Absolute Poker

Podsumowanie (ocenione na 8 z 10)

Wraz z nieustającym rozwojem przemysłu pokera online, co raz trudniejsze staje się zauważenie nowo powstałych stron. Jednak są serwisy które znalazły na to sposób i Absolute Poker jest jedną z nich. Co odróżnia tę stronę od innych to początkowy i dodatkowy bonus co w połączeniu ze słabszymi niż zazwyczaj przeciwnikami, sugeruje że można się spodziewać dość dobrych wyników.

Wybór Gier (ocenione na 7 z 10)

Być może nie jest to oferta najbogatsza na rynku ale zdecydowanie oferuje dość ciekawą i szeroką gamę gier. Gry stolikowe są tego doskonałym przykładem, w ofercie można znaleźć standardowo gry typu NL, Limit and PL Hold’em, Omaha, Omaha HI/LO, 7-card stud and 7-card stud HI/LO, niestety nie ma w ofercie bardziej unikalnych gier takich jak 5-card draw, HORSE czy Razz. Stawki również zadowolą przeciętnego gracza, ponieważ można znaleźć bardzo wiele gier na niskich i średnich stawkach, jednakże niewiele jest gier dla grających na wysokich stawkach. Jednak ten podział pozwoli zadowolić znaczną większość graczy. Wybór Turniejów jest naprawdę szeroki, więc powinien się spodobać każdemu, a w szczególności grającym w turnieje sit-and-go. Nie tylko wybór wpisowego jak i wielkości turniejów jest ogromna, ale dodatkowo można znaleźć turnieje w grach innych niż hold’em oraz turnieje eliminacyjne sit-and-go. Dwa ostatnie przypadki są raczej rzadkością w świecie pokera online. Turnieje te nie mają takiego rozmachu ale kilka z nich w grach typu Omaha czy 7-card stud jest na pewno miłą odmianą. Oczywiście ogromna ilość freerolli i gier z niskim wpisowym na pewno przypadnie do gustu przeciętnemu graczowi.

Jakość Graczy (ocenione na 7 z 10)

Jednym z głównych efektów promocji Absolute w stronę przeciętnych graczy w wielu aspektach jest to przyciągnięcie znacznej ilości słabych i początkujących graczy. Zazwyczaj strony, które oferują nieco wyższy standard usług dla prawdziwych graczy pokerowych, będą miały jednakowo wysoki poziom graczy. Będzie to prawdą dla rosnących stawek, jednak nie aż tak znacząco jak w przypadku innych stron, gdzie nie ma aż tak wielu słabych graczy. Są ku temu dwa powody. Świetne bonusy i stoliki o niskich limitach na których można je wydać. Jest możliwe dla niedoświadczonych czy nawet początkujących graczy aby zapisać się i rozegrać wymaganą ilość rozdań nie ryzykując przy tym zbyt dużej części ich portfela. Jednak z drugiej strony, z powodu równie wspaniałych bonusów z redepozytem, wielu słabych graczy utrzyma się wystarczająco długo aby zawędrować z mikro limitów na stoły 50c/$1 gdzie bardzo możliwe rozstaną się ze swoimi pieniędzmi. Jak zawsze , słowo ostrzeżenia, gdzie pojawiają sie rybki wkrótce zjawiają się rekiny.

Oprogramowanie (ocenione na 8 z 10)

W oprogramowaniu Absolute nie ma niczego nadzwyczajnego co mogłoby utrudnić lub zepsuć rozrywkę. Pomimo że nie ma w nim nic wyjątkowego, wszystko jest na swoim miejscu aby utrzymać bezproblemową grę w pokera. Kolejnym powodem dla którego jest to dobre miejsce dla początkujących jest fakt, iż zarówno strona jak i wszystkie odmiany pokera mają bardzo dobre przewodniki. Obsługa klienta jest również kompetentna i na bardzo wysokim poziomie. Szybkość rozgrywki jest zapewniona przez same stoły na których rzadko można narzekać na brak akcji. Gry turniejowe wydają się mieć generalnie bardzo dobrą strukturę, pod względem blindów czy nagród, których jest kilka w zależności od potrzeb dla turniejów planowanych i typu sit-and-go. Można również zauważyć częste uaktualnienia oprogramowania, jednak ich instalacja jest szybka i bezbolesna.

wróć na górę

Grafika (ocenione na 7 z 10)

Jedynym poważnym rozczarowaniem może być mało ciekawa grafika. Nie jest to na pewno jakiś poważny problem i spędzony przez ciebie czas w żaden sposób na tym nie ucierpi. Jednakże jest to nieco zaskakujące że strona z tak wieloma zaletami nie poświęciła więcej czasu na rozwój grafiki. Główne menu użytkownika jest najprostsze z możliwych, jednak bez ubytku w funkcjonalność, z poprawnie umieszczonym przyciskiem cashier. Lista turniejów i stołów jest dobrze zorganizowana, a nawigacja pośród nich jest łatwa i przyjemna. Gdy przejdziemy do stolika, grafika pozostanie przyjemna ale ponownie nie znajdziemy w niej nic nadzwyczajnego. Jednak jest pewien mały dodatek - możliwość ściągnięcia własnego avatara lub ‘skina’ spośród tech dostępnych na stronie lub wgranie własnego. Umożliwia to graczom stworzenie pewnego wizerunku oraz zabawę z wizerunkiem jaki prezentują na stole. Poza tym , pod względem kart i chipsów wszystko jest standardowe i przeciętne. Jedynym małym problemem jest trudność w zauważeniu wielkości podbicia, należy odwołać się do wcześniej zaznaczonego przycisku call.

wróć na górę

Opłacalność (ocenione na 10 z 10)

Niewątpliwie największą zaletą i powodem dla którego coraz większe ilości graczy będą tu przychodzić jest ilość pieniędzy które można tu wygrać. Udało sie połączyć świetne bonusy, niski poziom graczy i dużą ilość stołów na których można ich spotkać. Początkowy Bonus jest szczególnie godny polecenia, niesamowite 100% aż do $750 i co najlepsze, poziom trudności w wyrobieniu jest w miarę rozsądny. A w dodatku dają co dość hojny bonus do ponownego depozytu, tak na wypadek gdyby pierwsze $750 nie wystarczyło. Jedynym minusem jeśli chodzi o opłacalność tych bonusów jest fakt że wielu graczy będzie grało bardzo tight mając na celu zmniejszenie ryzyka do minimum aż osiągną wymaganą ilość rozdań. Wymaga to jedynie małej zmiany w sposobie gry, należy nieco zastraszyć przeciwnika co przyniesie natychmiastową korzyść. Ogólnie Absolute jest stroną na której można zarówno uczyć się grać jak i czerpać z tego zyski.

Good site, fairly easy to clear

Posted Apr 19, 2008 by jugadorjavier

Absolute usually has many tables going, although it is sometimes hard to find non Jackpot tables (extra .50 in rake). I found this bonus very easy to clear at low stakes limit.

My Review at Absolute Poker

Posted Mar 15, 2008 by Eisbox

One of my favourite sites!

The players on Absolute are really horrible and the software is easy to handle.

The bonus takes some time on Absolute but you can earn a lot of money in addition to the savvypoints!



           

OK site

Posted Mar 12, 2008 by uglycard

I liked this site, even i lost my depo totally :) Good games also in omaha, not many players, but good games.



           

Not the best Poker room!

Posted Mar 07, 2008 by carefulmic

I had so many bad beats there, sick!
The support is ok, also the graphic.
The frequency of players is average, and there are not so straong.



           

Middle of the road

Posted Mar 05, 2008 by Jason101

The competition was pretty weak, and the bonus was fairly easy to clear, but the lack of non-jackpot tables and the worrying frequency players show down identical hands to amass a large amount of rake whilst splitting the pot was a little worrying.

Support was terrible - I emailed them two days ago and am still yet to receive any reply from them - not good.

Also, the fact you can't cash out direct to a card is a bit of a major pain, and I had to start a neteller account just so I could withdraw funds.

Not the best, but good for a weak game of holdem.



           

Easy to complete

Posted Feb 29, 2008 by SlimboKarvell

The Absolute Savvy Bonus is easy to complete as 300 RH is not a lot. In addition the signup Bonus is released in increments, so that you can add some of it before completing the Savvy Bonus. There are always a lot of tables at Absolute and the competition is rather soft at the lower limits. Therefore the Bonus should be one of the easiest on the site!



           

Absolute

Posted Feb 11, 2008 by nappis

Absolute poker software is one of the best I've ever tried. There wasn't as many bad players as some other sites might have. The bad beat jackpot was huge and you could win it at almost any table.



           

Points are great, the site is not.

Posted Jan 28, 2008 by recochica

Unless you are looking to play no limit, or shorthanded limit, this is not the site for you. Shorthanded limit, is very loose and almost manically aggressive. Omahaha hi lo is soft, but I could find at most two tables going. 7 card stud is also rather soft, but tables are hard to come by. Almost all of the lower limit tables have a jackpot rake attached to them, which really puts a dent in your bankroll ran extended play session. The savvy points are easy to clear, and are credited very quickly, however the bonus itself is just a disaster. I managed to clear just 10 dollars in bonus money. An easy way to check if you have met the savvy requirements are to open up all your hand histories at the end of a session, organize them by pot size, and count all the hands that are $10 or higher.



           

Soft games

Posted Jan 15, 2008 by Filbertino

The no limit Texas Hold'em games seemed to be very soft and the bonus was quite easy to clear in NL100. Thw withdrawal was not the fastest around though. But no problems still.



           

Review at AbsolutPoker

Posted Jan 09, 2008 by Huddl0410

I had very much fun playing at AbsolutPoker.
I think its one of the best pokersoftwares i've played since now.

Good points are:
- you can choose the tableview and
design
- you have overall stats, not only for
the
actual session
- ralatively stable connections
- relatively good but fair players
- good overview over all your actions

Easy to clear

Posted Jan 07, 2008 by SheriffWoo

In order to get the SavvyPoits you need to play 300 raked hands that are raked more than $0.50, which is easily achievable by playing NL50 SH. It took me 3 days to clear it. Best thing is, you only need to be dealt hands in order to get them. No contribution needed!The competition is not the best, I took some nice extra profit out of it.



           

Absolute is Ok!

Posted Jan 03, 2008 by Galle23

Absolute Poker is a good site. My biggest complain was the slow cash out time, but other than that I enjoyed the software and thought the games were weak! Recommended for other Savvy Users!



           

My Absolute Poker Review

Posted Dec 11, 2007 by evvk73

Absolute Poker is was rough to me! (Laughs) I was dealt really good hands, but just couldn't win them! I guess that's just part of poker. Reaching the necessary raked hands was quite easy, and there are plenty of tables to choose from. Overall, I recommend the Absolute Poker bonus to others and hope all of you have better luck than me!



           

My Absolute Poker Review!

Posted Dec 04, 2007 by ollippeti

Absolute Poker was an absolutely horrible place to play. Their customer service sucked, normally it took a couple of days for them to reply to a simple question. I still haven't been able to withdraw my money from Absolute Poker, despite the fact that I have already sent them a picture of my drivers license and utility bill. The software and graphics were terrible. The quality of players was very bad and almost every table was Bad Beat Jackpot table. They earn one star for having a very easy PokerSavvy bonus, otherwise I don't recommend this poker room!



           

My Absolute Poker Review!

Posted Dec 04, 2007 by airiane

This bonus is easy to clear, but one should play at $100 max buy-in no-limit tables at the least, maybe $50 max buy-in is okay too. The software is nice and up-to-date though the player base could be bigger. Most of the cash game action happens at Bad Beat Jackpot tables which I disliked since they take an additional $0.50 from every pot to pay for it. It took me about 2,500 hands at shorthanded tables to clear this bonus, so as I said, it doesn't take very long to clear this bonus.



           

My Absolute Poker Review!

Posted Nov 29, 2007 by Henk_M

The Absolute Poker software was slow but practical because of the resizeable tables. There is a wide variety of different players at Absolute. The Bad Beat Jackpot tables are irritating and you have to pay too much extra rake because of that. The bonus is hard to get, but once you finish it the reward makes it worth it!



           

Easy bonus points!

Posted Nov 12, 2007 by canyons

It was very easy to complete the needed 300 raked hands, otherwise the rake system is difficult to deal with. I played for about a week at $0.10/$0.25 and $0.05/$0.10 no-limit Hold'em tables to clear this bonus. Their software was quite simple, but barren and lacking features. The graphics weren't the best but it's possible to get used to it. Personally, I didn't like the look of the tables, but the most important thing is the gameplay. Overall, I gave this room only three stars because I have liked other rooms better than this one. May the odds be with you!



           

My Absolute Poker Review!

Posted Nov 09, 2007 by Mr_Andrew

Absolute Poker's software has a nice layout. The bonus is not very easy to clear playing below $50 max buy-in no-limit Hold'em, although the players at this site were pretty bad.



           

My Absolute Poker Review!

This site is full of terrible players that thrive on catching cards in either limit or no-limit games. I wasn't really impressed with this poker room.



           

Fixed-Limit Grinding at Absolute Poker...

Posted Oct 13, 2007 by Afrikantahti

I cleared the requirements for the SavvyPoints bonus in October 2007. The site didn't leave a very good impression on me, here are the reasons why... Few players, hard to find tables I wanted to play at, and the player quality was above average. Lots of 'ABC' poker players playing a tight-aggressive game who knew when to lay a hand down. Everybody played at the jackpot tables, which I didn't understand at all. Hence, I played in them too and paid rake plus a jackpot contribution. This made making a profit even harder. When I cashed out my balance it was down $140, I think this was the first site where I actually clearly lost money. If I have to mention something positive I would say that the software was decent and the cash transaction speed is good. Overall, I really can't recommend this site for a low level fixed limit player.



           

Absolutely!

Posted Oct 03, 2007 by Bonterosa

Absolute Poker is very fine poker room, although I didn't so much like the graphics and the colors used. But, after all, the SavvyPoints bonus is easy to complete and also Absolute's own deposit bonus is quite easy to complete.



           

Nothing for fixed-limit multi-tabling...

Posted Sep 21, 2007 by Cathamenia

Absolute Poker has very nice software, an easy to clear bonus, good graphical features plus you can chose three different table layouts. Unfortunately, there are not enough tables for multi-tabling $3/$6, $2/$4, or $1/$2 fixed-limit Hold'em games.



           

My Absolute Poker Review!

Posted Sep 19, 2007 by tomikos

Nice, unique software and fishy opponents. The bonus is not easy to clear playing $25 max buy-in no-limit, to speed things up I recommend playing $50 max buy-in minimum. Of course, to earn a raked hand, a minimum of $.50 must be raked.



           

Bad Beat Jackpots?

Posted Sep 18, 2007 by bogus26

Absolute Poker has good software, and resizable windows. It's not as good as PokerStars, but way better than many others. Players seems to be okay, lots of loose players as usual, but also some decent players. The main problem is that most of their cash game tables have a Bad Beat Jackpot, and that considerably increases the amount of rake you pay. For that reason I think absolute is an okay deal for earning some SavvyPoints, but not a place to stay.



           

My Absolute Poker Review!

Posted Sep 05, 2007 by late

This is a hard bonus to finish, but Absolute Poker is a very good place to play. Great tournaments and nice graphics!



           

Many Jackpot Tables!

Posted Aug 20, 2007 by pokerpig

The biggest problem was the rake structure. They mostly only offer jackpot tables making it a bit harder to make a fortune. PokerSavvy offers a nice and easy to clear bonus at Absolute Poker. The players there aren't so good, and the bonus was easy to clear playing at micro to low stakes. I cleared this one in about three days.



           

Ugly software, best deposit bonus...

Posted Aug 17, 2007 by Dime

For $1/$2 limits and lower you will find too few non-jackpot tables, never sit down at the jackpot tables, you will be paying $0.50 every time the flop is dealt, so it's just -EV. The non-jackpot tables don't draw so many fish. I would recommend playing on this site if you play at medium or higher stakes. The SavvyPoints are pretty easy to clear, though!



           

Great bonus!

Posted Aug 14, 2007 by Leviathan

This was a great site to play at. Good software, loose opponents and above all, you didn't have to contribute to the pot. So, the SavvyPoints came real easy...



           

Woulda Been Better If I Could Read!

Posted Aug 09, 2007 by markusgc

I mis-read the PokerSavvy raked hands definition and thought they were the same as the Absolute Points requirements. Well, you don't have to be as dumb as me! You just have to be dealt cards in a hand where the rake is at least $0.50. That's a pot of about $10. In order to receive 1 Absolute Point, YOU have to see the flop, but that's not the case for it to count towards the PokerSavvy promo. I played WAY more hands than I needed to, unfortunately. :(

Anyway, their software is fine. Maybe a little big for multi-tabling, I could barely fit three tables on my screen. The play is average. As has been mentioned previously, 6-max tables are much more prevalent here. However, I prefer those, so I got lucky in that regard! The withdrawal time is very reasonable, too.

Overall, it's probably a pretty easy promo as long as you're not reading-impaired as I am apparently!



           

Lovely Poker Room!

Posted Aug 02, 2007 by ALEX78

Absolute Poker is a lovely, familiar poker room. The Software looks good and is easy to use and to understand. They have a very nice bonus system. If you cash in you get a 100% instant bonus up to $250 on your first deposit. They release your bonus very fast for playing. Absolute was the first poker room where I got the whole bonus they offered before it expired. The feeling there is a little familiar. You often have to wait a few minutes before you get a seat at a table, but it only takes a few days and you'll know your opponents there. By the way, you can find any kind of poker game there! There are a lot of tournaments, fixed limit cash games, no-limit cash games, etc. I love Absolute Poker and you can always find me there...



           

Easy!

Posted Jul 14, 2007 by Moro84

Very, very easy to complete playing cash games. I played only three days at two $0.25/$0.50 tables for few hours each day...



           

My Absolute Poker Review!

Posted Jun 27, 2007 by jazzo33

Nope, can't really say I liked this one. The software is bad, you can't even adjust the size of the windows, so multi-tabling is virtually impossible. Only funny thing that I noticed was the rabbit cam, which allows you to see what the next card would've been after you fold, but that is useless if the rest is so bad. Won't be coming back here no more!



           

Short handed only!

Posted Jun 22, 2007 by SlamALot

Absolute Poker is a good place for players who like to play at short handed tables. Full ring tables are rare. The tables are not resizeable. So, it's not the place I want to play.



           

Nice software, nice games.

Posted Jun 18, 2007 by bsidensol

I really like the replay feature they have and I like the structure of their sit'n'goes. Main problem is not enough players and having to wait for games to fill up.



           

Great site!

Posted May 23, 2007 by vize2002

I love this site! The software is fast and stable, but unfortunately not resizeable. The SavvyPoints are earned very fast and so is the deposit bonus. If you do not like shorthanded Hold'em limit play, I recommend not signing-up, since there are about zero full ring tables open.

Easy SavvyPoints!

Posted Mar 18, 2007 by badford

I might have had luck but the SavvyPoints were really easy to earn. I was playing $2/4 limit Hold'em. I'd like to say that there were a lot of good players as well.



           

I'm a Beginner...

Posted Mar 13, 2007 by 13salomo13

I'm a new player and I was surprised that I earned the required points with just a $100 deposit. Maybe it was beginner's luck. I was mostly playing $0.25/0.50 and $0.50/1 limits. The skill level of players isn't very good in my opinion because I was doing pretty good. A good place to learn how to play!



           

For Shorthanded Fans

Posted Feb 27, 2007 by Fabmaszter

The software is good with many options and a very good stats overview. The opponents are not really good, they call down to the river with nothing so you often get a bad beat. But as a good player you have an edge over them! The only thing I really didn't like and the reason for only 3 stars is that usually only the shorthanded tables were filled. Normally not even one full ring table is going. I played $.50/1 but the other limits are nearly the same.



           

Hard games

Posted Feb 14, 2007 by Gotama

I lost a lot of money at Absolute Poker. Got the full bonus, but still lost a lot. Too many good players around there, so be careful when you risk your money at the tables at Absolute Poker.

like how the rake worked

Posted Aug 15, 2006 by Zach46290

not a bad site everything was about average but the one thing i did really like was it counts for a raked hand every time you are dealt cards and not just every time you put money into the pot so it felt like it did not take very long



           

Normal all the way

Posted Aug 04, 2006 by difiCa

This is just so flat out basic room with a basic software and a basic competition, which is a bit on the good side. However the game traffic is what this site lacks, you might not find a single low limit full ring game in the european evening, and the american evening doesn't really improve matters. Altough you can find some low limit shorthanded games as well as short handed no limit games, the traffic is bad. The other games than hold'em are about dead. The bonus clearing system is nice.



           

Hard Points

Posted Jul 25, 2006 by WVPokerGod

Man, this one was hard to pull off. The players are tough on this site, and you have to play at least the $1.00 big blinds table to get points. I was glad I finally completed this, because I was playing outside of my comfort zone!
