Question about Absolute Poker

[westcoastO]

Hey guys--

Used to play online poker a lot but havent for quite a while. Recently won a freeroll on Absolute Poker for like $25 and just gonna use it to enter a couple bigger tournies or whatever, but I noticed a lot of bad reviews by you guys about Absolute. Was just curious as to why the bad reviews or whatever. I'll never deposit money into it, but worth a try to win something bigger with what I have so anything anyone can tell me would be a big help. Do they suck with payouts or is it the software or something completely different? Thanks in advance.

lol anyone got time to explain?

hate reading full versions of things, just like to get the skinny of it, but TY zoom.

I figure if I dump the money and lose then its no big deal, not mine anyway, and its only $25. But if I win anything I guess I'll just cash right out lol.

Anyone else with more info?

indeed...others that are better than absolute...but since it is free money just play with it til you get a good chunk and then withdraw...i think you could even transfer that money from absolute over to ultimate bet...i believe it was possible before...not sure about now though

well there's a 7K guaranteed for 20+2, figure ill just jump in that and if i collect anything significant cash out, if not no big deal, not my money.
