What's everyone's take on AP?It's my favorite place to play...I like the layout of the software, there are excellent tournament selections (TONS of sit and gos, $1-$100 multi tables, freerolls, etc.) and the players on there, for the most part, are pretty relaxed and easy to play with...But I never see it mentioned at all among online players.

I play pretty much exclusively on AP, to me, it's one of the better sites out there as far as solid support, excellent tournament structure and what not. It does have some faults such as slow software, crashing somewhat frequently and no player to player transfers. For the most part, it's a good site, because you will find lots of fish willing to give away their money, there's not a huge amount of players and you can get adapted to a lot of the players you see on their frequently's strategy. The tournament structure is great for tournament players, because you start with 1500 chips at every tournament whether it is a sit and go or a multi-table, which is just excellent, the blinds go up at a reasonable pace, so it's not a crapshoot like party poker, you can make plays and not just have to be a move in specialist. Anyone that wants to try it out gets a huge 35% 1st deposit bonus up to $210 in bonus money($600 deposit), which I think is well worth it, and you can get an additional $25 if you'd like, just send me a message with your e-mail and I'll send you an invite.

Absolute would be my favorite if it was 10 handed

personally, I've never really noticed much of a difference between 10 handed and 9 handed, I've played at 11 handed though and that makes a huge difference in comparison to 9 handed. 9 handed isn't so bad though, I guess I've just gotten used to it and it favors me more because I like to play more hands than most people.

I see on their site that sng's structure is set to blinds raising every 10 hands. Anyone know what a regular multi-table structure is?And if so what are the blind increments?Do they impelement antes at the second 100/200 level?thx for any help. looks like a great site and i think i will be making a deposit there very soon.

I'm not sure exactly about the blind increments, but you start off with 1500 chips and I would say the blind structure isn't all that fast, so you'll be able to play your hands without worrying about getting blinded out unless you get really shortstacked. It's probably the best tournament structure out of all the sites. If you would like to sign up on there, I can get you $25 added to your account on top of the 35% deposit bonus, just leave me a private message with your e-mail.

I play there because I like the layout and structures of tourneys. Plus since it's still small I know a lot of the regulars that play in the higher tourneys.The two bad things though, it does seem to crash at the wrong time, when you have a good hand of course.Also I have never one time got a response to emails I sent their support.I am seriously thinking about trying some other sites myself. I need to get Neteller or something setup. The main problem I have trying other sites is that I can't use my bankcard on them. I don't have that problem with Absolute.Any suggestions on some would be great.

You guys seem to think Absolute Poker is the only site with great tournament structure and starting chips. Anyone ever heard of Pokerstars?????? It's exactly the same.

I am suggesting also a new site: NoblePoker. I just discover it this weekend. They have a good game going on there with a lot of stats and options. The traffic is really decent for a new site.

Have a play account there. I just have a problem gettings funds to that site, until I get Neteller or something going. My bankcard doesn't work with them. My card will not let me deposit money to gambling sites, so unless they list themselves another way when making a deposit I can't do it. I just hope that I can use my card with Neteller.

The best thing there is the 50NL tables. 10 man rings, with routinely 70%+ seeing the flop, and knuckleheads who will call any all-in just for the rush. As long as you're not too proud to sit at a .25/.50 blind table, you can pretty much take it for as much as you want with a little patience. This site was made for sitting back and waiting for the nuts.
