Re: The toughness of games at absolute
Because I get 3-bet by overcards a lot of the time. I don't want these overcards to check behind on the turn and I'd rather do this and lead than gaybet the turn. It prevents a better hand from raising the turn sometimes. When I do have a good hand, I get to bet-3bet the turn. After I do this a couple times, people stop 3-betting the flop with overcards and I have an easier time playing.

[ QUOTE ] Wow. The end looks like megatilt! [/ QUOTE ] I don't think so. It is hard to lose that much in such a short time even if you tried. [/ QUOTE ] I can't tell if this is serious or not. I don't think losing 100BB is all that hard. I play a lower variance style and still have these types of swings in both directions close to daily.

[/ QUOTE ] Yeah, I guess I phrased what I meant wrong. I meant that this could easily happen do to simple variance, and that tilting is probably not the reason for a drastic drop like that.

Re: The toughness of games at absolute
I can only speak for the 25-50 game, but it is bad most of the time except for when it's really really good. Basically if there's a name you don't recognize, it's worth taking a look.
But it goes without saying that the reason to play Absolute is for rakeback/bonus whoring, which is the best out there AFAIK.
