Ok, am noticing a new trend at Absolute and it's fricking annoying. Seems that no matter what level NL you play there nearly every person at the table has bought-in for the minimum and just seems to be almost not worth playing as decent hands aren't getting paid off as profitably as they should.

Did I miss the memo or something, I mean what the hell started this new fad and is endemic at other sites as well, cause at the moment I'm seriously considering leaving Absolute because of it.

The only upside to it I can see is that with such short stacks, and mis-reads or mistakes aren't punished as harshly as they could be.
