There might just be a tiny bit of overlay in this week's first Sunday $10,000.

Not bad for a $91 / $9 , $100 BI. :D

All they do to make sure your within Nevada is to require you to submit a Cell Phone number and authorize them the right to "Ping" it occasionally to assure you are within the state.

So Im now in the cell phone business?

You buy your cheapy cell and I keep them here charging for a nominal fee? lol

kidding, of course.

:D

i live in the bible belt. wonder haw many decades it will take for it to get here lol
You don't have to worry about that. When it comes to making a buck vs paying attention to bible verses, making a buck wins out every time...if your state wants to make a buck, they'll look into it just as closely as any other state.

I think it's awesome too. You can live anywhere in the world and play on UltimatePoker as long as you're in the State of Nevada while you're playing....and as long as you have access to a cell phone from one of 3 carriers, Verizon not included at the moment. You live in L.A.?? You want to come over and play a little poker, but you're sick of the high rake at the casinos? Can you borrow a cell phone from your sister who has T-Mobile, Sprint, or AT&T? Come on over the border!! It's nice over here!!!! What's that you say? How are you going to cash out if you win??? Just walk up to the cage at any of the 16 Station Casinos and get your cash in hand. (You can deposit that way too).

row can play WHILE they're vising Nevada. As for the previous poster's sister's phone being in WA, that doesn't matter either...Borrow her phone and as long as that phone is located in NV at the time you get the text that you have to respond to, you're good to go.

If you're ROW and you're planning to come to Vegas for a visit, go ahead and download the site right now and check it out so that when you get here, you can plan what games you'll be playing. There's not much being offered right now, cause the whole thing's a beta test, but I think it's going to be a GO.

Coming from L.A.?? Don't wait till you're in Vegas. Stop at the first McDonalds or Starbucks for Internet access and go for it!! That would be Primm, I believe.:):D

Down side being, you cannot buy a lottery ticket in Nevada.

After all, thats Gambling.
:viking:

How stupid is it that for her office Lottery pool, my wife has to drive 20 miles to just over the border into Cali to buy their lottery tickets.

Just meant that a lot of people may want to go in on a lot and throw up a mailbox and viola, you live in Nevada.
property cheap right outside of white pine range


Because a new OLP site opened in what's already America's gambling Mecca?

Come on.

Overwhelming success on Day 1. Fantastic news. Despite the fact that a player must possess a phone with service from one of only 3 cell carriers, UltimatePoker is swamped beyond their wildest. Cash games of all sizes going, SNGs, tremendous response. And the first MTT isn't till Sunday.

Just curious is anyone knows. Does the next state have to have everything their own? Or can UP get into another state, maybe even have the same people run it, as long as none of the players play with anyone in another state?

I would normally agree with you about this filling up on any of the established sites but this is very different. The site is as new as they come and has a very limited pool so far.

Its also a situation where UP is not concerned about profitability of the individual game as yet, more so about attracting players and making this "WORK".

so Im thinking this is one of the very few opportunities we have as poker players lucky enough to be able to get into the game, not to miss this one.

Totally worth you SoCal monkeys to take a ride over the border to stay at your fav hotel, sit in the room and take advantage.

Good size purse, minimal field, major overlay.

6 registered on the 1st day, 5 days to go, 94 player overlay.

10 registered on the 2nd day, 4 days to go, 90 player overlay.

14 registered on the 3rd day, 3 days to go, 86 player overlay.


Im In......

With 10,000 starting stacks, 15 minute blinds, and a very generous blind structure, this game is going to heavily favor better/tighter players. I mean 2 hours in, your average player will still be around 20M or 35BB.

Finally an OL game that mimics the structure of B&M games.

<<<<< very excited, can you tell?

I see this as a step in the wrong direction. The more we have single states doing OLP the harder it will be to ever federally regulate it. This is bad news imo.

Baby steps WV, baby steps, just like med weed

And here is me getting excited for you guys.

This will be like where some states are "dry" do you think but there will be more dry states than there is for other stuff?

We do not have to deal with the federal/state stuff so its not something that crosses my mind that much.
