. It takes a lot of patience and practice to get better.

Full Tilt Member and professional Chris "Jesus" Ferguson famously turned $0 into $10,000 using a few basic rules. This is taken from Chris Ferguson's article on the matter.

To ensure that I keep my bankroll intact, I've adopted some key rules:

* I'll never buy into a cash game or a Sit & Go with more than 5 percent of my total bankroll (there is an exception for the lowest limits: I'm allowed to buy into any game with a buy-in of $2.50 or less).
* I won't buy into a multi-table tournament for more than 2 percent of my total bankroll and I'm allowed to buy into any multi-table tournament that costs $1.
* If at any time during a No-Limit or Pot-Limit cash-game session the money on the table represents more than 10 percent of my total bankroll, I must leave the game when the blinds reach me.
