Graphics
Absolute Poker’s table interface is ok. if a little cluttered. Players have the option to replace the Absolute Poker avatar with their own image. which is a nice touch. but as many players do not do this the table rather resembles an Absolute Poker billboard. which can be a little bit grating at times.

Absolute Poker’s software is quick. reliable and packed with useful features. With hand history. player notes functions. statistics. and locate-a-player software provided alongside all the usual features it is an easy and rewarding site to play at.
Lobby

All different game forms are listed on separate tabs. as are the fixed limit. no limit/pot limit and play money versions of those games within those tabs. making searching for games an easy exercise.
