how are the six-max games at Absolute?

I was considering making a deposit at Absolute, to check out the six-max (5/10 and lower). Can anyone offer some opinions about the level of play there at six-max, or anything else there I should know?

Kinda crappy, compared with everything else out there.

They are soft, just a different soft than Party. Mostly weak/tight with some passives in there. Not very many LAGs

I've been playing the 1/2 there. Can't speak for the higher limits because my bankroll took a beating recently...

But.. the 1/2 is very soft the majority of the time I'm the only TAG at the table. Hardly ever run into any true LAGs.. much much more loose passives than the Party Skins these days.

I'd say the average of my opponents is 50/5/1. Very beatable. Just don't push AK UI to the river HU because they will call with 5th pair. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

There are some good 5/10 games and some bad ones. Traffic is somewhat thin and sometimes I can't find a game worth playing even during primetime. Some of the regular decent players seem to be willing to play each other. No doubt this is the props versus the whores who are double-dipping bonus and rakeback.

Compared to Party and speaking in general, the TAGish regular players at Absolute have poor skills.

Compared to Party and speaking in general, the fish are more passive.

Compared to Party and speaking in general, the really bad fish are scarce.

With the abs RB and (re)deposit bonuses not stacking, your BB/100 is MUCH higher than it would be otherwise.

Abs games are for the most part fairly weak. Lots of open limpers. Lots of bad players.
