The toughness of games at absolute

Hey guys I heard of this new poker room called party poker. They have these 10-20 games, I dont know if youve heard of them, but they are pretty soft. Just a headsup.

I love this thread as it has reinforced that I should not return to Absolute. I deposited and played 15/30 and 25/50 about two months ago - quickly dropped a few thousand, and decided there just weren't juicy enough games to waste the time. Seeing that all these regular posters play there is not making me rethink my Absolute boycott :P

I play 5/10 at Absolute, and today I saw the first loose-passive player in a week.. The tables are like 30/20, full with LAGs who fold the flop when you hit it [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Moving to party very soon..

A few of the players I hate at absolute:

any2willdo4u
yoggi bear
puccininy
hat rin
kimbola


I wonder how many of these are reading this forum.

[geormiet]

It's not a 1 bb mistake. The play looks worse in a vacuum.

Ah, the age old question: choose nice rakeback deals or juicy games.

I believe this was one of the topics covered in the Lincoln/Douglas debates.

hat rin is pretty retarded HU from a few sessions I've seen.

These players aren't necessarily world class, I just hate them all and want them to go on 600BB downswings.
