Players at Full Tilt.com may have been noticing the Wal-Mart type smiley faces lingering around their cash, tourney, and SnG sign up pages. They are there for a reason, as part of the "Happy Hour" promotion in order to drum up a little business during those off-peak hours (like those played by your author here due to tax deduction number one and two not wanting to go to sleep).

The reward for playing in these games is double the Full Tilt poker points which can be used to buy anything from a Mike Matusow bobblehead to a Mini-Cooper. Personally my sights are another iPod but I'd settle for the smooth looking golf bags at 35,000 FTP points.

Here are the details from Full Tilt's webpage about the cheap way to earn yourself some swag from the second largest online poker site:

Everyone loves a good Happy Hour. Especially when you can be earning double or even triple Full Tilt Points by playing in your favorite ring games and tournaments.
Look for daily Happy Hours and head to our specially designated tables to begin earning your Full Tilt Points two to three times faster than usual. Your bonus points will automatically appear in your account so all you have to worry about is how to spend them.
