In the Main Lobby, select the type of online poker game you would like to play by clicking on it. Appearing vertically below the game choice will be the list of available tables. Simply double-click on a table and you will be taken to the game.

The minimum buy-in at any Absolute Poker table is ten times the amount of the lower betting limit in fixed games, and forty times the big blind in pot-limit and no-limit games. For example, the minimum buy-in for a $5/$10 fixed game is $50.00, and the minimum buy-in in $0.50/$1.00 Pot Limit game is $20.00.

Yes you can. But when playing poker online, changing seats is not recommended. You are free to change seats if you wish, but you will be required to post the blinds again, just as if you were a new poker player. It is structured this way to keep players from changing seats to avoid paying blinds.

Every hand played is given a unique game number. This game number (also known as "hand number") can be used when requesting player hand histories or when there is a problem with a specific game and you would like to review a report. If there is ever a question or a problem with a particular game, note the game number and reference it when contacting us. If you missed the game number and the next game has already started, check under "Previous Game" at the top right corner of screen.

You can add yourself to the waiting list. You will be able to see how many people are waiting for a seat at the table. When a seat comes available and your name is up, you will be notified and given the option of taking the seat.

If there are several people on the waiting list, we recommend taking a seat at a vacant table of the same limits and game, as these tables usually fill quite fast once a player sits down.

We understand that many of our poker players reside in countries where English is not the official language. But, unfortunately, we must designate one language as the official language for the chat rooms. This is also necessary to ensure that the utmost integrity is maintained at our tables at all times.

All obscene or offensive language is prohibited from the chat. If a player cannot refrain from using abusive or obscene language, Absolute Poker reserves the right to suspend or revoke their chat privileges as well as terminate their account.

We ask you to help us monitor the site. Please send all e-mails to support@AbsolutePoker.com regarding any and all questionable poker room activity.

This is normally caused by Internet conditions beyond our control. It is also difficult to diagnose the cause at times. Absolute Poker has state-of-the-art software, which will attempt to re-connect and, ultimately, return players back to the same table where they were last seated. If you are in the middle of a hand that you have bet into and cannot return within the allotted time limit, the software is designed to put you All-in for that hand. Sometimes it is difficult to diagnose the cause of the interruption, but through our Hand History function, you will be able to refer back to what happened during the hand that was interrupted. In the case that your hand was the winning hand, you win the main pot of that game and it will show in your medallion.

In the unlikely event of a server crash during a game, Absolute Poker will restore all poker player accounts to what they were at the time of the interruption. If a player's last hand of play was completed, the player account will have been updated as individual player transactions are posted to accounts after completion of every hand.

In the rare case a real-money player cannot return in time to finish play, the hand will automatically be All-in. Each player will be given one all-in per day due to the unlikely case that the player is disconnected without being reestablished in time. If the player has already used their daily all-in and they do not return to the table in time, their hand will automatically be folded. Play-money tables offer an unlimited number of All-in plays.
