New Absolute Buddy Feature Personalizes Online Poker Community

Absolute Poker enhances software to help online poker players discover where their favorite opponents are seated

Miami, FL May 28, 2008 - Absolute Poker today announced the launch of Absolute Buddy, a convenient, complementary feature that allows online poker players to discover where their favorite players are seated and connect with them instantly.

"We're taking our online poker community to an entirely new level by making it easier for players to connect with one another," stated David Clainer, Senior Vice President for Absolute Poker.

Absolute Buddy is integrated into the Absolute Poker software. Computer users familiar with instant messaging applications like Windows Live Messenger, Google Chat and AIM will find the interface of Absolute Buddy familiar and incredibly easy to use.

Registered users can add their favorite poker players to Absolute Buddy and instantly discover when they're online and where they're seated. Players listed in bold represent those who are logged in to the Absolute Poker software. Online poker players seated at a table are denoted with a triangle to the left of their name. Clicking the triangle will display the table names where the player is seated. Poker players who appear in muted gray are not online.

Not only does Absolute Buddy display the table name where a poker player is seated, but the feature will also catapult the player to a table when its name is double clicked.

Clainer notes that while the new feature is extremely handy for discovering where your friends are playing, it's particularly useful for finding the players you've successfully beaten in the past.
