Absolute Poker Review

AbsolutePoker was established in 2003, but it could not make an impact on the poker player community, but this did not deter this poker room, as it tried out new ways of finding a foothold for itself in the world of online poker. It took a giant leap in 2008 when it joined forces with Ultimate Poker to form the CEREUS Poker network. The creation of this new network has certainly brought a dramatic change to both these poker rooms in way of increased player traffic.

Absolute Poker Software:

The new CEREUS network software has introduced a variety of new features that are common with all the top online poker rooms. However, in comparison, it has a relatively simple interface with a clear-cut lobby, but offers all the features of a good poker room, such as a fast and stable game play.

Multi-tabling options, player statistics, hand histories, final table deal making, pot betting etc are the features offered by Absolute Poker. Also available is a four-coloured deck for better visibility and a live chat window so that players may interact with one another. It may not give you all the attractions of an online poker room, but it sure is a solid poker site.

Absolute Poker Room Games:

Absolute Poker offers Texas Holdem, Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, 7 Card Stud, 7 Card Stud Hi-Lo and Razz. The competition is still soft at Absolute Poker even after its shift to the CEREUS network with the lower and middle stakes providing a lot of loose games, as players targeting these levels are mostly amateurs. The average flop percentages fall in the range of 50 to 60%.

A large number of multi-table tournaments and sit and go tournaments with low buy-ins of $1 and exceeding to thousands of dollars are offered here. Apart from these tournaments, there are the guaranteed tournaments with weekly guaranteed tournaments amounting to $500,000.

Also available are qualifiers to major live poker events. Tournaments fill fast and move at a fast pace while game play is loose. There are not too many freerolls available, but the special freeroll tournaments offer some lucrative cash prizes.
