If you're a true poker fanatic, Absolute Poker is the place to be. They probably offer one of the largest collections of poker games on the internet. Not only the standards (Texas, Omaha, 7 Card Stud), but some more exotic games as well, like Omaha High/Low, Horse, Razz and Hose. Great if you want to have a large variation.
It's bonus time!
This casino scores good on the area of promotions as well. With a standard initial deposit bonus of 100% up to $500, it's one of the better teasers. Occasionally, reload bonusses are offered which add an extra bonus to consecutive deposits. Friend referrals are awarded with $75.
Customer oriented: fine, but not great
Service is generally ok. No direct chat available, but e-mail communication is fast enough (reply within 12 hours). Money transfers are very sluggish however. It usually takes 24 - 48 hours to process a cashout request, not even counting the cashout itself (depending on the method and bank, i.e. 3-7 business days for wire transfers). Cashouts are available from $50 upwards only. So depositing only $20 is not really an option unless you have a really good plan to win a lot of money.
Low rakes, high variety
There's a table for everyone's liking, with a vast range of speeds (normal, turbo & ultra turbo), sizes, limits, games and bets. Rakes are quite low at about 10% to 5% on high tables.
Pros

- Low rakes
- High bonuses
- Much promotions
- Many large tournaments
Cons
- Not very beginner friendly

- No kiddy bets tables ($0.01/$0.02)
