Absolute Poker

The house limits and rake vary depending on the table and game you are playing at. Limits range from 0.02c/0,04c up to $75/$150 for Limit games and from 0.10c up to $10 for Pot Limit and No Limit games. The standard rake at a full table is 5% up to a cap of $3. There is also a "no flop no drop" policy where no rake is charged if there is no flop. Heads up Fixed Limit $75/$150 has a rake cap of $5.

The traffic at the site when tested for this review was extremely high. Seats available at most small to medium limit cash tables and not a lot of wait time for the single table tournaments to fill. At the time of writing (11:00PM Friday night, New York Time) there were around 11,500 players on 1770 tables. Like most sites, player ability levels cover the whole spectrum and you can reasonably expect to see the ability of players matched to the table limits they are playing.

All the usual features are on offer. Cashier, lobby and tables are easy to navigate around, making playability very good. Fold, Check, Bet/Raise buttons and big and clear. The table chat window also provides access to game and hand statistics and you can also call for the Floor Manager to attend your game. You can even upload your own image to be shown in your player box when you sit at a table. A button at top left of your screen allows you to playback a replay of your hand. Re-live that Royal Flush or see where you could have played better

The software proved very reliable and easy to use. Some of the extra features include:

• Playing Stats - Detailed information at your finger tips to help improve you game.


• Player Notes - This handy feature could save (or make) you a lot of cash down the line.


• Find a Player - Helps you to find a friend or a fish.
