How is Absolute?

I seem to have run out of bonus opportunities for the sites that I like (Party, Stars, Paradise, PR). Looking at Bonuswhores, it seems like the best bet to collect bonuses is at Absolute. However, I have read that at its peak, there are 100(!) ring game players. That doesn't seem right, but it got me thinking. Is Absolute worth playing for a .5/1 and 1/2 player like I am? Are there really that small a number of people playing at a time?

Seems to be more hassel than it is worth from what I have seen and read. Crappy software and no action.

Normally there are 3 or 4 full .5/1 ring games and about 6 or 7 full 1/2 games.

I play .5/1 at that site and generally to get 10 bucks in bonus at that limit I have to play about 230 hands on average.

Its ok, but there's really only one juicy table going at each limit, so its a bit of a drag.

Site used to be fishy, but with all the bonuses and rakeback players the site has gotten tight, very tight. 2 + 2'ers and bonuswhores are at every table. Friday and Saturday nights are the best for fish. The bonus/rakeback make it profitable to play there. Clear the bonus and get money and get more in rakeback. Double sweetness!!!!

Absolute can be a goldmine but it needs to be managed correctly.

I give it a look everyday. Also everytime it is time to switch tables. I play 5/10 and have seen good results, however table selection plays a big role in this.
