Absolute is one of the worst client softwares out there. Very clunky, primitive and buggy and a resource hog to boot.

I've played there off and on for a couple of years. Have never gotten consistent results there. Some wild swings, as you've experienced, with more downs than ups. I keep money in there because I have a ton of bonus to work off and I do like the $20 7 Stud tourneys whenever I have the time. But I don't play there very much. I't's more of a chore than anything else for me to play there, not a pleasant experience.
