March, 2021 - Absolute Poker and their sister room UB Poker (Ultimate Bet) were shut down by the U.S. government on April 15th, 2011 (Black Friday). This network, the Cereus Poker Network, has made no attempt to refund player bankrolls. If you had money on either of these US poker rooms 2013 it is very unlikely that you will ever see it. Other rooms were shut down, Pokerstars for example, and have since paid back their American players. Absolute Poker chose to file for bankruptcy and run away. The 7CardStudStrategy.com is deeply sorry for the loss of your hard earned money. There really wasn't any way we could have predicted that this room would do this. I would never had listed them on this web site if I thought that this could happen. There are currently arrest warrants and court cases pending for the owners of this poker room. This used to be one of the best online poker sites but now Bet Online and Bovada have taken over as the top online poker rooms in 2013.
I do not want to give you any false hope but the U.S. Department of Justice froze millions of dollars that Absolute Poker had in banks around the world. Perhaps in time they will use these funds to refund everyone who lost money. In the mean time you can write your elected officials and express your outrage over the government trying to control how you spend your time and money. Read my Stud Poker news blog for updates on the Absolute Poker situation. If you are looking for a poker room to replace Absolute Poker I would suggest giving Bovada a try. Check here for an Absolute Poker download in 2013. They are home to one of the largest sportsbooks, casinos and boast a rapidly growing poker room.

March, 2021 - Absolute Poker is a medium sized online poker room that is open to U.S. players. In late 2009 they updated their software and now offer more poker and casino games, all built into the poker client, than any other poker room/casino. Absolute Poker offers 8 poker games including 7cardstud, 7cardstud hilo and razz poker along with over 40 casino games. You won't have to create a separate account to play the casino games because they are all built in to the poker software so you can play Stud which chasing one of their progressive jackpot slot machines or table games. Read our Pokerstars 2013 review or this Juicy Stakes Poker review for info about poker rooms that are still open. You can use this Pokerstars coupon code for a special bonus.
Absolute Poker boasts traffic in the 25,000 range during peak hours and since their software update this number has been steadily rising. Their promotions and VIP program are very rewarding, even more so in 2013. The Stud poker action at Absolute Poker has never been spectacular but I have noticed a steady increase during the last couple months. Absolute Poker is one of the rare rooms that boasts much more 7 Card Stud H/L traffic than Stud or Razz. I attribute this to the fact that the action at the Stud HL tables is considerably softer compared to what you'll find at Full Tilt Poker or Poker Stars. Their legendary Badbeat Jackpot is also very popular, unfortunately the Stud tables are not part of that promotion. Pokerstars US players can visit Bovada.lv.
The first deposit bonus at Absolute Poker is a 150% match up to $500, when you use our special referral code for 2013. When you are signing up you will be asked to enter a referral code. Entering the code BIG500 will ensure you receive the top bonus. The bonus will be credited to your real money account in small increments so you won't have to wait months to receive a dime of it, like you would at other rooms. Their multi-tiered VIP system allows you to earn points faster as you move up the VIP ladder. In addition to this you will also earn 2X the number of points through their "Power Hour" promotion. For example, if you are a night person like me and tend to play well into the night you will earn twice as many points from 1:00 AM - 4:00 AM (ET). Another benefit of signing up at Absolute Poker through 7CardStudStrategy.com is the re-load bonuses! You'll receive 6-7 reload offers per month as part of our special agreement with Absolute Poker.
Absolute Poker boasts around 25,000 players during their busy hours. Absolute Poker has an abnormally large 7 Card Stud HI-Lo community. I don't know of any other poker room that has more Stud HiLo traffic than Stud or Razz poker traffic. Stud HL and Stud receive the majority of the action and the competition is quite soft compared to other poker rooms I have played at. Each game usually has active tables ranging from micro-stakes to medium stakes. There are also active tables with stakes ranging from $30/60 to $100/200 pretty much around the clock, especially at the Stud HL tables. Other web sites have no problem with lying about how much traffic a particular poker room has. Nothing is worse than reading that "XXX Poker has great Stud traffic", only to find out that the Stud tables are deserted around the clock. I'm not going to waste your time with this unethical type of marketing. I have taken screen shots of the lobbies for each game so you can see the traffic for yourself.
The Stud poker tournament action at Absolute Poker is appalling compared to how much traffic the Stud variant tables receive. During the week days you will only find micro-small buy-in Stud HL tournaments. They have more than enough traffic to warrant a full line-up of Stud, Stud HL and Razz tournaments so I'm not quite sure why this is.
The casino games are Absolute Poker's newer features and one of their most popular. They have offered Blackjack and Blackjack tournaments for several years but in January of 2012 they added a full line-up of casino games as well. Here is an overview of the casino games offered by Absolute Poker:
I hold accounts at several online casinos and none of them offer more games than Absolute Poker. Some of these games are very addicting. I play the 3X3 Hold slot machines almost every day now, especially Ghouls Gold.
Like many other online poker sites, Absolute Poker only offers customer service through email currently. The great thing however is that they have one of the best web sites around for getting answers to your questions before you even have to ask. They have a database deep with FAQ questions that are easy to find and read. If you need support from a representative, the response times are usually pretty quick and the answers are always well informed. The nice thing with Absolute Poker is that between the web site and their service representatives there is a very strong and competent feeling. In other words, they know what they are talking about and will get your problems solved, unlike some of the other rooms out there! Bovada is the best Western Union US poker site in 2013.
