I never believed UB was `unnatural`, but have come around to that opinion. The 'fix' could be simple as using a fraction of the deck on some percentage of deals - if the deck contains nothing lower than 9, perhaps that explains the rash of wired pairs. There are times when it seems all that gets dealt are face cards. Sure, these things happen in live games - I had a straight flush beat a flush and full house on the same hand, but will probably never see that again. On UB AA,KK,QQ,JJ are too often a death sentence. Too many people playing too many hands have seen the same thing to mark it up to 'bad play' or 'sour grapes.'
