I like it very much. Sit n goes are good. The satellites to the 100K are a little misleading because they only lead you to another qualifier for the 100K tourney but other than that I prefer it better than party poker. I built my small, very small, tiny bankroll from a $100. I think I won $5 or $7 than built up from there. I'm holding steady as of this point. Good luck at AP. Maybe I'll see you there. I go by the name of Kraigus.

I have played at Absolute for some time. In fact, I am wearing an Absolute shirt as we speak!

The Absolute SNG's are the best. One, two, three, or five table SNG's give you lots of choices. I have played $6, $10, and $20. The competition at $6 is usually very soft. I can cash almost every time unless I get a bad beat or just terrible cards. I have done very well at $10 and $20 also.

The Absolute freerolls have lots of people in them but you only can win a little bit of money. Not bad for beginners, but you will spend several hours if you go deep.

Ring games at Absolute are okay, but I have seen some nasty rivers!

The SNG's are good, the Freerolls are nothing but poker bingo but can be decent practice at MTT's once the all-in fest slows down.

This place might be just the thing to get me off my bad luck streak. I just joined and played a 9 player SnG, won first place and $45! Instantly made up for all the money I was down from Titan. But there was some really questionable betting, so it reinforces the idea that there are lots of bad players at Absolute. Works for me!

Absolute is great if you are playing sit and go's. Unless you have 5 hours to waste, stay away from the freerolls, little payout for such a long time. To me their buy-ins is where your time is better spent.
