Absolute poker, friend loves it, what do you guys think?
 

Hey all,
One of my buddies has been playing absolute NL and he loves it. He plays .5/1 NL and just can't say enough good things about it. I'll be playing 2/4 to 5/10 NL and curious what you guys have to say, he said the bonuses there are awesome. Are they hard to clear? How's the customer service? And would you recomend the site?

Thanks in advance.

They have a lot of reload bonuses but I think they are very hard to clear below 2/4. It's a rock garden. You can probably make more money at party

I don't know about now but they used to have continual bonuses, plus you can get RB if you go to that forum and ask.

Re: Absolute poker, friend loves it, what do you guys think?
 

Yes they have tons of bonuses and rakeback thats not taken off of MGR but the bonoses are a pain in the ass to clear at the lower limits.

There are $200 bonuses each this Saturday and Sunday.

did you read the post? NL . . . .

Re: Absolute poker, friend loves it, what do you guys think?
 

They just switched from .25 rake to .50 rake to get a point for bonus. This may seriously hinder clearing rates depending on level you play.

software sucks, but the nl games are goot. dont expect to find any 5-10nl games or to find 4 tables of 2/4nl. oh yeah and u can buy in for 200bbs...

thanks for the input guys. I do play 2/4 up to 5/10 NL so there usually isn't a problem clearing bonuses, especially when I 4 table 5/10 NL. But I guess that's not an option due to lack of players. I guess I'll get hooked up for rakeback and check out the bonuses and give it at least a little bit of my time. Thanks for the input guys.

Yes but they expire after 60 days.

Any insights into the 2/4 limit games at Absolute? Easy to clear the new .50 raked hand at that limit? Soft games? Also can I do the 200% AP200 bonus and then the Sat and Sun day bonii? Plus rakeback, seems to good to be true. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I dunno about 2/4, but yea you can reload for Sat/Sun bonus

They have reloads Wed, Sat and Sun of every week, so up to $600 a week in bonuses.

Re: Absolute poker, friend loves it, what do you guys think?
 

I never had any trouble beating their 2/4, and it should definitely be easier now because of something I can't talk about. Some people find it tight, but I made a grip when I played 2/4 there.

and yeah their rakeback + bonus are sweet.
