AbsolutePoker is a medium sized poker room where the action concentrates on Texas Hold'em, in particular short handed games. AbsolutePoker allows you to play at three tables simultaneously and this feature runs quite smoothly. The action at the tables is decent, with high 'viewed flop percentages' at the lower stakes tables. Presently, the site is endorsed by poker player Mark Seif who won two (!) 2005 WSOP bracelets. Real money player statistics - Oct, 2006: 1,000-1,750 ring game players during peak hours, 6,500-8,000 tournament players during peak hours.

Instant Play can be accessed via the all new Absolute Poker website, absolutepoker.com. Absolute Poker executives expect their no- download capability to increase existing poker activity dramatically as players can now log in from an airport lounge, office -- in fact from any location.
