Difference between 1/2 and 5/10 at Absolute poker.

[gotme]

Hey,

I've been bonus clearing at absolute lately (1/2 limit).

I'm a pretty educated player (SSHE, bit of HEPFAP, forum browsing). I have 10,000 hands logged in my PT database and i'v beaten the game for 3.35BB/100 - I may be running a bit hot, but I can feel how I'm outplaying my opponents.

I'd like to move up in limits at Absolute (so I can use bonuses to build my BR) - Can anyone tell me if the 2/4, 3/6 and 5/10 FR games play similar to the 1/2 level games?

Any tips would be great!

Everything above 1/2 is a goddamn rock garden there. Don't move up.

The site has gotten worse then it was even a few months ago. I remember when .5/1 was real loose at night, it's not anymore. As for moving up, I wouldn't recommend it as they really rake the 2/4 hard(worse than Party)and the good games break fast as the donaters get chopped much quicker than 1/2.......

I've found the same weak-tight full ring play predominates at Absolute from $1/2 to $5/10.

However, the guys who play $5/10 are much less likely to make incorrect decisions after the flop and will play back at you much harder if they have a hand.

I found the $2/4 much more profitable than $1/2 full ring, so you might just move up one level and check it out.

1/2 is infested with bonus whores, but 2/4, 3/6, and 5/10 are infested with rocks so the different is as pronounced as it is at other sites. If you play smart, aggressive poker you can win a decent amount, but the rocks make large winrates very difficult to achieve.
