Go to Top

The biggest traffic is at the micro limit tables on Absolute Poker, where the games are very loose. The flop view percentage is sometimes over 50% or 60%. So you can expect the games to be full of action and profitable on small stakes. At the ten handed tables, at middle stakes like $2/$4 blinds the game is a lot tighter and the flop view percentage falls under 30%.

Player Traffic

The traffic is most significant in Texas Hold’em, primarily at the short handed (6 handed) tables, but you can find opponents in full ring and in heads up.

Absolute Poker is relatively safe although everyone remembers the scandal when an employee could see the cards of all opponents. The merge with Ultimate Bet might have helped the brand to recover.
