    anyone ever play at absolute poker
    was thinking of joining but not that impressed with software.......but was wondering if traffic is good and competition soft?

      I have played about 40,000 hands at Absolute. Here are my "goods" and "bads"

      "goods"
      • They offer reload bonuses several times a week, so it is possible to always be working on a bonus. the terms are reasonable, and the bonus releases in $10 increments.
      • They have a decent loyalty program wherein you can trade in your player points for merchandise.
      • Frequent freeroll tournaments
      • Good traffic
      • Decent game selection


      "bads"
      • They pay proposition players to play there at $3/6 and above holdem and $2/4 and above other games. Coupled with the tight-aggressive bonus chasers that frequent the site it makes these tables tougher than average to beat.
      • The software is clunky.
      • 9-seat full-ring tables (vice ten)


      Good Luck!

        I believe it was Mike Caro who said that any 10 handed hold em game is a waste of time...there should be no more than
        9. I prefer 6-max, but to each his own, right? The competition is definitely not as soft as, say, Party, but it could be harder I suppose. And there are indeed a lot of regulars that you'll come to recognize, whether or not they're props is anyone's guess...give it a try though, they do have a decent sign-up bonus, and poker is poker....just make sure you have pokertracker so you can scout a table before sitting there. Table selection is the single most important thing to keep in mind when trying to be profitable.

            Yes, there's a seperate program (I think) for O8. I sure hope you're a tightass if you want to make money at that game!

              There are 3 versions of Poker Tracker: one for holdem, one for omaha (both hi and hi/lo) and one for 7Stud.

                It's an absolute rock garden.
                If you aren't a bigger than 3/6 5/10 player, it is pretty blahsay action... Well, action is the wrong word, but you get my point:>
