BB/100 hands for regular Absolute players?

[RainDog]

I'm going to be spending some time over at Absolute Poker. Just curious as to what BB/100 stats others get that have played there a lot. How does this compare with other sites you play at? Is there a big difference? What limits do you play? Thanx

I have an EXTREMELY limited hand count for Absolute, and it is 6.43 BB/100 over 1.4k hands. Mostly 6 handed. The ring games (9-handed) at Absolute have been mostly rock gardens in my limited exp. The SH games are decent at peak hours. Game selection is very limiteed though. But nevertheless, the bonuses can be cleared at a decent rate.

I don't have any stats, but I can tell you that I do OK at SNG's (in the money about 70% of the time), but I get my ass handed to me at the ring games. I don't know, maybe I'm just better in a tourney format than a ring game. Good luck.

I've had a similar experience there, but I find that the .25/.50 and lower ring games are pretty soft. The .5/1 and 1/2 probably are as well, but I've had limited success in those (still finding and plugging the leaks in my game, I'm afraid). The $11 SNGs have been good to me, though. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Your limit will affect your BB/100 rate too, I played there .50-1 thru 5-10(usually up to 3-6) at 3 tables and found that if I could keep 3 full tables going(I play 9 handed) I was getting about a little over $20 in bonus per hour too. Win rate was high based on the level of pay, which was pretty bad, I had more than 3BB/100 for win rate too.

Thanks for the info guys. Still I'm curious if anyone has a BB/100 statistic for this site that has played...lets say at least 10,000 hands. Also, what BB/100 hands do you get at other sites you play at. What limits do you play?. Figured I'd give this thread a little bump, as there are generally more folks logged on during the evening.

Someone played 10k hands on Absolute without commiting suicide? I find this hard to believe. Their software is right up there with Pacific for utter-crap-of-the-year award. I met seven year olds who code better than their code slaves.

Wow, if you could find someone with that many hands played at Absolute, they should give him a medal.

Anyone who could put up with their software for that lentgh of time would deserve something extra.

4400 hands in PT, probably another 2000 that weren't sent through email because Absolutes system sucks. +.75BB/100. Impressive, eh?

[RainDog]

Not a huge sample redwave, but that may be the best info I'll be able to get until I start at Absolute myself. What limits did you play at? Did the games appear as tough as your your earnings suggest?

Mostly 1/2, 2/4, and 3/6. My BB/100 isn't very accurate as I am missing so many hands, mainly from this past couple of weeks where I gained about $400 from play. I'd say the players definitely aren't as loose or passive as on Party but they aren't that great. If you're playing 5/10 on Party right now I don't see why you would really care too much about earning $3-4 an hour in bonus at Absolute though.
