Absolute Poker Introduces New Buddy Feature

May 30 - Recognizing the importance of players having the right tools to link up with their favorite buddies at an online poker site, Absolute Poker has upgraded its software to incorporate its new Absolute Buddy.

The Absolute Buddy does a quick search for the players' opponents and links them to one another in a flash.

By registering with Absolute Poker room, players can add their favorite opponents to their list of buddies and check out where they are playing on the site whenever they want to have a game of poker with them. Working along the same lines as social networking sites such as Google Chat or Messenger, the Absolute Buddy automatically puts in bold font any player on the poker player's list who is currently logged into the site. Those who are displayed in gray are not presently online.

To indicate whether a certain player is at a poker table or not, the Absolute Buddy will place a small triangle next to that player's name with the ability to even check the table's name. By double clicking the table name, the player is automatically transferred to the table. Absolute Poker has thought out everything with this new software feature!

The Absolute Buddy can also be used to sort contacts for blackjack, and is available in the Absolute Poker lobby. The service is absolutely free and is available to any registered Absolute Poker customer. The name of any player in the card room can be added to the player's buddy list, although players have the option of blocking specific players from seeing them enter the site. Players can even keep notes about their opponents through a unique player's note feature.

The Senior Vice President for Absolute Poker, David Clainer said about the new Absolute Buddy: "We're taking our online poker community to an entire new level by making it easier for players to connect with one another."
