I'm thinking seriously of taking up the bonus offer there, I'll be playing 1/2 anything anyone knows will be great, about reliability, ease of cashing out, any problems experienced, what the tables are like. If you prefer to PM I will understand, any useful info will be much appreciated.

Best Regards Mack

The 1/2 games are mostly tight and passive, with some LAG's and fish if you're at a good table. Be warned, sometimes there are no good tables. Try to play at primetime, you know, when everyone is off work in the States.

Cashing out is easy.

I haven't had any problems with Absolute, but their software is sub-standard and you have to have a pop3 email account to utilize hand histories in Poker Tracker.

One that you can download to microsoft outlook, eudora, or...
In other words, not hotmail and the like. However, I think hotmail does offer pop3 accounts if you pay a fee.

Cashouts are great, bonuses are generous but the tables are tighter than a nuns nasty.

If you go there, whatever you do, sign up for a rakeback deal. They don't count your bonus money against your rakeback. Unfortunately, I was foolish and didn't know that when I signed up.
