    Anyone else see that you can now transfer money between Absolute and UB via some agreement they have now. I guess when you have two slowly failing poker sites scrambling for damage control, I can see why they agreed to do this.

    i thought AP was on its way up? heard some good things
    just about to put some bones on there

    f UB, the only thing i liked about it was the 200k, but not enough to put money back on there

    I just logged into Absolute Poker and found out you can transfer money between AP and UB. I am a player on both, mostly AP, but think this is a great way to get to know UB better. They both offer completely different things and to be able to move money back and forth is awsome! To make it better AP FINALLY got a new game interface and now you can tile and cascade all your tables. No more missing hands and getting sat out.

    I have to say I like these new features and to be able to move money between two poker sites is unheard of. Well done to both.

    Seems like AP is making a lot of good moves.

    Why dog them?

    I hope they do well since they are one of the few that let us (US players) play.

    Agreed, I might have to revist AP now. Sounds stupid but I just couldnt take having to stare at that interface for hours on end.

    "Seems like AP is making a lot of good moves."

    "Why dog them? "

    thats what all the sheep do on this site

    imo, this transfer of funds is only a prelude to both sites merging into 1

    i hardly see how ub and ap wtih 40k in players each night is failing

    so many people jump on the ub/ap hate bandwagon without a fucking clue

    20 threads each week by the sheep hoping his/her hero will chime in during the post and agree how much these sites suck

    ub is just fine unless you feel the need to bug support every 3 hours over dumb chit

    flame away sheep.........baaaaaaaaaa baaaaaaaaaaaa baaaaaaaaaaaaa

    Hopefully UB support will now merge with AP support....and they can then lay one guy off and have one guy stay on and support both sites with no loss in customer service....customer service will remain as good as it is now.... also....this same guy can also process all the withdrawal checks and write code for software upgrades....more labor savings....this merger sounds great !!!

    I agree with Korn on this one. I have never had an issue with UB other than they have never offered me a free 200K entry like many other players on P5's ;-(. I love UB's interface and tourney structure. I love the brighness of the cards, the table layout and the pace at which the games proceed. I do hate how the keep dicking with their touney lineup, but being a low limit player, there are always $3, $5, $6 bounty and $10 tourneys to play.

    I have tried AP and don't like the interface at all. I absolutely loathe the washed out blues and reds and thier tables seem really cluttered. I do like AP's tourney selection though. There are many games in different poker variations for us micro donks.

    I personally have never had an issue with deposits or withdraws on either site using Neteller and now ePassporte.

    All in all, with money on Tilt, stars, UB and Carbon, I don't need money on any other site.
