I avoid absolute poker bonuses like the plague

SNOWBALL · #1 04-02-2006, 03:23 AM

The full ring games there are so bad that I haven't played there in a long time. On the other hand, the bonuses are really generous and not too tough to clear. Is it worth it to play at AP? It seems like the games are awful during any bonus offer period. Are the shorthanded games a lot better?

Play 2/4 short hand. The players there are horrible! They have a VP$P of over 80!

(Don't take me seriously, I just want more 2/4 players on there. As of right now there's only 4 2/4 games going on where as there is 10 1/2)

There is always an Absolute bonus period!... no one should play there without a bonus. However, bonus+rb is worth alot of dollars in total. You should compare your win rate there to other sites, and see if the B+RB makes up the difference or not for you.

Not worth it IMO

I used to play 6max limit there, and the games are beatable. But still a bit tougher than normal.

The games are tough, but at 1/2 and 2/4 short bonii and RB work out to be around 3BB/100. The full ring games are terrible and haven't played them in a long, long time.

Also the rake is brutal about 2 times higher than stars/Paradise at 2/4 while it is about the same at 1/2.

so, overall, if you're getting bonuses not a terrible place to play 1/2, wouldn't you say?

I would play this site if I could find a mod for it. It honestly hurts my eyes so bad that it keeps me from what is an obvious +EV opportunity (RB +bonus).

I agree with Layzie. I actually did pretty well there playing the NL tables, but the layout is just awful. I can't even look at the site, and there are other things that bother me so much on the site (typing in bets, the sounds, etc.) However the RB and bonuses flowing in make for a lot of extra money.
