Easy to use, feature rich software. - Established in 2003 and registered in Canada, Absolute Poker has a fast growing player base. The software is one of the easiest to find your way around, everything is well set out and easy to find. Apart from their fantastic promotions (lots of reload bonuses) the 'rabbit cam' feature really sets Absolute apart from the rest of the pack. After you have enabled this option you will be able to replay previous hands and also see what card would have come, had the action not stopped at that point. Great for the more curious of us who would love to know whether our straight or flush would have arrived had we not folded. Absolute also have a no-download version of their software which is suitable for MAC users.

Everyone enjoys a *Bounty Tournament, but this one is just a bit different. With Absolute Assassins you boost your bankroll along the way by gaining the bounties on your opponents’ heads whilst battling on to the Holy Grail of Poker, Main Event WSOP 08. *In a Bounty Tournament every player has a price on his head, as with the Absolute Assassin Main Event above where half of the buy in is the bounty on your head and will be won by a player should they knock you out, of course it's not all bad, if you knock another player out you'll receive the price on their head - knock more than 1 out and you'll still receive the bounty for each and every one.

Cash Games. At medium and low level stakes there are always plenty of tables to choose from, although the action at the high stakes tables can be a bit scarce in comparison to the larger poker rooms. As always most of the traffic is at the Texas Holdem tables although there's also a good amount of traffic at their Omaha tables especially at mid levels. There's seem to be a definite preference for the 6-seater cash tables at Absolute Poker, if you prefer the 9-seater tables you may have to join a waiting list or even start your own table and wait for some other players to arrive.

Want the added chance of winning big just for playing your favourite ring game, then join an Absolute Bad Beat Jackpot table. Signified by Jackpot in brackets and red text in the lobby, these tables give you the added chance of winning a fantastic jackpot as you play. Get beaten holding a hand of four of a kind eights (8888) or better, then you'll automatically receive 50% of the current bad beat jackpot, the winner of the hand will get 25% and the rest of the players at the table share the remaining 25%. Absolute collects $0.50 from pot of each raked hand and the jackpot will keep growing until someone hits a Bad Beat.

Promotions. Absolute Poker regularly offers reload promotions, keep an eye on the splash screen when you sign-in to be sure not to miss any offers. Absolute Poker excel at generous sign-up bonuses and regular reload bonuses - lots of players have described their bonus program as almost as good as being paid to play.

Competition. At the lower levels the competition is very soft at Absolute Poker. Check the player / flop percentage in the cash lobby, anything in the 50's or 60's is loose, you can regularly find tables at Absolute Poker with percentages of 70 or even 80.
