The other day, Ultimate Bet gave me a ten-spot. I haven’t really played a lot there for a couple of years. I did deposit there a month or so ago to give a friend an account to play. After that hundred went up in smoke, I didn’t think about the site again until then.
I played UB SnGs and Tournaments over 100 hours a month back when I was active there. I was working on getting a better game and the site is ideal for that. (You can play SnG’s for as little as a $1.10 and they’ve got decent freerolls that are the best I’ve found for learning tournament play.) With all that play in $5.50 and $11 SnGs, I didn’t clear a penny of bonus. I wrote their support and got no results and told them I wouldn’t be back until they changed that. I was cutting off my nose to spite my face; I never played on a SnG site that was as profitable for me since.
They have a very reasonable approach to blind progression. I tried one of their freeroll tournaments yesterday. At the end of the first hour, blinds were 50/100. And the blinds after the hour went to 75/150. The TonyG tournaments I’ve been playing are 100/200 at the end of the hour and are 100/200 +25 going into the second hour. At UB that doesn’t happen until an hour and a half has passed. The point of slower blinds affect ones approach. I am a lot more aggressive on TonyG. I had a lot more flexibility in game approach on UB than other sites. Some
