If you look up survivor in the dictionary then you will most certainly find the Absolute Poker logo in the image next to the text. Launched in 2003, Absolute Poker was plagued with scandal and breaches of security. Every expert in the industry predicted that Absolute Poker would disappear into the ether; however, this was not to be. Instead of imploding, Absolute Poker hoisted themselves up by their boot straps and joined forces with the online poker giant UB Poker in 2008 forming the CEREUS poker network. Absolute Poker now ranks in the top 10 of online poker rooms with regards to player traffic. Both Absolute Poker and UB Poker are both owned by Bianca Games Inc. and are licensed by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission.

The motto of the CEREUS poker network is -Bigger.Badder.Better- which is certainly relevant as regards Absolute Poker. Absolute Poker offers their members a top-tier online poker room with simple to use and powerful software, a huge selection of games, great bonuses and non-stop promotions-a truly superior playing experience. Players have a choice of a downloadable version of their software as well as a No Download/Flash version.

Security has become a prime concern of Absolute Poker and their online poker room is now amongst the safest and most secure online. They provide their players with an extensive list of payout options all of which are secure and efficient.

The action at Absolute Poker is wild and wily. It has historically been one of the softer sites to play on, stacked to the brim with beginners and poor players. It was expected that the level of overall play would improve with their move to CEREUS. The level of play did improve, but not by much.

The vast majority of the action can be found at the low and medium limits and the level of play is pretty poor overall. You will experience viewed-flop percentages at the lower limits of as high as 60% and even more.
