Absolute Poker Scandal 60 Minutes Youtube
Pokercast[edit]
The Two Plus Two Pokercast is a weekly podcast that reports on both live poker and online poker. The show is hosted by Mike Johnson and poker pro Adam Schwartz, with regular contributions from a number of other poker strategists and players. Typically recorded on Tuesday nights in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, the show is released on Wednesday mornings via the iTunes Store and the Two Plus Two website. The show is sponsored by the Pokerstars VIP Club.
Prior to Two Plus Two[edit]
The hosts of the Two Plus Two Pokercast were the founders of “Rounders – The Poker Show” which launched in April 2005 on terrestrial radio station The Team 1040 (Vancouver) airing weekly on Sunday nights and archived on BigPoker.ca. Rounders ran for 134 episodes before Mike Johnson and Adam Schwartz co-created the Two Plus Two Pokercast in January 2008.[4]
Strategy segments[edit]
Interspersed between segments of the show and advertisements are short strategy segments from top poker pros. Originally, the presenters of these segments were Two Plus Two authors and posters, however as of January 2009 LeggoPoker.com became the official strategy sponsor of the show, and now provides weekly strategy segments by their stable of video producers.
Sklansky minutes[edit]
Absolute Poker Promotional Code
Aside from strategy segments are “Sklansky Minutes” recorded by Two Plus Two author David Sklansky. Subjects include poker and other games, general gambling theory and musings on life. A collection of similar musings and 'life strategy' was published in January 2010 under the title 'DUCY?' – Two Plus Two shorthand for 'Do You See Why?'.
Evidence in lawsuit[edit]
Shortly after winning the 2006 World Series of Poker main event, Jamie Gold appeared on Episode #65 of Rounders, during the interview Gold discussed his backing arrangement with Crispin Leyser. In the following months, during litigation between Leyser and Gold over Gold’s Prize, audio of Gold’s interview on “Rounders – The Poker Show” was admitted as evidence in the case[5][6]

Absolute Poker opened in 2003 and slowly became one of the most visited poker rooms online. They don’t market nearly as much as the big poker rooms, but that hasn’t stopped them from creating a top 10-poker room in terms of player traffic. Part of the reason why Absolute Poker has been on the rise is because of their merger with Ultimate Bet in 2008 to form the Cereus Poker Network. Just recently the entire Cereus Poker Network was sold to Blanca Games Inc., which means the poker room should only continue to improve over the next couple years.
There are always lots of active tables running at AP Poker and there is never a problem finding a real money game. With poker players from every continent in the world, Absolute Poker never closes their doors. The Absolute Poker software is very robust and you can play in the poker room using a Windows, Mac or Linux computer. Most poker rooms can’t support Mac or Linux, but at AP Poker you can play on practically any operating system.
Absolute Poker Sign Up Bonus
When you decide to start playing real money poker with Absolute Poker there is a nice welcome bonus waiting for you. New accounts receive a huge match bonus on their first deposit and it doesn’t require a huge deposit on your part. To earn the full welcome bonus at AP Poker you only need to deposit $333 into your account on your 1st deposit. When you process your deposit, make sure that you enter our exclusive bonus code called the Absolute Poker Referral Code to receive the maximum 150% up to $500 as illustrated in the image below:
Players receive a total of 60 days after their deposit to clear the bonus money into their real money account. Absolute Poker deposits $5 of your bonus into your real money account each time that you earn 100 Status Points. Status Points are obtained by playing any of the real money poker games in the AP poker room. If you plan on playing blackjack that’s fine, but none of the points you earn while playing blackjack are used towards clearing your poker bonus.
Absolute Poker Game Selection & Competition Level
AP Poker offers their players more poker games then the majority of other online poker rooms. You’ll need to wait to play some of the games due to low traffic levels, but the common poker games can be played anytime of the day without having to wait longer then a few minutes in most cases. The poker games available at Absolute Poker include Holdem, 7-Duece Holdem, Omaha, Razz, Omaha Hi/Lo, 7 Card Stud Hi/Lo and 7 Card Stud. Games can be played in all limits and there are plenty of different stakes as well.
Absolute Poker does a good job on educating their poker players and in my opinion the competition is above average on most of ring table games. Even the low limit tables have a lot of regulars at AP Poker and they tend to be tighter players then what you’ll find in some of the other poker rooms that we’ve reviewed. Tournaments will feature there fair share of new players that are trying to learn the game, but once you make it deep in the tournament the competition usually starts becoming more difficult.
Absolute Poker Tournaments Offered
Every week there are a whole host of tournaments that players can compete in at Absolute Poker with the biggest day in the poker room being Wednesday. Every Wednesday players can choose to compete in 1 of 2 massive guaranteed prize pool events including one with a $150K guarantee and the other with a $80K guarantee. You could play both, but they run at practically the same time so you’d need to multi-table. Apart from the great guaranteed events you can also play in satellite events where you’ll have the chance to win a seat into live poker events. You can also play heads-up events, freeroll events and several other types of events.
Absolute Poker Deposit & Withdrawal Options
If you can’t find a method to fund your Absolute Poker account with then you’re most likely not going to find any alternatives elsewhere. AP Poker has great banking relationships around the world and provides their players with tons of funding options including MasterCard, Maestro, Visa Electron, Visa, Euro6000, Bank Transfer, Laser, Nordea, Neteller and Moneybookers. There are quite a few great withdrawal methods accepted as well including Cheque, eWalletExpress, Click2Pay and InstaDebit.
