The toughness of games at absolute

[Wynton]

I've only played 5/10 and lower there. But at 5/10, I have seen many tables where the stats for the entire table are quite TAGish, like 24/17. I have also noticed that many of the 5/10 players are multitabling at higher levels simultaneously.

Games seem much softer at 3/6, on the other hand.

I dropped almost 200bb in a day on ap at 25/50 playing 3-4 handed and HU. Do I think the games are tough? yeah. Unbeatable? No. Lots of variance? For sure.

I can only speak for the 25-50 game, but it is bad most of the time except for when it's really really good. Basically if there's a name you don't recognize, it's worth taking a look.

But it goes without saying that the reason to play Absolute is for rakeback/bonus whoring, which is the best out there AFAIK.

Hey guys I heard of this new poker room called party poker. They have these 10-20 games, I dont know if youve heard of them, but they are pretty soft. Just a headsup.

I love this thread as it has reinforced that I should not return to Absolute. I deposited and played 15/30 and 25/50 about two months ago - quickly dropped a few thousand, and decided there just weren't juicy enough games to waste the time. Seeing that all these regular posters play there is not making me rethink my Absolute boycott :P

I play 5/10 at Absolute, and today I saw the first loose-passive player in a week.. The tables are like 30/20, full with LAGs who fold the flop when you hit it [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Moving to party very soon..

A few of the players I hate at absolute:

any2willdo4u
yoggi bear
puccininy
hat rin
kimbola


I wonder how many of these are reading this forum.

[brazilio]

hat rin is pretty retarded HU from a few sessions I've seen.

These players aren't necessarily world class, I just hate them all and want them to go on 600BB downswings.
