NBC National Heads Up Championship Here I Come!

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 [...]

A Quick Break

Last weekend I took a 2 day break from playing to take my wife and son and join up with some friends to go on a 2 night snowmobile trip. We rented cabins at Elk lake resort which is about 35 miles from town. The cool part is that the highway is closed about 15 [...]

Random Stuff

UBOC 4 has come to a finish but with little success here.  Unfortunately due to the WPT Biloxi and travelling I had to miss several of the events.  I hosted the PLO 8 event, which was fun and exciting although I busted fairly early.  Congratulations to YOSSARIAN80 who took home $25,000 for the victory and [...]

Start Strong, Finish Strong

Last night saw the fourth UB Online Championships come to an end after eighteen glorious events. Time flies when millions in prize money are changing hands, it seems like just yesterday that Ty “KEEFKING420″ Reiman won UBOC Event #1, the final table of which also featured Dave “DOUBLEDAVE22″ D’Alessandro. That first night also saw a [...]

Take it to the Limit

Writing that title makes me think that I haven’t listened to the Eagles in…twenty years? I’ve finally gotten to the age where I can say stuff like that and frankly I don’t like it much. Anyway, once upon a time (not twenty years ago but close enough) limit poker was the game in town. The [...]

Head to Head

An event that rapidly became one of the most prestigious in poker is the NBC National Heads-Up Championship. Heads-up play has always been a popular form of poker–the legendary match between Johnny Moss and Nick “the Greek” Dandalos was the precursor to the World Series of Poker. And the biggest battles in recent online history–the [...]

A star-studded lineup for a sick championship

UBOC is like a fine wine, it gets better with time. Looking back, UBOC 1 was like a clumsy baby trying to find his way in a world and wasn’t quite mature enough yet. That child crawled his way to a full upright position. He is no longer a toddler: he now has a personality [...]

New UB TV spots and Banners

2009 was an exciting year for the UB marketing team. We got to rebrand UltimateBet to UB, redesign our merchandise, web sites, poker software and pretty much all of our marketing and advertising. It was a challenge, but a good one. We are proud of how far we’ve come and the changes we’ve made for [...]

November – More Down Time, Bellagio Five Diamond, Hold’em for Heroes, Thanksgiving.

As 2009 starts winding down, I have a few things lined up.
Since I decided to skip the WPT event at Foxwoods, the next live tournament for me will be the WPT Bellagio Five Diamond Tournament.  I always have thought that the Five Diamond draws better fields than the Fest al Lago event.  The Five Diamond [...]

UB Poker School

This past weekend I was part of the UB Poker School shoot. That’s right…UB is putting together a poker school full of great information ranging from how you navigate the site to basics of poker like position and starting hand selection to advance concepts like tilt and multi-tabling. After having been at the shoot the [...]
