Full Tilt Poker, one of premier online poker rooms of today, just got a little friendlier for those poker players unwilling to pull a ton of money out of their pockets.

Full Tilt only requires that new players make a first time deposit of $10 now, instead of the standard $50 minimum.  This is great news for those who are just getting started, or those who don’t really have enough to start with a large bankroll.

To go along with this new minimum deposit are new micro-stakes tables.  This way players can slowly build their bankroll from a small initial investment.  Micro-stakes can be found in the lobby for no limit and pot limit ring games, starting at $0.01/$0.02, and limit ring games for $0.05/$0.10.  Sit & Go tournaments start at just $1.25 and multi-table tournaments at just $0.10!

This is a great way to build experience and develop skill, without having to put out a large amount of money up front.  After builing up a bankroll, players can then apply their new found and skills and move onto larger stakes.
