Typical for Absolute


Hey crackheads...


Do a little math.


This is a 20k max buy in table. The top two positioins have almost 1,200,000 chips between them. It's Omaha Hi-Lo, so sweeping the pot is hard. And you can't log in for the first time and have 20,000 chips to throw away going all in and losing to poker gods.


If you've worked hard enough to make 20k chips to sit in at the big money table (this is the biggest on Absolute) one would tend to think that you would be protective of it and not just go all in on the first hand. But bingo on Absolute doesn't work that way.


That's a net of 59 players and re-buys going all in and losing.


I've worked far harder than I should have had to for my 1.7 million chips. And there's a net of 59 with the "It's only play money" attitude that were so uncompetitive that they had nothing better to do with their lives but sit and click all-in. Re-buy. Repeat.


If it were for real, the top position would probably take the better part of a day of perfect poker to get to that point (assuming competition that doesn't just throw it away.) And how come the two of you haven;t butted heads and there's not some one with all of the 1.2 million chips??
