Anyone still playing on Absolute Poker?

Saw the following posted on another board I read:

Quote:

1. Absolute Poker 15% Neteller Bonus up to $100 ($200 max): They usually implement this bonus several times a month (at least twice). The bonus is 15% up to $100 ($667 deposit required), but you can make two $667 deposits during the bonus period to get the $200 maximum. After 48 hours have passed since your deposit, you are allowed to cash out the money you deposited without affecting your Pending Bonus account.

-Requirements: 10 non-contributed raked hands per $1 of bonus money
-Best games: $50 NL (.10/.25), $100 NL (.25/.5), although .5/1 and 1/2 limit have been picking up more action recently in peak hours
-Monthly Reload Bonus Potential: $400 monthly (at the very least)
-Initial Sign-Up Bonus: 35% up to $210


Being able to cash out most of your money before you've worked off the bonus is extremely appealing.

but, the last time I played on Absolute, it sucked, horribly, in every way imaginable.

So, I was curious if the games are good there, if games are abundant and easy to find, and if anyone is taking advantage of stuff like this on Absolute and how it's working out for you.

it's terrible, the bonuses are WAY to hard to clear. not worth the time at all, IMHO.

I don't find the bonuses hard to unlock at all, it's not as easy as PP but it isn't horrible either. AP was my site for a long time but i just can't stand the uneveness of it, 1 minute there will be a table so tight it reminds you of the first time, the next minute you'll have people going nuts with crap. Also, whatever algorthim (sp?) they use for the cards i'm convinced is really funky, the flops there will drive a person mental, and i'm not just being some whacked out internet poker conspircay nut, i've watched, and when you see flops like 5c,6c,7c,8c,9c, come out more consistently than they should, you know somethings trippy.

All this being said, i may just be a bad poker player and YMMV.

I'm there, but I'm only playing omaha split limit games, which means I don't play very often since there usually is at most 2 tables going. I think the bonus structure is pretty decent, and was unaware of being able to withdraw the cash before clearing the bonus.

On a similar note, does anyone know what ultimate bet's policy is on the withdrawing before you've cleared a bonus? It's pretty slow clearing things there but the omaha games are better.
