Absolute Poker

Absolute Poker is a well established poker room, made notorious by a few scandals in the past, but have now taken a few steps to put that behind them with a new ownership group and a merger with Ultimate Bet. Already offering fund transfers between the two sites since late 2008 the two rooms completed the shift to the new Cereus poker network, greatly increasing the player base and overall traffic volume. The new motto for Cereus is "Bigger. Badder. Better."

Absolute Poker has created an overall high-quality poker room, offering great, easy-to-use software and an excellent playing experience. The Absolute Poker software went through a major update as a result of the merger and now offers all the features expected from a major player in the online poker community - fast play, good looking graphics, nice statistics functions and really great multi-table functionality. The game variety at Absolute Poker is also very good, offering Texas Hold'em, Omaha, Omaha Hi-Lo, Seven-Card Stud, Seven-Card Stud Hi-Lo, Razz, H.O.R.S.E. and H.O.S.E. The action is still somewhat concentrated to Texas Hold'em, and in particular shorthanded games, but Omaha is picking up in popularity as are the mixed games.

Real-money player stats as of June 2009 now show 1,800 ring-game players at peak hours and 9,000 tournament players at peak hours.
