Our new Educational tables let you play with the pros and give you the chance to be featured in an instructional video.

If you sit down at an Educational Table, you may get to play against one of our Full Tilt Poker pros, which may be using their "red name", or playing anonymously under a special alias. Playing under an alias allows educational content to be filmed in a more realistic environment, as opponents of red name pros often change their strategy when playing a known professional.

Either way you’ll have to be on your game, as your play may be recorded and used for a coaching video to be published online. For an example of what this may look like, check out our Tip From the Pros from the team at CardRunners.

If your play is featured in a video, your Player ID will be displayed, but your hole cards will remain hidden unless you’re involved in a hand that goes to showdown. Educational tables will be marked with an (edu) after the table name in the lobby and will be available at a wide variety of limits.

Additional Benefits

If you're playing at an Educational Table against one of our pros and they're playing under an alias, you'll be eligible for a special bonus.

The bonus amount will be 25 times the table's big blind. You will have two months to earn the bonus, and you will clear $0.06 of the bonus for every Full Tilt Point you earn. You'll receive notification of the bonus offer via email within 48 hours of completing your session. Remember, this bonus is only offered if there is a pro at your table that is playing anonymously. If there is a pro at the table playing under their red name, you won't be eligible for a bonus.
