Absolute Poker

I got a really good deal from them, regarding rake back and a deposit bonus. but i was wondering, are their deposits and withdrawals fast? hows the people there? is it fishy? etc. thanks in advance.

also, i just read that to clear a bonus, you have to play 100 hands to clear 10 dollars. which is a dollar for 10 hands. does it matter how much the rake is? what stakes are eligible for this? can i play .10/.20? or what? and does it matter how much rake is taken? or as long as it's raked? and another question, i heard that even if you fold, it count's as a rake. and other details too if you have any. again, thanks in advance.

Ok yes rakeback is taken so long as you are dealt cards
I hope you got 28% ? thats the best deal i knew of on ap etc.

Aps bonus is a nice initial sign up but it does take a while to clear. If you havent doen party and skins you were probabably better there first, but dont worry.
As far as i remember the bonus does clear at 25nl albeit slowly but not every pot will count toward rake. i think ap took me a few weeks to clear but back then i was only one or two tabling for maybe 3-4 days per day. Not a lot compared to now. But it does clear at 25nl unless they have changed the rules. The site should be relativly straightforward to beat just be careful of moving upto 50nl as it is very rocky. 25nl should be a breeze

does it clear at the 10NL level?

I believe Absolute changed their rules to state that a pot must be raked 50cents to be counted as a raked hand. That will be damned near impossible to clear at the $10 games since a lot of people buyin short.

for the bonuses to clear at 25NL the pot needs to hit .5 rake right? so how much does the pot have to reach?

To get a raked hand you need to be dealt cards and the pot needs to hit $10 (It was $5 but they changed it a few months back.) It takes forever to clear a bonus at 25nl. As to how fishy it is, I found the full ring a little tighter than some sites - kinda like party during a reload. Often there aren't all that many full ring tables to choose from. Apparently the six max tables are juicy, but I haven't tried them.
