In Defense of Absolute Poker

[SeattleSinner]

I have been critical of Absolute in the past. Their customer service was terrible, broken promises, and at the end of it all the cheating scandal. Absolute was a shady run poker room not to be trusted.

I played mainly limit before the scandal, and I have played quite a bit afterwards. The customer service has drastically improved from what I have experienced recently. They have been prompt, professional, and always adhear to my requests in disputes. Absolute said that they would clean up their act and I think they have lived up to this promise.

I urge people to give Absolute another try and I think you will be happy with the result.

P.S. no i'm not a shill and if you check my history you will see I have made negative posts about Absolute in the past. But I think a lot of people who are speaking negatively now have not played at Absolute in some time.

I like AP software but I only play there for fun.

Did you have to post that in order to get paid?

But seriously, no offense, but I'll wait till another 100 players come forward with the same viewpoint before even considering re-opening my account there.

This is the same place that had me run around and change the name and country for a WU transfer 3 different times and make it seem as if I was a criminal or just plain retarded to the WU folks because I kept changing the receiver's information.

Finally I said F IT and cancelled the WU transfer, thus EATING $20 in WU fees. Not only that, but I had to joyfully wait a full week while VISA had the WU funds on hold because they had to reverse the charges back to the card.

They offered me a BONUS OF $20 for my troubles, which I COULD NOT RELEASE BECAUSE I COULDN'T DEPOSIT, so I told them to close my account.

Not to mention all of the other BS they've got going on right now.

Sometimes we give businesses and people second chances when they screw up.

What happened at AP was a lot more than just some screw up. It was a MAJOR, I'll screw my customers and then I'll lie and try to cover my ass - screw up.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me!

I'm with BB28 here - too many lies, too many questions left unanswered, and now we have the UltimateBet scandal building....

Option 1.
Give a second chance to a Absolute Poker (and/or Ultimate Bet).

Option 2.
Slide down a ten foot razor blade using my testicles as brakes.

Er....made a choice...get the bandages ready.

I think I would be giving Futurebet 5000 chances before I took option 2.
