What is the minimum buy-in I can bring to a poker table?
The minimum amount that you can sit down at each table with is ten times the small bet at the table. For example, in a $2/$4 minimum bet game the minimum buy-in is $20. There is no maximum amount that you can bring to a table that has betting limits.
At our Pot Limit and No Limit Tables, the minimum buy-in is 40 times the amount of the big blind. The maximum amount that you may sit down with at our NL & PL tables is 200 times the big blind. For example, at a NL $1 game, the minimum that you may sit down with is $40 and the maximum is $200
What happens when a player is all-in?
When a player puts the last of their chips into a pot, that player is said to be all-in. An all-in player is not eligible to win any money wagered above their final bet.If a player makes a wager and another player calls him using the last of his chips, any excess part of the bet is returned to the bettor, or it is used to form a side pot with another player or players who matched the amount bet. There is no limitation on the number of side pots. The all-in player is eligible to share in any of the pots that he contributed to, and therefore cannot be forced from the hand.

How does Absolute Poker prevent “rat holing,” where a player re-enters a table with fewer chips than they left with?
To re-enter the same table they just left, a player is required meet one of the conditions listed below:
- The buy in amount should be equal to the amount he left with/ or should be greater than he left with
- The player should bring all his real money in.
- The maximum amount required is not necessary for this case
- If the player has less amount of real money than he left with, he needs to bring all his real money in
- If he left the table with less amount than the "minimum amount required", he should bring " minimum amount required" .
- If not, wait 15 minutes to re-enter.
What happens if I am disconnected during a game at Absolute Poker?
Sometimes a player has enough chips to continue betting or calling but has been disconnected and unable to respond. In this case, the player is also deemed to be "all-in" for all the amount of chips he has bet on this particular hand. If this happens repeatedly, it probably means your Internet connection is poor. We therefore recommend that you stop playing, and wait until your Internet connection improves.
Is there a time limit enforced when playing at Absolute Poker?
A player is allotted 25 seconds to act in fixed-limit games. A warning message is displayed in the chat box when there are 15 seconds left to act. If there was a disconnection and a player returned before the timeout, he or she receives a further 10 seconds to act.
If a player failed to act within the allotted time while being connected, the hand is folded by the system.
