Absolute Poker Mac Review
Absolute Poker Mac SoftwareThe recent upgrade of their software client to ň€˜Absolute 8.0ň€˛ made a large difference to both the navigation of the lobby and the general playability of this online poker site. While there are some nice features and a cleaner look to the client, it is still far from the leader in this field - with many sites focusing more effort on this area. Some great new features for multi-tablers, a choice of table view and large clear betting action buttons combine to make Absolute Poker more playable than ever. Another great addition to the software upgrade was of course the decision to make it compatible with Mac computer users. With thousands of people buying up Macň€™s on a weekly basis, it was a no-brainer for the development team at AP to make sure those users were taken care of nicely when it came to their online poker room of choice! The Mac software at AP is available in a No Download version and can be played straight from your Safari or Netscape browser.
Absolute Poker Bonus and Promotions
New players can claim the generous Absolute Poker sign-up bonus of 150% to $500 by using bonus code EASYCODE. This clears into your account in increments as you play, making the money readily available. This bonus is not one of the fastest to clear, however this siteň€™s bonuses and promotions have the advantage of being almost perpetual. By the time you have completed the play-through requirements of your sign-up bonus you will have the opportunity to claim a monthly reload, and so on - with some sensible money management this means it is possible to always have the advantage of a bonus at Absolute Poker. In addition to their guaranteed prize pool tournaments there are regular freerolls at Absolute and a chance to qualify for the ň€˜Absolute Dream Packageň€™ of multiple prestigious live event entries too. In addition you will find one of the ň€˜bad-beat jackpotsň€™ of Absolute And Ultimate Bet combined as part of the Cereus Merger - making this potentially the largest anywhere online.
Absolute Poker Games Selection
With more than 25,000 simultaneous players at peak times of evenings and weekends, there are a wide selection of tables to choose from. As elsewhere this is biased towards the no-limit Holdem tables, with Omaha a growing but distant 2nd. Those who enjoy fixed limit betting will find many tables running, however these tend to play very tight as they are often used to clear the many bonuses this site offer. In contrast the No-limit tables, which start with blinds of just 5c / 10c can often be loose and wild. Tournaments provide a reason for many players to sign-up at Absolute, with more recreational players entering compared to some of the larger US-friendly sites. Both the multi-table and Sit N Go Tournaments have a reputation for being soft - with buy-ins starting at just $1 right up to the regular $1k events. Tournament blackjack is also available for those players who enjoy this variation.
