I once sat for about two hours playing on UB, i saw quads dealt no less than seven times. Does that seem high to you? Cause it does to me. UB is at best a grannie network. Dealing super hands to keep grandma happy.:):):)

The Ultimate Bet / Absolute poker sites have been involved in 2 instances of insider cheating (that we know of), in the last year. Why would anyone still trust them with their money?

2 hours is statistically meaningless, as you must know, so anomalies or outliers are equally meaningless.

A lot of people have been speaking poorly of my favorite website, UltimateBet.com and nobody is speaking good of it. I see some people in the CardsChat freerolls so how are you going to let the UltimateBet haters speak of it like that? If you like UltimateBet as much as Phil Hellmuth and I do, post in this thread with some contact information such as your screen name. If you do so, I will put you on my buddy list as well.

How accurate was I there, MissThang?

Ultimate Bet sucks. It's slow, the design is terrible, and it's so dull.

Yes, like not having super-users and then trying to cover it all up. And then on top of that there's the crappy (just my opinion here, but the super-users is fact) interface and such.

UB still has one of the BEST tournament structures on the web, and offers the BEST rake (standard 10%) at micro limit tournaments (unlike FT and PS who charge 20-25%), and has the BEST stakes (as low as $0.20 + 0.02) for bankroll management with limited resources.

UB was my first site and it's still my favorite site.

What a company did in the past, under a different owner, shouldn't really influence how you deal with a company in the present. All these people who are rabidly anti any specific site are just going to eventually cause the downfall of every site, at least to US players.

Just remember that even PS and FT have had major problems. Either with bots, collusion or some other deal that caused them to have to refund money to players. 2+2's leader, Mason Bigmouth (or whatever his name is) has it in for UB, I guess they didn't kickback enough cash to him like Stars does.

Personally I prefer the software at UB to anywhere else. The miniview feature is fantastic, I don't need to see a "round" table, just minimize things so I can fit a bunch of tables on my screen and still be able to surf the net.

LOL at people using Ultimate Bet. They are certified by the Kahnawake indian tribe, do some research on them and decide whether or not you'd trust them with your money.

So is Full Tilt. So why do YOU play on that site?

Ultimate bet is the only site i know of that has it's bonuses tied to contributory rake and not paticipatory rake. This means you must be in the hand til the end to get any credit. This doesn't seem right to me. On most sites all you need to do is see a flop. So their bonuses are worthless.

I like the software, and they fork over a lot of money to players like myself trying to keep us around after the whole super user scandal.

I'm not exactly loyal to any site. As long as I can deposit/withdrawl my money easily, they give me a large amount of cash back compared to the rake I pay, and they don't hassle me, that's where I'll play.

Ultimate Bet seems rigged in my opinion, I see group 1 hands dealt almost every hand and so many bad beats compared to other sites I'm not sure but it just seems like it is rigged.

We at Kahnawake are Mohawks, and are a nation, not a tribe. The Kahnawake Gaming Commission hosts hundreds of online sites, Absolute Poker and Ultimatebet being just two. Those two are owned by Joe Norton, former chief or the Mohawks here for many years.
Are you implying that Mohawks are dishonest because we are 'indian tribe?'
If so, look at where you are playing, because chances are that your platform is 'regulated' or hosted by KGC, a trail blazer and leader in online gaming on Turtle Island.

I do like UB's tourney structure, but thats about it, even navigating through the software on the interface was a bit confusing....but then again thats because I am used to PS and FT's

Quote of a lifetime, glad I finally read it here.
Readers: Insert the name of your least-fave site at the start of this sentence, for complete 'rigged' gratification, particularly after seeing an anomaly, getting beat bad, or having a losing session... Post to as many forums as you can find, you will get sympathy I promise.

There is one table per limit that is a no maximum buyin table. So you can buyin for any amount. I've seen people drop into those tables with as much as $500 before. Personally I love to see that, they usually play way too aggressively and it's not hard to take some cash from them.

May have been under a previous owner, but it is the present ownership that was guilty of dragging it's feet in the enquiry, hoping that the allegations would run out of steam.

I hate Ultimatebet for a different reason - their minimum deposit is $25. Their minimum withdrawal? $50! Crooks

However, their bonus NEVER expires, unlike every other site where there is a time frame for clearing/earning.
