While Full Tilt Poker brand will stay alive, the legendary and beloved poker software is to be merged with PokerStars as the liquidity pool will be merged on May 17th.
This will be the end of one of the most popular poker software out there. Players like Isildur1, Durrrr, Skjervoy and many others earned their stripes on FTP back in the glory days at the turn of the decade.
Full Tilt informs the players:
Hello,
Full Tilt players will join the PokerStars platform and liquidity on May 17, 2016, as the two player pools will combine to form one market-leading poker experience. In coming days, Full Tilt players will be emailed direct and personal information on how this will affect them specifically, which depends on a variety of factors including their jurisdiction and the status of their PokerStars account (if any).
In many cases, Full Tilt players who already hold a PokerStars account will not need to update any information or transfer their account assets (loyalty points, cash balances etc) which will be transferred automatically to their PokerStars account and they can simply log in to their PokerStars account and enjoy all the great benefits on offer, including even more game choices and bigger tournaments.
Sincerely,
Michael Josem
Full Tilt Communications Team

As another chapter in poker history closes, many players hope and pray that serious competition for PokerStars will emerge. PokerStars popularity and reputation has been lower among the players recently due to unpopular changes such as cuts in player rewards and rake increases.
