UltimateBet is Hideous

[aliengenius]

wtf are you people talking about?
Simple tables w/o retarded cartoon avatars bothers you?

i.e.:

LOL! I actually LOVE Ultimatebet's interface. But to each his own, I guess.

(btw, best tourney structure on da interwebs)


(btw, best low limit brm site on da interwebs, with only 10% rake on even the lowest limit games, vs. 20/25% on other sites)

(btw, best site to build a bankroll: you can play sngs as low as $0.50 +0.05 ^^ see above 10% rake)




see above, and: STFU

I dont mind UB's software, i joined a new poker club that uses their software too. But their r alot of donks on UB. If the buttons and such r hard for u to use , u might want to change ur computers resolution , that will make everything bigger.

Ultimatebet is my favorite site although Fulltilt is growing on me. I am still way over my head at pokerstars. For instance, I required help today because I couldn't find the HU tournament I was scheduled for in the Guys V Gals event. Seems to me a cash game should be much easier to locate. If it was at either of the other two sites I would have located it without any assistance. The only recommendation for Pokerstars for me is that I am able to use the CC avatar. I wish the other sites would allow it.

lol, also remember this was the stupendous site that continued to deny the superuser business even after the majority of the players who played that high pretty much had conclusively proven it (the guy was playing in some of the highest games on the internet and had like 90% won at showdown with crazy stats seeing like 80% of flops, calling down with T high and being good against a bluff by 9 high). Of course the super-user thing didn't affect most (all?) people here, but you're dealing with the same support and such. They chose to lie to protect their bottom line (finally gave in after everyone knew and basically they were going to lose business without doing something). Meanwhile sites like Stars and Tilt pay out to people based on collusion without the people not even knowing they were colluded against until they get the money. Hmm, which site do I trust more with my cash?

That said, I can understand where especially low limit or tournament players would play on UB, I just see no upside to playing cash there and a few definite downsides.

Anyone understand this quote??? I never liked UB, never deposited there and never won there. Till I played the CC games that are donkless. Personally, I don't care if the graphics are crappy, I'd rather win on a graphically crap site, than lose on one that makes me feel like I'm actually in a B&M casino. As for PKR, it may be the only poker site where the dealer actually "burns" a card, but hell is it slow and takes up tons of room on ur comp.

I just have to say that the only time I play on UltimateBet is for the Cardschat freeroll, and the interface there is terrible.

It is extremely hard for me to believe that people who's living involves creating and running a poker site couldn't do a better job.

Does anyone else find this interface hard to use and the tables just not pleasant to look at?

I totally agree with you 100%, but I've seen alot worser looking sites, duplicate poker, action poker, just to name and I could go on and on, so U.B is none the less butt ugly, but compared to those 2 you U.B is the best looking one ever

UB is made ugly on purpose... Hellmuth being ugly, he wanted to look good, compared to his site .......

either i have the the dumz or this thread is the dumz, not sure, i can't brain today.

[ogawumbo]

Y, its bad!!

The main bad thing is that UB-software takes control of ur computer. Watch streaming media and play UB at the same time is abs. impossible. It really slow down ur comp.

 

[digiclyde]

I play on Ultimate only if I have no other games to play. Way too many people and too many sitters and donks.

 

[RichKo]

I totally agree w/ holdem3x. I like UB's setup cause I can't stand looking at avitars(even though i turn them off at FT). I like the plain look. And I have a graphic design degree, but when I'm playing poker I'm not looking for pleasing flowing design or scintillating colors... the only color that matters to me is GREEN!

 

[Makwa]

I still have money there, cos of the bonuses, but otherwise forget it, for many reasons listed above. AG is also correct there are some advantages. However, overall, it reminds me of the old Gaming Club, a cheap site with low traffic, which is doomed to remain a small pimple on the internet ass, and will eventually fade away.

 

[paulwall01]

The site is boring but i have won more money on UB than anywhere else.... Just seeing the names actually help me not to mistake someone else for a stranger and the notes are good for me...

 

[Dagon7]

Ultimatebet is not bad for free rolls, and I find people to be more chatty and friendly in cash games than most places ( I like to play and chat, hence cards chat), but I agree the interface, the back grounds and not being able to see what you folded keep me from playing too often.

 

[nccali]

ultametbet..??

i play there but think i do i just because my computer is crap....looking 4 a new site that a low end (still on dial-up) system will run on reilably and fast..???? ...messege me if u know of 1..please

 

[dcor]

the main gripe I have is that I cant see the cards I folded .
I know its not much I like to see what I missed lol

well i can say this and as far as i know ultimate bet is the only site that does this.....but in vegas...technically when someone mucks, if you want to be an ass you can make them show you their cards. (spoiler coming) hit the hand history button. It will show you your hole cards, who bet what and who did etc. etc......now if you are in the showdown and win the hand, THEN HIT HAND HISTORY, it will show you what your opponent/s had (what they mucked)....but they must have been in the showdown with you...in the fine print it will say so and so mucked jd9h or whatever ....that can be very useful when trying to figure out what type of player you are up against....i.e. if you sucked out or not....or if they are just a blatent idiot

 

[GSpicoli]

When I first started using UB I didn't like it and I thought it was tough to get around the site. After spending about a week on it I got used to it and I don't have any more problems with it. I think its OK now.

 

[j0sh1ngU]

First off I will never use that site simply because I have heard that admins can who run the site allow certain players and workers to see hole cards and cards opponents have. whether or not it is true the amount of people that i have heard it from stops me from using that site

 

[Sonic_x_Reducer]

My only gripe with Ultimate compared to Tilt and Stars is that it's not quick and simple to review the previous hand. On the other sites you can bring up an image of the last hand to review mucked cards etc., but on Ultimate you have to read it....ugh. It's not that I'm lazy and don't want to read...its just a much simpler and faster review on the other sites with the images of the table hands.

 

[turtlerox]

they recently lost a lot of money in justice because some players found out that another player was using a cheat bot to win and maybe they don't have anymore money to invest in their soft
so watch out everybody for those cheating bots

I'm sorry I started this thread...
