Why I Love Absolute Poker - Page 3

Yes they will, the CS is actually interested in keeping players. The tech support is like Party CS - incompent would be an improvement.

I had the same problem, AP suggested I open a new account for the rakeback. Unbelievable. If they'd fix the frickin' software it would be my main site by a big margin.

yeah, clearing 600 a week there would mean I wouldn't have any time for my other 5 sites I like to play each day. Plus they only let you play three ring tables at a time. They need to up that to 4 very soon.

If anyone is doing the clearing of 600 bonus a week, and is on a rake back plan, what does the rake back come to?

This might be fun to try for a month to see how much is possible to get back from bonuses and rake back.

$2400 in bonus would be roughly 36000 hands. 25% rakeback should be at least $3k (assuming 1/2 or better).

Looks like if you can play break even poker, max out every bonus $5.4K or more a month.

I have a new goal in life.

Whoa, I just looked at Absolute's site, 50% to 500 for a first Neteller bonus? Whhhhhhhhhhhhat? Whhhhhhhhhat?

The catch is...?

The catch is that you actually have to play there. The site sucks for all the reasons mentioned in this thread and many more . . . brutal graphics, very few games at each limit, pretty tight play are just a few that come to mind.

I lasted about a day there when I first tried it and had to leave when I had the violent urge to poke my eyes out. I would play at Party with no rakeback and no bonuses before I would ever venture back to Absolute. If they had any clue they would spend money improving their software . . . then all these bonuses would bring them a TONNE of business.

They hardly have any NL games.

I played enough to get over $200 in Bonus and another
$75 in rakeback.

Pretty nice, but I was having trouble finding games
I like to play (I rarely play HE on the net, it's a
live thing for me).

So I went nuts playing stud/8, which I suck at (break
even long term). I mean nuts. I hate not showing a
profit at play. It killed me psychologicly.

So I'm on a 3+ week hiatus, playing other sites, hoping
AP gets enough players to get me interested again....

How are the games at Absolute? If their Neteller is fast and they don't ask for SS or anything I'll give it a shot.

This is what I want to know. Also, I think I downloaded their client, but never funded the account. I seem to recall their graphics being an eye sore.

Now, this is the story I remember about AP. Glad to hear I'm not too out of it.

I want to love Absolute, I really do. And I've tried. But to me Absolute is an ugly woman with a killer body.You want to love her because of the body, but you just can't get by the face. And the ugly face of Absolute is the clunke software - it is just brutal, and I just can't get past it.
