An Oldie But A Goodie!
December 14, 2007
If you haven’t played Absolute Poker by now then you simply don’t know what you are missing! Absolute has always been one of my personal favorites as well as so many others. Currently for new players they are offering a bonus of 100% on their deposit of up to $500 which is a great deal! The bonus is added to your account on an accrual basis as most poker rooms do. For each raked hand of $.50 or more you play, as long as you see flop you get 1 point. Even if you play tournaments you get 1 point per every $1.00 you spend in tournament entry fees. The more you spend the quicker you get your bonus - it is that simple!
What drew me to Absolute Poker is one of the biggest promotions around the online poker world. That, of course, is the Bad Beat Jackpot. Many newer poker sites are trying to implement something like this, but to date no one has reached the levels of payouts that Absolute has. They have already given out more than TWO MILLION dollars. Just the other night I was playing on a table and that dreaded little box popped up saying someone at another table had won the Bad Beat Jackpot - which stood at over $300,000 by the way!
The way it works is simple. They collect $.50 from the pot of each raked hand that is $.25 or more. The Bad Beat Jackpot grows and grows until some hits it, or in other words, has a really bad beat which is losing with a four of a kind of 8’s or better. We’ve all had the bad beats. In fact, I remember one in particular that still makes my stomach sick. I was in a pot for all my money - almost $800 - when I hit what I thought was a monster of a hand. The Straight Flush. I was jumping up in my seat, screaming for my opponent to call me. Well he did, and I couldn’t have been happier! Until he turned over a higher Straight Flush. The drop in the pit of my stomach was almost too much to bear. Now if that had happened to me at a site with a Bad Beat Jackpot, I would have thousands of dollars to ease my sadness. So, my point is, if you have to take a tremendously bad beat like that one, you might as well get paid for it!
So, head over to Absolute, get your 100% sign on bonus and jump on a table to get your Bad Beat Jackpot today!
