I recently deposited some money on to Absolute since I heard they have a wider choice of lower SnGs. Could someone tell me what I should know about this website? From what I've seen it seems pretty decent, but I want some feedback. Thanks in advance.

Not my favorite for the following reasons --
  • the upped the requirements for a raked hand, making it tougher to clear bonuses
    memory intensive software doesn't play well with other software
    ring tables max out at three open (they fix this?)
    I can't seem to find a soft table

Fun avatar.
I'm a know-it-all.




No, really.

 The SnGs take awhile to fill up. The blinds structure is SLOW. Compared to PokerStars (both have 10 min blinds, and they both start with 1500 I believe):
Blinds, PS level, AP level
15/20, 1, 2
50/100, 4, 6
200/400, 8, 11

So you get a lot more time. I couldn't really adjust to the structure (either played too tight, or too loose).

i like the 200BB max buyins for cash games.

it is one of the ugliest sites, and their sound effects are pretty irritating.

frequent bonuses, but as said, not the easiest of most rewarding to clear.

 wow
negativity

Low sngs are easy on ap, this is coming from possibly the worst sng player on the site
cash games are ok upto 100nl, but you're playing 6 max, not many full ring games going on.
mtts are a gambool fest.
I dont think theres much wrong with the interface, but lots of others do. Ive never had problems multi tabling. And they fixed the multitabling probs, you can play at least 4 possibly more ive never tried.
Bonus are hard to clear as noted and best only for 50nl or 100nl cash games.
