email I sent to absolute poker
 

Both my requests for hand histories today have yielded only results from september. I played multiple tables for several hours today. I have had problems with hand histories in the past and you have never been able to solve these problems to my satisfaction. The problems with your hand history system are a major reason why I do the majority of my play (15k+ hands per month) on other sites. Another reason is that you only allow three tables to be open at a time. There are a lot of players right now looking for a new site to play on because the split between party poker and empire/eurobet. If you got your act together and stored hand histories locally and allowed players to join as many tables as they desire (or at least four!) your site could become a major player in the poker market. Without decent software, I suspect you will continue with the mediocre market share that you currently have. Have a nice day,

It not as if they didn't say that's what they were doing with the new update.

Re: email I sent to absolute poker
 

I only joined absolute yesterday. I don't get why people are whining about their software, I think it is pretty good. And 12k+ on peak hours are pretty good numbers.

I am actually playing right now ,14:30ET , and have a 30% VP$IP table (zetack, you are bringing down my average) which is not party but nuch better than what I've seen yesterday on the skins.

Re: email I sent to absolute poker
 

No, I am the moran here. If it's any excuse I haven't played on Absolute in a long time. My roommate or a friend must have updated my client because I haven't touched it but I did notice the R button near options.

I'll crawl back into my hole and whine about max 3 tables some other time.

Re: email I sent to absolute poker
 

Does that mean PT will soon make it where you can auto-import hands?

Re: email I sent to absolute poker
 

yep...at the pokertracker forums, the guy who does the programming says he is working on a patch for absolute hands as we post

Re: email I sent to absolute poker
 

It is done, you can auto-import, but you don't want to play there, you really don't, in fact no one from 2+2 would ever want to play there, it is a rock garden, the software crashes every other hand, it is very very very slow, you can only play 3 tables at a time, but it is so slow it is worse than one table at Party, ummmmmm, and once you make a bit of money you will lose it all because the site is rigged....

Re: email I sent to absolute poker
 

For 6max, the site is excellent, and the crashes have settled down. I actually wrote a blog about why not to play at absolute, but they shmoozed me back, and I must say, it is much better.

They are in a giant marketing push to get more players. I expect the site to grow.

I swear, I'm not a shill. The full games are still rock gardens (well, I don't know, I stopped playing them), but 6max really is fine.

Re: email I sent to absolute poker
 

I've been there for a few months and from what I've seen the 6 max are rock gardens as well.

Re: email I sent to absolute poker
 

They may be rock gardens, but I usualy run about 15 BB/100 when I play there. AKA Absolute is rigged in my favor.

FWIW, I have had ONE crash in the several months I've played there off and on (maybe 5k hands?)

If your game is low-limit Hold 'Em the games are rough for the slightly-above-average player (a class which includes me).

6-max LHE is not my game, but it quite usually NOT a rock garden. You will often see at least 3 to the flop there and some really aggressive play.

I've played a little low-stake NLHE, and I've seen players call some big bets PF with garbage.

I've played a little puny-stake O8 (.10/.20 and .25/.50) while I learn the game and it's not a rock-fest by any stretch.

Not a big fan of Absolute but they do offer very nice incentives for playing there.

If you are serious, please put down the crack pipe. If this was thickly disguised sarcasm, then I apologise for the misread.

Seriously, you could not be more wrong about absolute. The software is MUCH better, the hand history system has been improved including real-time display, and the combination of constant bonuses and rb make it nearly impossible not to turn a profit there.

I play 3 tables there ALL THE TIME and the software is certainly no slower than Party/skins and I have had only one crash in the last three months.

That's great news! I haven't played there much in the last several months, except a few hundred hands during the 200 million hand promotion. But everything seemed fine then.

I'll be back.

Really, you don't want to play there. The bonuses are impossible to clear because they offer so much bonus there that its impossible to ever clear it all.

Joke of the year award.

Play at NL .5/1 and almost every hand counts to the bonus.
At $10 per 100 raked (25c+) hands I know of no better bonus.
At to that the unmentionable and you will see it is worth it.

And there are plenty of fish around there too.
I should know, got seriously sucked out on a number of times today.

Re: email I sent to absolute poker
 

I play limit exclusively. (Because I stink at NL.)

I [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Absolute. My first day bonus-clearing was rockish, but now that I've got the feel for the site I can usually find 2 outstanding 6m tables and 1 outstanding full ring. I just have to be willing to switch tables a little more often...recognize quickly when the ATMs have busted and shop the lobby while I wait for my blind to roll around.

I'm running at +8BB per 100 hands. (Admittedly, sample size is only 1300 hands.) But running hot + bonus clearing + r___back + Absolute Reward Pts (which accrue at top speed) = me very very happy.

But clearly, I'm the exception. Nobody else at 2p2 should play Absolute.
