Absolute Poker Instant Play

Instant Play Poker clients are becoming more and more popular. At first, they were only seen at small poker rooms, but now, larger rooms have rolled them out on a larger scale. Recently, Absolute Poker unveiled their Java-based Instant Play Poker platform and expectations were very high. Overall, Absolute Poker does not disappoint. In fact, we were very impressed. Players can't go wrong with Absolute Poker Instant Play on the go or at home.

Playing instantly at Absolute Poker is quite easy. Visit their website and hit the 'Instant Play' button to download a small file. Select this file to launch a Java application that takes less than five minutes to bring you Absolute Poker anywhere with an Internet connection.

When evaluating an instant play poker site, we first take a look at the lobby. Absolute Poker does a great job replicating their download version lobby in the no download platform. The lobby has the same red and blue Absolute Poker theme that has made the room famous. The layout is superb, poker enthusiasts will have no problem finding their favorite poker game. The top buttons in the lobby allow you to select between four poker variants (Hold 'Em, Stud, Omaha, and Mixed), Tourneys, Sit and Gos, Tournament Blackjack, and Casino. Click on one of those to bring up a second level that allows you to filter further. For example, if you want to play single table Sit and Gos, select 'Sit & Go' and '1-table'. We really fell in love with the two-tier filtering. Absolute Poker's Instant Play Lobby isn't full of complicated filters, but it also won't leave you scrolling through pages of games to find your favorite.

Instant Play does not falter when you take your seat. The action is smooth and seamless. The cards are big and easy to read. Like most poker rooms, the chat box is located in the lower left hand corner. Players can also click an 'Stat' tab to check out statistics for the current session (fold %, bet % etc. ). Options to Auto-post blinds and sit out are located at the top of your screen. A convenient hand replayer can also found near the top left hand corner. Customizing your experience is simple, just click the 'Options' to turn off sounds or turn on the four color deck.

Without a doubt, Absolute Poker Instant Play is one of the best no download poker options on the web. Getting started is easy, finding your game is a breeze, and the action is great. Were we impressed? Absolutely.
