Poker Player Competition |
| There are more players at the lower limits on Absolute Poker where the games are fairly loose, often with a 'viewed flop percentage' over 50%. So, some nice juicy games for the small stakes player. You can normally find decent Hold'em games up to the $2-$4 limits and for No-Limit up to $1-$2. At the full ring games and the middle limits around $2-$4, the games become much tighter and will average around 30% or less for the 'viewed flop percentages |
Poker Software & Graphics |
| The Absolute Poker software is fairly quick but not impossible to follow. The nice feature is the auto replay where you can replay any hand you were dealt cards in a new window. |
