ONLINE POKER - SITE - UltimateBet

UB used to be my main site. I turned 65 into over 600 in a matter of a couple of weeks playing a couple of hours a day playing no higher than .25 .50 blind no limit holdem. Then I started taking the bad beats. Every other idiot who called pot sized bets with a straight or a flush draw hit. I am not going overboard when I say that every 5 out of 10 hands won with a straight or a flush. I thought that I was playing Omaha. All that being said I still play there do to the fact i can always find a game without a long wait which is not possible with other rooms like Doyle's Room which I like but is lacking in full 9 handed action despite the fact that straights and flushes don't seem to come up nearly as often(which isn't hard for anybody who as played at ub to understand.)

Probably the best site as far as tourney's go. Lots of freerolls if you like that sort of thing. However it is by far the WORST site for cash games. STAY CLEAR OF CASH GAMES. Very weak players chasing flushes, str8's or just calling with one overcard and catching on the river. It's weird because in tournament play this doesn't happen nearly as often. Just beware of flopping sets and being sucked out by someone chasing a river str8 or flush. They'll catch a good 70-80% of the time, Stay clear of cash games and take advantage of the good tournaments.

I really thought I found a good poker site. Then of course the bad beats start to begin constantly again. I'm starting to believe every poker site on the internet is set up the same.Once you start on a new site you seem to win by playing solid poker. Ya know going all in with a set or str8. Raising with top pair or top 2 pair and 90% of the time your hands hold up. Then after a while, even though your style doesn't change, the results do. 4 Tournaments in a row no I've lost with top 2 pair and facing a set. A couple of examples me with AQ I slow play and just call the BB. No raisers. Flop AQ4 rainbow. I check everyone checks. Next card 9spades. I bet pot get reraised go all-in and low and behold the guy has pocket aces. I lose. Next tourney almost the same thing I have KJ suited I raise standard raise of 4 times big blind, get called, flop K8J two hearts I bet pot get called next card J of spades. I'm all in get called guy has KK. Happened two more times in a row. Not to mention how many str8's and sets I've had cracked on the river in cash games. Every site I've been to seems to go like this. Party Poker, Pacific Poker, Paradise Poker, Empire Poker and now Ultimate bet. Guess I should just stick to card nights with the guys and casino's. At least if I lose there I know it's not because of the supposed "random" card generators. It's amazing how in a casino if I have the best hand after the flop I win about 90% of the time, yet on line I struggle to win after having best hand on flop. Best hand on flop seems to win maybe 40% of the time.Internet players also go to casino's and you can tell them right away. They bet poorly, play mediocore hands and chase flushes and inside str8's constantly however in a casino they'll catch and inside str8 maybe 1 in 25 times which is about the average they should catch. Not the 4 out of 10 you see online or a good 75% when chasing a flush online. If anyone knows of a CONSISTANT poker site please let me know.I love the game but don't live near a casino and enjoy playing. Just can't stand the incosistancies that go along with the internet poker.

for the truest games try paradise and true poker. The reason why there are so many bad beats is because there are not enough randomly generated decks from which the programme can choose, and effectively the same 8% o hands will be dealt over a certain period of time.Paradise and true have over a million decks plus from which to deal and the chances of seeing repeating patterns, are almost negligible. And no, I don't work for any site. Am just a regular player, who has noticed repeated patterns on sites such as party, ub and vegas.

I referred 4 friends to this site and did not see any bonus money at all. They have no phone number just an email so they will never get back to you when you have a legitimate gripe. One of the WORST sites on the net. Constant chasers always catch river straights or flushes. I was just knocked out of a tournament when I had JQ flop came 10 J Q I bet pot guy to me left raises, I go all in he calls with K 6. Turn 4 River Ace. Happens 8 out of every ten 10 times on this site, making it impossible for good poker. Most every internet poker room is the same. I believe simply because they are hiding behind a computer so bad calls and chasers cannot be chastized face to face. Not to mention the shit that goes on with the ridiculous bad beats on line doesn;t happen in real life 90% of the time. Someone said it above. In real life if you're ahead after the flop you have a great chance of winning on line it's a coin flip that most often does not end up in you're favor. Ultimate Bet is probably the WORST online poker site there is as far as true poker goes. Party Poker is better. At least you can contact them by phone. They may not give you answers you like but at least they respond to you unlike those PUSSIES at Ub. Don't waste time or money on this piece of shit site. It's worthless. On another note. The bonus dollars are the most ridiculous of all the sites I've played on. For every Ultimate point you earn you get .10 of you're bonus dollars. So in order to collect .10 Ub must rake in at least $1.00. That's a crock of shit. It should be like all other sites. Play a certain amount of raked hands and get your bons money. UB SUCKS!!!!!!!!

In terms of graphics and ease of use, I haven't found any site comparable to UltimateBet. I haven't played long enough on other sites, but the bad beats on UltimateBet are so unreal. I've been trying to figure out how the program works, but there is a definite flaw in the program which I think "helps" the big stack/aggressive type player to catch cards on the river. Time and time again, I see it happening. People argue that we see them more because that we play so many hands online and that it's faster play than in real life poker. But that doesn't hold true because of the ratio of bad beats. I'd really suggest having someone actually playing and taking records of their games. Then you'll see how UB cheats...

Me again... also, I suspect that the bad beats happen to the short stack and help the big stacks in order to help end games faster and save bandwidth. Just a thought.
