Is anyone actually going to continue playing at Absolute Poker?

[SpaceAce]

By "anyone", I really mean $3/$6 and $5/$10-level players. I can't come up with a single reason to stay at Absolute Poker with the changes going into effect next month. It's already nearly impossible to clear the bonuses; they've become such a joke that I stopped making deposits.

I guess Absolute feels this is the time to put the screws to the people who have made them a success. They must be planning on on a lot of $75/$150 action because I expect the $3/$6 tables to be a wasteland come next month.

what changes are you refering to?

and what do you mean the bonus is almost impossible to clear?

i was just getting ready to hit up their $750 sign up bonus

People still play limit?

They have changed the bonus clearing requirements. You now have to see a flop and the pot raked 0.5$ to get a raked hand credited. Next month they are also going to change the way rakeback is calculated.

Customer service at Absolute is also brutal. Expect at least 1/3 of your emails to go unanswered.

hmm, how will the way RB gets calculated change? also what is the deal with their merger with uB? Still happening? If so, how will all these changes effect UB and their rakeback?

Why do NL players continue to insult limit players - I don't understand. is it their aggressive nature? Over and over Limit players are insulted in many threads.

Is it because NL players are fish when they play limit and thus must iinsult to make themselves feel better?

Yes

I started as a limit player. Anyone who likes money has moved on though.
