Here's an idea of how many. They now have a weekly NEW depositor's freeroll and there were 289 registered last week.Quote:

must not have many of our members using this site either.
I haven't played at Absolute in quite a while now.
I did play there, and I got my cashout(a sizable one for a college student) just fine via check. However, I have not played there since the scandal and won't again because of it.
What scandal, and you talking about Absolute Poker right?Quote:

It wasn't "SOME PLAYER'S", It was one AP employee that had a programmer doctor his account so he could see hole card's. AP was refunding all players that lost hands to that players account.Quote:

is that why they gave me 10 bucks like 3 times??
No they used to do that to a lot of players who have deposited before, but hadn't played in awhile. They haven't done it as far as I know since the merge between VP 24/7 and themselves.Quote:

I'm sure it's very common, and not just on Absolute. Cheating, that is.
I ain't sure its ok to play anywhere, so easy to rip people off.
I posted about this on Bailyen's post complaining about AP/UB not sending him a cap...Quote:

LESS THAN 1 YEAR LATER IT ALL HAPPENED AGAIN, MY ADVICE AGAIN, DO NOT TRUST THAT SITE DONT PLAY THERE THERE'S QUITE A LOT OF GOOD SITES, LET AP/UB ROTTEN IN HELL :)
i also got free 10's from absolute maybe 3 or 4 times already.Quote:

AND LOSTED TO A ST8. So i played in another one and lost their too. Now out of the 20 dollars i have 4 cents left. So the sites let you win one then they take the money back. So all poker sites are rip offs. SO THIS RANDOM GENARATED **** IS A BUNCH OF BULL ****. THATS MY OPINON!!!!!!!!!HAVE A NICE DAY NOW
Come on don't give up. It happens to all of us. How about the people you beat when you won the $20. Do you think the casino chose you to win that one then tracked you out of the thousands to make sure you got bad beat til you lost. It just doesn't make sense to think that way. Just enjoy the fact that you won 1 of 4, which is great odds for a poker tourney!:D
i just want to say that dallas has a point cause you must remember that we qre playing on a computer with a computer and computers are programmed what to do. thats what i just want to say and it makes me think???????????
I just don't know any more.I will keep playing, I do see real people that win, but alot more that lose.I started a poll , the results are varied.I will keep an open mind, however I do feel like I can see alot hands coming now.
You are definitely entitled to your own opinion, but I think it is ridiculous!Quote:

People online do get screwed alot, and aces lose a lot, and I have never seen so many 4 card flushes on the board when I have a great hand and lose to someone with one spade, but doesn't mean the site is making me lose, or that it is rigged. There is a lot of bad players out there, look how many people play poker online these days, it's bound to happen, and yeah maybe more to someone than another, just the way it goes sometimes. Also, people play a certan way , and then they start losing, and tilting, then they start playing like an ***, I have done it before. All I am trying to say is, play your cards, don't risk all your chips if it isn't a sure thing, I mean I have folded AA preflop before, and a lot of times it was a good fold, people raising and reraisin, your odds go down the more people that are in, and AA isn't always so great. Ok that's enough for now, lata

great post, it's not only about As for me,I play tight some and will defend my blinds.It's just if my BB is K 10 suited and I flop a flush after a 3x bb raise.I would like to win at least 50 percent of the time.I usually only put in my chips with the winning hand, so after about 1,000,000 1 outers I assume that it's not just my bad play. I encourge everyone that reads this to find my poll here and answer "honestly". If we get enough votes and "honesty" then we will see where the site's stand as compared to the player's.Of course there's one guy within 3 mile's of me that would negate alot of our losing.that's not what I am interested in just normal folks.
Look i am not saying all poker sites are rigged but 9 times out of 10 this happens at these sites. Were you have the winning hand and then on the river you lose. And if you noticed the person that wins has more chips then you do. watch it sometimes you will see what i am talking about. And as for your poll Lilred i have won money on-line. But then for like a month or 2 I can not win crap. Example when the u.s.a. players were allowed to play at CDPOKER i won a 2000 tourney. Made 600 dollars, then for like 2 months i could not catch a cooled at that site. So i withdrew my money and never played their again.Just something to think about while you play at these sites
Ok so over the long run your UP?

I play at Absolute Poker but only in their freerolls. I figure I might try to get some free money out of them at least. Let me know if any of you agree?
Dont like AP cause it always crashes on me
I just dont like AP because they were known to steal and allow players get screwed LOL
absolute is all bad check this out a video of potripper cheating on absolute and i bet theres more then just 1 of these guys out there..this video shows you that potripper can c all of his opponents cards check it out heres the url
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FczbS7FiWSM
That's crazy, but how do you it's real?
Yeah its says pokerfactor not absolute may be real but kinda odd.Crazy tho,thats for sure.
I know that a lot of people alter their youtubes or 'screen shots' with editing programs so I wouldn't believe everything that you read or see. Not to take away from having doubt in absolute : )
Video may be real:
potripper was one of the alleged accounts to have been a super user account with the ability to see other people's cards
first time i read about this i stopped playing at absolute even in their freerolls but whenever they e-mail me saying there's money in my account, well who doesnt want free monies.LOL
Well good luck with your games on AP, one thing that is beneficial are like you said, the 10 credits and also the withdraw options. You can now wire the money through western union and money gram.Quote:
