Absolute Poker is a large poker room which is part of its own network. This site was started in 2001 and it still accepts U.S. players, which is why they maintain high player traffic. The selection of games available includes Texas Hold’em, Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, Seven Card Stud, Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo, Razz and Blackjack. The Absolute Poker software has a playable interface that has recently improved with the Absolute Poker 8.0 software upgrade. Now the lobby is more organized, displaying the game types in separate tabs and includes useful information such as hands per hour, average pot size and viewed-flop percentage.
The functionality of the tournament lobby is outstanding; you can find anything you want from Satellites to Guaranteed tournaments. The look and feel of the tables is different as well and three table views are available: classic view, top view and quarter view. The software has customizable icons; you can even use pictures on your computer as icons on the tables. The hand history feature is more functional and the tables are resizable. The improvement of the graphics is evident and play is faster than ever. This poker room offers 24/7 customer support via email and chat, the Absolute Poker website also includes a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section.
While Absolute Poker is on it's own network, feel free to check out Carbon Poker and Full Tilt Poker that are also independent networks.
