Absolute Poker Review

 

Absolute Poker refurbished its online poker Rakeback program in mid 2009, now paying 30% Contributed Rakeback to any player who signs up an online poker account through our web site. Absolute’s Contributed Rakeback deal is best suited for loose, aggressive poker players who see a lot of flops and aren’t afraid to go after a big pot. These types of players will earn the highest Rakeback rewards from Absolute Poker.

Since joining the Cereus Poker Network with sister-site UltimateBet, absolute Poker has jumped multiple rungs of the ladder to take a solid position as one of the top online poker sites, with a sizeable player base and much more valuable promotions. New players earn a 1505 up to $500 welcome bonus, followed by lots of other benefits, like Freerolls, live event satellites, reload bonuses and more. The game variety is above average, with enough traffic to keep the tables active in all variants. US players are welcome.

Absolute Poker Rakeback – Rakeback Program

 

Absolute Poker pays 30% Contributed Rakeback to any online poker player who signs up with the online poker room through our web site. Contributed Rakeback is based on the actual amount a player contributes to the poker rake. The percentage the player contributes to the pot is the percentage he contributes to the rake.

For example, a player drops $10 into a $25 pot. That’s 40% of the total pot. The $25 pot is raked at $1.25. The player’s contribution to the rake is 40%, which is $0.50. The player’s 30% Contributed Rakeback is based on this $0.50 contributed rake. 30% of $0.50 = $0.15 Rakeback.

A player must contribute to the pot in order to receive Rakeback. As we already established, the more a player contributes, the more Rakeback they will earn. For these reasons, a loose/aggressive poker player stands to gain the most from the Absolute Poker Contributed Rakeback deal. Loose players like to see the flop, and when an advantageous moment comes along, they aren’t afraid to invest to get grab hold of the pot.

Absolute Poker Rakeback – Rakeback Payments

 

Absolute Poker deposits your Rakeback earnings directly into the player’s online poker account. Payments are made once per month, no later than the 15th. Daily updates are visible in the player’s Absolute Poker Rakeback account.

Absolute Poker Rakeback – Tournament Rakeback

 

Yes, Absolute Poker pays 30% Tournament Rakeback, on top of the regular Rakeback method. Tournament Rakeback is paid for Multi-Table and Sit’n’Go tournaments, so long as there is a fee associated with entry. The fee is the smaller amount attached to the buy-in. For instance, a $20+$2 has a $20 buy-in and a $2 fee. The $2 fee is where your 30% Tournament Rakeback comes from (30% of $2 = $0.60 Tournament Rakeback).

Absolute Poker Rakeback – Bonus Deductions

 

Absolute Poker instated new Rakeback policies as of July 2009, stating that all bonus monies will be deducted from the player’s gross rake. For US players, processing fees will also be deducted in full.

Absolute Poker – Poker Rake Structure

Absolute Poker has an intricate rake structure that varies greatly by the limit, stakes and number of players at the table. For the most part, the online poker room follows the industry standard 5% rake, but some variances are found in specific stakes and table sizes, especially heads-up games. For example, high stakes heads-up games take only a 1% rake, capped at $1. The cheapest heads-up games actually take a 10% rake with no max rake cap.

Absolute Poker – Software

Absolute Poker is powered by software from the Cereus Poker Network, giving players an all-inclusive online poker experience that closely mirrors the live poker room experience. Just like live casinos, players can go rabbit hunting, use a time bank and make deals at the final table. The lobby offers good search filtering options and all of the necessary stats to find a suitable table. Personal stats are available at the tables. The hand history function is great for players of all levels to hone their skills on the virtual felt. Best of all, Absolute Poker supplies its software in two versions, one for PC, and another for Mac poker players.

Absolute Poker - Game Variety

Absolute Poker supplies a great selection of online poker variants, including the newest addition of 7-Deuce Holdem. Other games include Texas Holdem, Omaha High and Hi-Lo, Seven Card Stud High and Hi-Lo, Razz and HORSE.

Absolute Poker - Tournaments

Absolute Poker has a massive tournament schedule topped off by more than $500k in guarantees each weekend. Saturdays offer $100k GTD and $25k Sniper (bounty) tournament. The prize pools jump on Sunday with $20k, $100k and $200k GTDs, plus a $40k Sniper tournament.

Absolute Poker offers Freerolls on a regular basis, as well as many standard MTT and SNG tournaments. Buy-ins start at $1, scaling up into the hundreds. With a substantial traffic rate, the competition at Freerolls and cheaper buy-in events is often very loose, tightening up as the stakes get higher. Live event satellites are common, but don’t expect an easy time of it at these highly competitive tourneys.
