Poker's Giaan Perrony who tells us a few insights into the world of online
absolute Poker rooms. few questions answers :Writer/Editor: What is your history with Online absolute Poker and the Internet?
Online absolute Poker- GP: My background is in marketing. I owned and operated a direct mail company in the 90's that specialized in print and postal distribution, and in 1997 I started working with Sportsbook.com and several of their other properties, producing and fulfilling CDs and other marketing materials. From that introduction I started to specialize in providing marketing services to a wide range of online gaming companies, including Online absolute Pokerprior to their launch.
Writer/Editor: How long have you been with AP now?
Online absolute Poker- GP: I moved from Canada to Costa Rica and joined Online absolute Pokerfull-time in July 2003 and was the 7th person to get involved, (we now have over 130).
Writer/Editor: And what changes have you seen with both the company and the industry in that time?
Online absolute Poker- GP: The timing was good for Absolute
Poker. At the time we launched there were less than 10 serious
bonus players in the industry, and we quickly established ourselves as one of the top poker bonus sites. The industry went through incredible growth for about a year and a half, and then leveled off a little for about 4 months. It has now resumed its' fast growth and is stronger than ever for poker bonus players.
Writer/Editor: Do you yourself play poker and claim bonuses?Online absolute Poker- GP: Absolutely! I started playing in grade 7 with a group of friends, mostly 5 card poker draw, and a crazy game we called in-between.
Writer/Editor: What is your favorite poker bonus game to play?
Online absolute Poker- GP: I am one of those crazy players that loves the split poker games online - especially Omaha H/L with a kill :-).
Writer/Editor: And online poker bonus game?
Online absolute Poker- GP: Multiple SitNGos in Omaha H/L are the best, but I am also into PL Omaha poker of any type.
Writer/Editor: I assume you can't play at AP so where do you play and why?
Online absolute Poker- GP: Stars and Party mostly - Stars has great software, and both have lots of players to keep the poker games going. Also great online poker bonus games.
Writer/Editor: Which games get the most action in your Online absolute Poker
rooms?
Online absolute Poker- GP: Definitely Holdem, especially in the $3/6 to $5/10 range.
Writer/Editor: Have you seen any significant changes in the sortt of games people play since opening and if so what would you attribute that to?
Online absolute Poker- GP: We are seeing more players in the non-Holdem games over time, and I believe that this is primarily due to players becoming more comfortable with the game, and wanting to expand their experience, and skill level.
Writer/Editor: What do you feel separates AP from the rest of the online Online absolute Pokerrooms?
Online absolute Poker- GP: Great promotions, especially with our redeposit bonuses, and more FreeRolls than any other site are definitely attractive. Our personalized icons are really only used by Stars and ourselves, and players love them. We have a reputation for excellent customer support, and for quick withdrawals, both of which add confidence to our players.
