After a recent merger with Ultimate Bet, Absolute Poker is gearing up to be one of the best and fastest-growing online poker rooms in the industry. With easy-to-use fund transfers between the two sites, the two rooms are soon to be making the shift over to the Cereus poker network. This move will greatly enhance their player base and build up their player traffic to astonishing new levels.

As a poker room that is well known for being reliable and of consistently high quality, Absolute Poker brings its loyal collection of players awesome software and an overall wonderful poker playing experience. They are bale to make the most of regular and special promotions to reel in new players and retain most of their older ones.

The software that Absolute Poker runs on recently underwent a huge transformation and now has an expanded list of exciting features including faster games, sharper and more detailed graphics, spectacular statistics data and great multi-table capacity. Beyond those elements, the site now offers a mouse-wheel integration that is good for betting. Players can also download or create their own table backgrounds. That is the ultimate customizable option.

Absolute Poker is no slouch in the game selection department either. Beyond their focus of Texas Hold’em, they also have Seven Card Stud, Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo, Omaha, Omaha Hi-Lo and Razz. While many folks flock to the online poker site for their Texas Hold’em competitions, other games like Omaha are becoming more and more popular every day. Player traffic has always been strong. Most recently they have had some 1,800 ring-game players and a total of 9,000 tournament players at peak hours.

If you run out of luck, you may be in luck. Apparently that is the way things work at Absolute Poker where their intriguing Bad Beat Jackpot has been known to bail out people who have reached rock bottom. Needless to say, this special aid to players who are down on their luck has brought the site a considerable amount of attention. The latest player to benefit from their innovative system is a Texas Hold’em player who lost a hand with quad aces. For their efforts they were rewarded with the largest Bad Beat Jackpot to date. They came away with more than $160,000 in their pockets. How’s that for making the most of a losing battle?

Just since July, with almost one million hands of cards dealt out since the previous hit, the Bad Beat Jackpot is now up around $464,000. Players from all walks of life have flocked to the site to try to get into a tight spot that will bring them the big glory in the end. For some folks it still strikes them a bit odd that people would be trying their darnedest to play the ultimate losing hand in order to win the big money, but many people have been jumping on the bandwagon.

While these harsh loses would mean inevitable heartbreak and the breaking of one’s bankroll, that is not the case with Absolute Poker. In order to build up the Bad Beat Jackpot, fifty cents is collected from all qualifying hands at the Bad Beat tables. People often say that nothing beats winning with a great hand at poker, but now the tables have definitely turned. It may now be just as wonderful to get dealt the worst hand of your life. Go figure!
