So I'm thinking about whoring Absolute...

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.

The text on their website and in some of the emails is somewhat vague (along the lines of 'expires if not accessed'). I emailed their support and asked and they said that any unearned portion of the bonus expires 60 days after the deposit was made.

That said, I spent a lot of time on Absolute last week finally going to work on the $310 in bonuses I had ($210 deposit and $100 reload) and I cleared $140 before my 60 days expired. The next day (and even still a week later) the other $170 is still listed on my cashier page.

So maybe earning a $10 chunk does reset the 60 day clock or maybe they're just confused or maybe ...

I agree, I did some whoring on AP and found Party with no bonus was higher EV.

Ok, heres what you shoud do.

1. Drink heavily, for at least 48 hours.

2. Sleep it off, when you wake up it will seem like a bad dream.

3. Go back to your favorite RB party skin and show everyone who the real boss is.

Absolute is a cool site but I cant play 3 tables because it sucks up my computer resources on my desktop and moy notebook is ok for 3 tabling, but I feel like I am missing something if I cant have multiple accounts open at a time and I really dont like playing with my notebook next to my main computer with 2 mice.

I posted a request for some assistance in gathering hands played/raked information this last week and got no response. I was wanting to accumulate data for different game limits to calculate the crearability of various bonuses at different sites. The results were to be shared with anyone asking questions like this. The only response I got was something to the effect of "Bonus Whores does this". While Bonus Whores does give some info about some of the sites, I was going to go into more detail. I hope you get the answersd you are looking for, as I too am interested in Absolute, but am wondering if it is another UB.

If you are starting out w/not much money Aboslute Poker can be a great Bank Roll Builder. It seems like every week they offer a 15% Neteller Bonus up to $100(In fact they have one today). Party may have a higher EV, but if you are looking for no negative variance and a positive EV, not much better place to go than Absolute Poker.

You'll have to play between 6:00pm and 11:00 pm eastern IMO to get 3 tables going fairly easily.

Do you still play 0.5/1? Otherwise don't bother. It's not like game selection is bad, it's more like there are no games above 0.5/1 on anything resembling a regular basis.

Hell will freeze over before you even find three full 3/6 games.

I normally play 2/4, but I actually prefer .5/1 to clear boniieeuses

Well then, all you need to figure out is if Absolute hates your computer or not. If it hates your computer playing three tables there will bring a top of the line computer to it's knees. (We're talking 3ghz processor, 1gb ram computer kneeling here.)

If you can multitable without it eating your computer, and can live with no game selection, but usually atleast three 0.5/1 games are going then you're set to go.

If you can play, and are willing to play 0.5/1 (or the rare higher game you spot) the bonus isn't too terrible to clear.

I think your hourly rate at Party 2/4 will be better though.
