Since there's no decent Party bonus to whore this weekend (bleh) I thought I might revisit Absolute for the first time in a while and hit them up for one of their 8 zillion 10x bonuses.

When I was last there about 6 months ago, I always had the issue where 3-tabling for more than an hour or so would eventually hang the system and force me to close the whole poker client. Just wanted to hear from current players if their software has gotten any faster or more stable since then.

Also, has anyone here had any luck getting their acct there closed so they can sign back up again with you-know-what? If so, did you have to jump through any hoops to do it?

I knid of kicked myself in the butt for signing up at Absolute through PSO the other day. I only intended on whoring at it, but I really like the software and games there and regret signing up through PSO because I can no longer get RB. And from what I hear, bonuses are not deducted from your MGR, an even bigger incentive to sign-up there with RB.

The software is a lot better now. I still have issues with
the waiting list, but otherwise it is fairly smooth.

Also, they have instant HH now. /images/graemlins/cool.gif

Its pure crap locks up constantly, if ur playing MTT's there, you have no idea who has how many people are left.
As it doesnt constantly update at any smoothness


I had a poker nightmare there today, I managed to get my mouse jammed 3 tabling there(like i could move it but not click?) , i hit pocket Aces on one table and couldnt move all in, then i got AK on the other table i couldnt believe my [censored] luck, and i couldnt fold on the other 1, 2/3 timebanks ran dry, and i probably lost 2 good sized pots.

I just signed up through PSO, and I am trying to clear the PSO gift and 150% bonus, the software is really hard on my eyes, especially 3 tabling. I have been playing only on bodog, and I got so used to their awesomely simple interface.

Bodog dont let canucks sign up /images/graemlins/frown.gif

I was intrigued after reading that it was like you say really simple.


I am a big fan of the UB long narrow line type thing.

I figured out on a 16*12 monitor you could 16 table fairly easily(the numbers may be a bit hard to read but if you sit close enough should be feasible, dont know if the software allows that much though.
