Poll on Absolute Poker Performance

For me (and I've heard others complain) it gets really bad as soon as you try to play >1 table. With more than one table it will eventually go crazy with their weird logging process (ho.exe) constantly writing huge amounts of data (normally it constantly writes small amounts of data).

I sent support an email and they sent me back some pointless boilerplate document on how to fix my computer. It included all kinds of useless/annoying/dangerous crap ranging from deleting my cookies to uninstalling any anti-virus software (??!!). When I sent back an "um no, you don't understand" email, they didn't understand that either, and I gave up.

Now I just won't play >1 table there if I play there at all.

Hand histories have been really flaky lately too.

Interesting. Next time (If I bother trying it again) I will monitor disk performance. Do you know what this process (ho.exe) logs?

I don't get problems until I play a third table. Strange
enough, I can mointor a third table while playing two and
have no problems.

I can usually play two without a problem, sometimes three w/it slowing down occaisionally. However I can't play 3 Absolute + Pokerroom or Bodog, those sites seem to slow down considerably when I have Absolute also running. Absolute + Party seems to work fine, w/some infrequent lag at max tables for both.

sry for the hijack, but the new bodog software is tight- i played some HU stud there last night, and the action is so instant that wew were getting probably 300+ hands/hr. sweeet.


now if i could only stay out of the sportsbook...

Not sure what it logs exactly, but I assume it's whatever the "get logs for support" feature looks at. I can see it going nuts with filemon (www.sysinternals.com).
