The full 2/4 games also died right after they made it harder to clear bonuses.

It seems like the Absolute 2/4 has really fallen apart. I did most of my play there between June and November, got very caught up in the bonus/unmentionable chasing thing. By the start of this month I was really sick of the Absolute rock-like conditions and decided to take a month and check out other sites.

Have played alot at Party, and Stars (clearing old bonuses) and I'm much happier on these sites even without the unmbntionables. The games are just so much better.

So, I probably won't be back at Absolute for a while.

there are currently 12 $3-$6 6 max, 14 $1-$2 6 max, but only ONE $2-$4 6 max game going. How are the $3-$6 games at absolute? Almost worth moving up just to get a good game.

Full 3/6 is usually poor but you can sometimes find a good game... I havn't played 3/6 short there.

You cannot datamine at absolute, but there really is no reason for it. There aren't that many different players there. Once you play for a week or so, then you will typically have stats on at least 3 of the other 5 players at any given table.

BTW, the rake at absolute 2/4 is terrible. You might as well play 3/6 if you can, since the rake is more reasonable and you get double ARPs -- even though they are not worth that much.

Thanks, i was just wondering about datamining because I am currently playing 2-4 6 max and wanted to get some stats on the 3-6 game. How is the 3-6 6 max game there currenty? I figure it cant be that bad, there are like 10 of them going. I have rb at 28% and clearing the bonus. rb is worth about 3/4 as much as the bonuses thus far.

My 3/6 6m experience at ABS has been hit or miss. I've also noticed a lot of people entering their games without a proper bankroll, thus the games tend to break up faster than I would like. It seems like I'm always having to find another table since I have a lot of trouble multi-tabling when several of the tables are extra short.
Overall, after playing about 10k hands there, PT shows VP$IP 34 and PFR 9.7. 633 Winners and 951 losers.
