Absolute Poker Room Review


Absolute Poker.com Overview



is part of the CEREUS network, a merger between Absolute and Ultimate Bet. This has resulted in one of the largest player bases in the world. Infused with state of the art fraud detection software, CEREUS has set out to prove itself a safe and lively place to play. This is one of the networks that still allow US customers at real money tables.

Absolute Poker hosts an average of 20,000+ players daily and offers a variety of games for ring and tournament play. Limit, No-limit, and Pot-limit stakes can be found for Hold'em, Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, 7 Card Stud, 7 Card Stud Hi/Lo, and Razz. They also offer mixed games such as HORSE and HOSE, although these rarely get traffic. Most of the players are logged in to play low-to-mid stakes No-limit Hold'em, which has a lot more traffic since the addition of a new Bad Beat Jackpot (more about this below). There usually aren't many high stakes games played at Absolute, but they have an occasional 10/20 table running. There are quite a few Omaha/Stud tables being played regularly, although mostly at low stakes.

The Sit & Go traffic at Absolute Poker is much like their ring traffic. There are plenty of games being played, most of them in the low-mid buy-in range ($10 - $40). They offer all games listed above as SnG, but good luck getting anything but Hold'em to run. The most popular games are their regular or turbo 9 player Hold'em, with 6 max being a close second. Speaking of turbo, their ultra-turbo tournaments are pretty crazy, with blinds going up every 2 minutes! Compare this to standard turbos which have 5 minute blind levels, and regular SnGs which have 10 minute blinds levels. You can also find heads-up, all the way up to $1000.

Absolute Poker isn't really known for their multi-table tournaments, but they are still growing. They offer many daily guaranteed tournaments and their weekend specials total $220k guaranteed. Among the more popular MTTs are the $100,000 Pro Bounty every Wednesday (which puts bounties on Absolute pro players but has a very large buy-in at $1000 + $50); and some escalating pots ranging from a $1000 guaranteed ($1 rebuy) to a $17k guaranteed ($30 rebuy). Their other weekly tournaments are on the upswing and they just recently raised the prize pool to $150,000 on Saturday ($500 + $30) and $70,000 on Sunday ($150 + $12). Most sites usually have their largest tournament on a Sunday, which is good for the weekend players.

While playing in real money tournaments at Absolute Poker, you will earn points for their Absolute Rewards Program. They award points a bit differently than most sites: by pot size and not by rake. For example, "For every 40˘ in the final pot, 0.1 Reward Points are awarded and distributed among those players that have contributed to the pot. The distribution of points to players is based on their percentage contributions to the pot.” They also award .1 points for every 40˘ in tournament buy-ins, not including rake. Currently, you can use these points for special tournaments or to purchase items in their store. They offer poker books, clothing and some electronics.

Poker Room Review You are not safe @ Absolute by seoul_child1 on 19 Oct 2007
Interface:  1/5    Action:  1/5    Fish:  1/5    Bonuses:  1/5    Support:  1/5   
in light of the recent security vulnerability concerning a superuser acct. i highly recommend all new users not to play @ Absolute or it's sister site UB. solely based on the purpose of protecting your small initial investment, you may have withdrawal/frozen acct. issues when and if actions are taken. play at your own risk, if you choose to disregard this review.

I wouldn't deposit a penny there. The support is useless and they attempeted to cover up a security breach.
