I've tried like crazy to play at absolute, mostly cause they offer like 10000000 bonuses a month... But, every time I try to play there, like 99% of the tables are empty or shorthanded, especially the lower stakes ones (ie... NL$100 and less...)...

I got this e-mail, too. I spent a good while playing SnGs at Absolute a few months back but cashed out a month or so ago. I think they send out a rash of these occasionally to people who have an account there but haven't played there in awhile.

Sport is right on. It's damn near impossible to find a full-ring game there. There usually are a handful of shorthanded games going with the occasional full game. The bonus is fairly easy to clear once you do get on a table, but getting on a table is the tricky part. It really is a better site for tourney players than for cash-game players.
