My Absolute Experience

[badace1973]

Well I want to tell you guys what happened to me at absolute poker a couple of months ago. They had a contest freeroll were the winner would play their spokes model, the beautiful Serinda, in a heads up match. I won the freeroll. Now the heads up match would either give you a 15,000dollar guaranteed tourny entry if you lost or a 100000dollar tourny entry if you won. So on the day it was suppose to take place she didnt show up. They didnt even have a room ready for the heads up match. So I contacted support and they at first said it would be postponed. Then one of the top guys emailed me and said I was suppose to have contacted them earlier to set it up. I informed him he was full of shit and showed him off his own online magazine were the time and date was already set. Well he apologized and said I would be entered in the 100,000dollar guaranteed tourny without even having to play Serinda. So I was happy. Now comes the crazy part. The next day this big wig emails me again and says he needed a favor from me. He asked me if I would write something about the imaginary contest I had with Serinda for their magazine or news letter. He wanted me to fake the contest. I thought about it and said what the heck I'll do it. So if anyone read that on the news letter it was fake lol. I made myself sound like a genius lol. Anyways I thought maybe you guys would get a kick out of that. By the way I played like crap in the tourny and didnt make a nicke; LOL

My experience...

I had some money lying around in Moneybookers and decided I'd join a new site to grind a bonus, so I picked Absolute Poker.

software: horrible. cannot multi table effectively on here as the tables grab focus constantly
cust serv: seems good, one of the few sites with a phone # you can call and speak to a live person within minutes
traffic: obv not as much as stars/fulltilt but probably on par with cake and definitely better than the euro sites
game selection: I'm not finding the games to be exceptionally soft, but I do seem to be running poorly as I'll raise KK and get donks calling me with crap like Q5 but hit two pair by the turn.

Working off the bonus is ok. I started off playing NL50 but tonight decided to switch to 1/2 Limit. Right now I just want to get the bonus done with asap and get my money off here as I really cannot play with this software.

Still waiting for my rakeback application to be confirmed though.
