I was never a particularly regular user of Absolute Poker. The combination of layout, rake and player availability just never put it up at the top of my list when I had a given window to grind the tables. That said, I never had anything bad to say about the site. I certainly didn't go out of my way to avoid it.
We undoubtedly all heard about the scandal with the God account last year and we surely remember the Chicken Littles of the poker world (possibly the same people who dug underground bunkers for Y2K) yelling from the rooftops that this spelled the end for internet gaming. That said, the end never quite came to be. In fact, the fallout was pretty soft even for Absolute Poker specifically.
That said, I've simply collected a few links to various stories for anyone who wants to read up on the incident and what came to pass in the aftermath.
