Absolute Poker is a better than average poker room. It is a solid place to try your luck at winning big whether you are an old pro or just starting out. A great thing about this poker room is they accept players from everywhere including the U.S, and take good care of them. They offer good bonuses with multiple reload bonuses every month. Their software is good overall, and depending on what special features you are looking for you will most likely find it here. They have a wide variety of tournaments that offer plenty of exciting action. Weak competition is almost always found here, so for you pros easy money is there for the taking.

Software
The software at Absolute Poker is actually really cool. They have really upgraded their software in the past year. In the past they had problems with running slow especially on older computers. They claim to have fixed the problems when they upgraded, and I have had no problems playing at the site. Navigating the site is trouble free and easy. They offer handy functions such as multi table play, hand history and rabbit cams. You can take player notes, personalize your image and customize your table to your liking. One of the most unique features is the video replays. This allows you to see how the hand was played which shows you your mistakes or your opponents and helps improve your overall game. Absolute poker also offers you instant play. When you’re not at your own computer play without having to download the software. It is also Mac user friendly. Absolute Poker offers great graphics and smooth play. A big improvement since 2007.

Bonuses
The bonuses offered at Absolute Poker are decent. They offer a 100% first time bonus on all deposits up to $500 which is nice. Reload bonuses up that go in range as high as 100% to 15% which is a plus for returning players. The bad beat jackpot is a hit, bounty’s make the games more interesting and referring a friend can get you $75 and your friend $50. Poker rooms are very competitive with their bonuses and I have rarely seen better.

Tournaments
Absolute Poker has a tournament for every kind of player. No matter what you are looking for you can find it here. Of course they have the sit n go’s, that never stop and are available 24 hours a day and start up every few minutes. With buy ins as low as $1 for the low stakes players and go all the way up to $5000 for you high rollers. But they also offer extensive tournaments with big payouts such as, the weekly guaranteed $200,000 weekends. Saturdays offer the $150,000 tournaments where depending on the number of entrants you can win top dollar, and Sundays have the guaranteed $75,000. So every weekend there is a chance for you to turn your skills into big money. There are around 10,000 players online during peak hours all playing for real money.

Competition
The competition at Absolute Poker ranges from loose to soft basically it’s no good. If you are looking for highly skilled players who actually fold there 6 4 off suit to a big raise look elsewhere. But keep in mind if you are a patient player taking advantage of the 6 4 players can lead you to a big bank roll!

Customer Support
Absolute Poker encourages player feedback. They are always looking for ways to improve their site. They currently offer email only 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Emails are usually answered within 15 hours or less. A FAQ page is also available. A downfall of this site is that they offer no live support whatsoever.
