Professional Poker Player Avatars
One of the things that makes FullTilt Poker unique among online poker sites is the collection of avatars used to represent players at the poker table. FullTilt offers a couple dozen images to choose from -- from a marine to a puppy dog, you can choose your "image at the table," so to speak.
FullTilt has specialty avatars as well. Professional poker players have custom-made avatars that (usually) look like the actual person they represent. Like other FullTilt avatars, the professional players can look Normal, Confused, Angry, or Happy. What's more anyone can commission a custom FullTilt avatar... for only a couple million "FullTilt Points."
By searching through the FullTilt files on your computer, you can view all of the professional avatars, but here I have screen shots of professionals "captured in the wild." This verifies who goes with which image (though it's usually obvious) and it's fun to see what games/stakes they were playing and when.
