Is Absolute VIP worth looking into w/ bonus+RB

britdevine · #1 04-20-2006, 10:07 AM

I can easily maintain the 2nd level of Absolute VIP. With unlimited bonus + RB that has no MGR deduction, is this one of the better "home" sites to play on.

I play 1/2 or 2/4 limit and average 1.5-2BB/100 over 70k hands on various sites.

Can anyone whol plays alot of 1/2 limit on Absolute post what % of hands played count as a raked hand.

Bonus +28% RB is a little more than 3BB/100 for 1/2 6max. VIP points are like .3BB/100 on top of that.

This site is usually a rock garden so don't expect much in the way of winnings. The only reason to play there is RB + Bonus. If you don't have RB, don't bother playing AP

Been playing there alot recently. Usually I average 35%-40% on 1/2 6 max raked, but yesterday it was like 32%. Strange fluctuations. Its the only site that I've played on the has 10% point fluctuation.

If anyone has info on full ring games and the % of pots that are raked .50 it would be appreciated.

Thanks for the info so far, I am leaning toward making AP my main site at the moment..lets see what I feel like later.

Is there a better incentive program out there for a 8-10k hand a month 1/2 limit player

Not really. Next week it will be even lower. With more and more 2+2 posts about Absolute, this number will continue to drop.

42% for 1/2 and 59% at 2/4*

My win rates for these two limits are a little below half what they are for any other site - small sample size of course but it 'feels' right.

*I definately use a lot of table selection when playing on Absolute so if you just sit at random tables I'm sure these percentages will be lower. It's not uncommon at all for there to be five tables of 1/2 running with the highest average pot of all the tables being $8.

I hate it when people assume that since alot of 2+2'ers are there that they are tight and pro at poker. Not everyone here is good. Don't ever assume that.

Well then go get some, champ. Here's a delightful little 3/6 game with a table VPIP of 18, and an average pot size of $13. One of the better three 3/6 tables right now.

Get back to us after you mop up there.
