All Absolute bonuses have no negative effect on MGR.

I've never played there, but with constant bonuses + rb, that probably adds up to ~1.2BB/100. The games are that bad?

If you play 1-2 the games are good. 2-4 they are OK, but you get better games elsewhere

The games aren't good. Definitely a lot tighter than Party. But at 2/4, the pot only needs to reach $5 to get raked 0.25, so the raked hands add up quickly. And occasionally you can find really good games. I was playing at a 5/10 full game last night that was a goldmine.

It's hit or miss. You can't set a routine and be guarenteed to find good games like Party.

Nobody plays there because there's not enough good games running...

Reminds me of an old Yogi Berra story, where he said "Nobody goes to Baseball games anymore, because it's too crowded..."

I thought it was "Nobody goes to that restaurant because it's too crowded."

This is probably the best way to describe it. Some weeks I will put in half of my hands at Absolute, other weeks just one or two sessions. That said it is a great 2nd or 3rd choice.

Granted you are not going to be able to get in 30,000-40,000 hands there at any level above 2/4. But I consistently put in 3,000-6,000 depending on how the games are running.

Because of the whole party thing, I decided to check out Absolute while waiting to see what happens. I got a 25% rakeback deal and $150 bonus. There just aren't too many games going there. Sometimes you can't even find a full ring 2/4 limit game. For now I'm playing 2 2/4 limit games trying to grind out that bonus. I'm getting about $10 an hour in bouns money plus about $3 an hour in rakeback plus whatever I manage to win. So I figure it's worth the hassle. The bonuses and rakeback are great, but I can't see it becoming my main site. Just too much of a hassle.
