Overview:

Absolute Poker is a fastly growing poker community that offers a good overall playing experience with traffic numbers with around a decent 10,000 real money players during the peak hours. The cash game action is mainly focused to short-handed micro-limit Texas Holdem games, but you can play other games like Omaha and Seven-Card Stud as well. Lots of players literally throw their poker chips away. You will usually be able to find good Holdem games up to the $2-$4 fixed-limits, and $1-$2 in no-limit as well. Weak competition in the Holdem section. Great frequent player program including weekly re-load bonus offers. Solid email support. No live or telephone support service.

Bonuses:

They offer high 150% up to $500 bonus. Use referral code POSBONUS, to release bonus, when creating your account. Must earn 17-20 Status Points for each $1 in bonus money. The amount of Status Points needed to clear the bonus depends on your status level. Bonus is released in increments of $5. Bonus does not expire.

Competition:

Absolute Poker has always been one of the softest sites to play on, with plenty of beginners and out-and-out loose and terrible play very common. With the move to Cereus, expect competition to get a bit stiffer, but not too much. The majority of the action will stay at the low and medium limits, with games varying from fairly loose to just plain loose. Games in the lower limits can have a viewed-flop percentage reaching 50-60% or more, which translates into action-packed, juicy games for a small-stakes player.

Software and Games:

Absolute Poker has always offered decent software, but as usual it lacked those little “extras” that would make it one of the best. With the recent updates and the move to the Cereus network, that’s definitely changed. The latest version is smooth, fast and reliable along with offering a lot of new features. The graphics are cleaner, and with custom table backgrounds, good customization options and multiple table views, all players can fit the software to their own taste. Download Absolute Poker now!

Tournaments:

Absolute Poker hosts a ton of tournaments and most poker players should find something they like. Tournaments have buy-ins ranging from $1 up to $5,000 and are normally quite packed, loose and fast. Play at any level is still a bit looser and juicier than the average site, and even the bigger buy-in tournaments offer a quite loose play. Absolute Poker was already on the map for its weekly $150,000 and $75,000 guaranteed tournaments, with very high turnouts and great value in the loose and fast play along with the move to Cereus, it’s now bumped the weekend tournament guarantees to an impressive $500k total. On top of the regular sit-and-go and MTT lineup, Absolute Poker also offers lots of qualifiers to big live events, with plenty of low-buy-in satellites and chances to work your way up to big ticket packages.

Freerolls:

Freerolls are probably not their best bet overall, if you’re looking for a big score, but good all the same for learning how to play and padding your poker t-shirt collection. Beside the frequent small freerolls, Absolute Poker also offers some $10,000 seasonal freerolls and other special events with huge value. Try out the “Absolute Swag” and “Poker Aces” freerolls to win t-shirts, polos, books and more.

Financial Security:

Good. The new company behind Absolute Poker is very reputable, and with the increased security put in place, merger players can be very confident all financial transactions will be handled correctly and securely.
