Topic: Absolute, Poker Room and Ultimate Bet Forum: Bonus Whores

I've blazed my way through the iGlobalMedia sites and I'm going to hit the Cryptologic sites this month. After all these bonuses are done, I will have few attractive whoring options. Among the remaining sites out there are Absolute, Poker Room and Ultimate Bet.

Are these sites worth the hassle? They all offer large bonuses that take longer to clear than the iGlobalMedia/Cryptologics. Additionally, these sites seem to feature absurdly tight play at small stakes tables.

My friend tried Poker Room out playing the $.5/1 tables and cleared 1 dollar of a $200 dollar bonus in 60 hands. He lost $15 in the process and promptly cashed out. The players were very tight and saw approx. 30% of flops, which is unheard of at that level. Another friend of mine said the higher levels were soft, but I don't have the bankroll to play high stakes(I'll be playing $1/$2 for now).

A glance at UB $1/$2 full ring flop seen stats show 33% of flops seen. Very tight.

I've only checked Absolute during off-peak hours and they only had shorthanded available, but they seem to have similar issues to the other sites.

Can I avoid the tightness issues by playing only during peak hours(6-10Pacific?) or by playing only shorthanded at these sites? BW review sections rate all of these sites as having easier SHHE games than full ring. Is my expectation of bonus+earn greater than earn alone at iGlobal sites?

I apologize for the length of my post. I will try to abbreviate in the future. Thank you for your help.
