Back to Vegas
March 3, 2010 by Liv Boeree Filed under Ultimate Bet
Ah, it’s good to be back. I just landed back in Vegas from LA after a fun, very short flight. I busted out of the main event at the start of day two after playing my ass off all day long (was really, REALLY pleased with the way I played) and then getting screwed over [...]
Heading Home and Then Off to The Chicago Poker Classic
February 27, 2010 by Roy "The Oracle" Winston Filed under Poker Pro's
Well my current trip to the Commerce has come to an end. I wound up busting out of the main event with a bit of a cooler with nut flush versus a full house. The way the pot played I just got stuck and I guess had a bad read on my opponent. The turn …

Hello fellow UB’ers…
The UBOC tourneys are over and I must say i really look forward to them every year as it’s a super chance to play bigger buy-in tourneys on various games for a chance to win much more cash. Sounds like a win, win, win to me.
I had seen Gary “Debo34″ had made a [...]
#972 – Allen Cunningham is Funnier Than You Would Imagine
February 24, 2010 by mcraig Filed under Full Tilt Poker
Allen Cunningham hosted the FTOPS XV Main Event last Sunday, so I tuned in for his Pro Chat. Like Erik Seidel, Cunningham is smart and witty, but his reluctance to become a public figure has kept his personality carefully hidden. I know Allen a little, not well, and was curious how he would appear in [...]

#970 – FTOPs Recap: Two of the Good Guys Won
February 22, 2010 by mcraig Filed under Full Tilt Poker
FTOPS XV is now officially in the books. It was a rare winning series for me, not that I am particularly happy about it. For me, the lingering memory will be busting out of the Main Event after flopping a set, only to lose to a player who flopped a higher set and made quads [...]

Aussie Millions 2010 – Part II
January 27, 2010 by Marty Smyth Filed under Poker Pro's
I’ve been having a think about things, since I busted out of the Aussie Millions main event earlier today and there are two things about my play that I find very puzzling. Firstly, I seem to do so badly in the first few levels of a tournament. I’ve …
The Bahamas
January 18, 2010 by Roothlus Filed under Ultimate Bet
This year my Bahamas experience was different than any of the other four years I’ve gone–the weather wasn’t good. Although it is all relative. 70 degrees, cloudy, and 10mph winds really isn’t the end of the world. But in the Bahamas that’s just unacceptable! So for the most part, I stayed inside. I brought my [...]
#936 – Tournament Preservation Strategy, Part V – 2009 World Series Final Table
December 25, 2009 by mcraig Filed under Full Tilt Poker
Everything gets exaggerated at the Final Table of the Main Event. It is such a unique spot that I am not even sure which rules SHOULD apply. But if you believe in the idea of turning down a reasonable opportunity for something better later, the Final Table of the Main Event would be such a [...]

Vegas house and Poker
December 9, 2009 by Billy Kopp Filed under Ultimate Bet
I am finally blogging from my new home in Henderson, Nevada. After a long wait, I finally closed on it today and received the keys. I have been shopping all day trying to furnish the place. I never knew there were so many random items and products to get for a completely bare home. I [...]
