Our Comment
Make no mistake about it, this is a high quality poker site aimed at serious poker fans.
The software is very good with some really nice touches and it works well. You can even organize your own private tournament with friends or family at a private table. The latest update brings in a no download Flash version with Multi Player Tournaments.
Absolute Poker now lets you play Texas Hold'em on any PC or Mac from anywhere with an internet connection
For real money players the games are loose and are excellent for small stakes players whilst the full ring games at middle limits can become tighter. Absolute Poker offer an extremely comprehensive poker site packed with plenty of information on all aspects of the game and for players at all levels.
Too much to tell you about in this space, but if you're serious about your poker, then they're a must visit.
