Default So I\'m thinking about whoring Absolute...

Did some research on BW.com, but I couldn't find answers to the following questions.

1) Does the bonus expire? Or is it like Stars and UB where you have infinity to clear it?

2) Do you have to clear the entire requirement... or does it release in increments?

3) Worth doing? I've heard it takes a long time.

You have 1810 posts here and you don't know how to evaluate a site or a sites bonus on your own yet?

No wonder no one will answer you.

happy you wandered over?

actually, the wiseass that answered you is just a pretend wiseass. i hate to shatter his wiseass image, but other than his penchant for STEALING the GrannyMae screename at all new sites, he's actually one of the sweethearts here.

It took me 19 hours playing 3 tables to clear the $210 sign-up bonus! If you only play .50/1 it will take even longer. It was rare to find a 3 1/2 tables at the same time. The players there seemed mostly tight-passive. If the pots aren't regularly hitting $5, which happened a lot, get out of the room. Overall, it was a positive experience, but I probably wont whore there unless I can get 3 2/4 tables (pot has to hit $10) running. They need more players.

I am doing it at the mo, playing 0.5/1$ generally have to play 200-250 hands to gain 100 raked hands for each $10. It is deposited in increments thankfully.

The very very small table selection makes it difficult to acheive easily. Reckon it is going to take me best part of 3 weeks to earn the full bonus (maybe longer), the bonus expires after 60days and any unearnt 10$ increments lost.

How many players are on the site on a given night? 2000+?

the site typically states between 4000-6000 players with 400-800 tables but I have to imagine that half of them are on play tables because it has far less tables than other 4000-6000 player sites.

There's usually a handful of 3-6 games along with a 5-10 game. During peak times you'll find one 10-20 or two and four or five 5-10s. The site kills my computer, so its probably not worth it unless you enjoy playing two tight 2-4 games for 10 hours.

Despite three of four hundred dollars of bonuses, I've probably lost money at that sight, not to mention possibly missing other +ev games at other sites.
