Absolute Poker Cash Games - Ring Games at Absolute Poker

The main choices between poker games that players find at Absolute Poker are the ring games, which are also known as cash games, or tournaments. Ring games are real money games made up of typically six to ten players at a table. The game variations offer some unique strategy options and stylistic challenges that keep the games full of action at most tables. Players select the game of their choice and enter by paying the buy-in or ante and game limit. From there, the action at the tables directs the next steps. Absolute Poker offers a wide variety of cash games for players of every style and skill level.

Absolute Poker's Available Cash Games

Absolute Poker offers a standard mix of online poker games featuring Texas Hold'em, Omaha Hold'em, Seven Card Stud and variations on each of these. Most of these variations can be selected as No Limit, Limit, or Pot Limit games on the game list. Stakes range from low limit games at $0.2/0.4 up to high roller games with large double or even triple digit buy-ins.

Here is the full list of Absolute Poker cash games that players can select:

  • Texas Hold'em
  • Seven-Deuce Hold'em
  • Razz
  • H.O.R.S.E
  • Seven Card Stud
  • Omaha Hi-Lo Eight or Better
  • Omaha Hi
  • Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo Eight or Better

Each of these cash games has a daily offering on at least a handful of tables. The most popular games by far are Texas Hold'em games, usually No Limit Hold'em, which is also the most frequent variation in Absolute Poker's tournaments as well. However, even the less common Razz and H.O.R.S.E games have a respectable following of players who regularly engage these tables.

Standard Play Versus Turbo Play

At Absolute Poker, the action can move at very high speeds. Some players prefer the more measured pace of regular tables, but others have found speed play to be an even more challenging and enticing method of online poker. To serve both of these types of players, AP offers regular tables in its games' lists as well as Turbo or Ultra Turbo games. Turbo games are designated with Turbo in parentheses after the game name in the list.

Turbo games are fixed limit ring games. The key distinctions between Turbo games and regular play games is the amount of time players have to act on each choice, such as:

  • Show or muck cards: Turbo- 1 second; Regular- 3 seconds
  • Player actions: Turbo- 15 seconds; Regular- 30 seconds
  • Showdown: Turbo- 2 seconds; Regular- 5 seconds

Also, players in Turbo games must use auto post for blinds, but players can select being dealt immediately when they sit down, rather than waiting for the big blind. Finally, the pot is given to the winner more quickly in turbo games. Turbo games give players the opportunity to maximize every second of play.

With typically more than 24,000 players online at Absolute Poker, at least one-third of those players are actively engaging in the variety of cash games that Absolute Poker offers its players every day. The limits range as low and high as the player skills, meaning any level player can find a stakes level and a set of opponents that make the game a rousing challenge or an easy relaxed process. The standard of online poker is set by the cash games that a poker room offers and Absolute Poker does its best to offer the highly favored and the somewhat unique, pleasing players from all over with a great selection of ring games.
