Absolute changing bonus T&C....?

Is absolute still worth playing if you're playing $3-6 up to $5-10, 6 handed tables? I haven't signed up yet since the games are generally pretty tight. I have been toying around with the idea though, but I seem to remember reading here that it's not as good as it used to be, or it's just not worth it anymore. Was that reason primarily because of the reason listed in this post/

I wish more 2+2ers felt the same way.

I love the .10/.25 & .25/.50 NL 6 max tables at Absolute and was basically calling this home. I'm looking for someplace new now - probably try Pokerroom next.

A lot of us do.....I didnt play at party before the split and yet Im still affected by the mass exodus of players!!!
Had that not happen AP would still be sweet to play at.

At 6-max .50/1 you could get almost 100% RB through bonuses alone. Now they suck ass....they've effectively found a way to make themselves suck even more...just as some of us were starting to give them a second chance....their wont be a third for me.

But then again I'm in an on-going battle with their affiliate department and that has probabaly biased me quite a bit about them overall.

Pokerroom has a worse rake structure, one of the highest out there, plus no rakeback. Absolute is a great deal compared to them.

Of course it helps to know how to play winning poker at any of these sites. Might be easier to learn to do that rather than complaining about how your sweet deal as a rock is evaporating.

Wow, this is spiteful. You know my game sucks? My issue is the complete lack of customer support, and the fact that for 15 days now I have been unable to open the client. I have tried every workaround possible, and have not been given one peice of advice from Absolute. But go ahead and lay that 'rock living on rakeback' line on me. It makes for good reading.

I once read something comparing arguing on the internet to the special olympics. Do you need the punch line?

Regards,

Nate.

cos to do both u need to have fitness comparable to a well bodied person and it would take more dedication and will power than any of us here could ever imagine?

Sorry you took it personally, it was really meant as a generic shot at the CONSTANT harping about moving from .25 to .50 minimum rake to get a bonus point. It's only been a topic for 3 weeks. And you may know how to play, hope you do, but it seems an awful lot of people don't, they just open up 8 tables and constantly fold anything that isn't AA, KK or QQ while collecting bonus and rakeback. Sorry, but I have no respect for that type of "player".

I have been anti Absolute since they sent a collection agency after me for withdrawing money I had deposited/won!

You can get the "r" word at the skins. As high as 30% that I know of for normal/small volume players.
