Memphis with the Prescott’s

I decided to leave WPT Biloxi after needing a bit of time off and I decided to go up to Memphis, TN with my friends Allie Prescott and fellow UB Pro Liv Boeree.  Allie is from Memphis and he said he was going to show me around a little, take us out to some local [...]

Q-10 in the Cutoff, raise it up!

While playing in the UBOC’s (UltimateBet.com Online Championships), an interesting situation came up. With the blinds at $200-$400, and a $25 a person ante, I was sitting on $10,000 in chips while holding Q-10 off suit in the cutoff position—one position to the right of the button.
Everyone folded to me, and I glanced [...]

UBOC…

The first month of 2010 has already come and gone and the Fourth Ultimate Bet Online Championship is over with.  You know how most of the time a TV show gets worse and worse as the seasons go on.  The opposite is true of UBOC.  This year every tournament made its guarantee, and we held [...]

A UBOC After Party

We’re still celebrating our most successful UBOC ever! Congratulations to all our winners, especially DoubleDave22 for winning the main event. We hope you enjoyed our schedule and the structure of the tournaments.  Speaking of victories, let’s not forget about those unbelievable Saints who defied the odds all season long and especially Sunday night.  Congrats to [...]

UBOC Recap

UB came out with a great schedule of tournaments this year for UBOC 4. I decided this year I was going to jump in with both feet and play as many tournaments as I could stand for the 11 days. My tournament volume had not been very high for quite some time. I turned away [...]

Chasing Snow, The End

I’m pretty bummed as we head West through Edwards, CO on our way toward Las Vegas. It’s definitely time for this trip to be over, but I love Colorado so much and it makes me sad every time I leave. I mean, we just drove by a dude and his dog ice fishing on a [...]

UBOC y UBOCness

Last week was the wonderful, wonderful week that is the UBOC.  I’ve never been a huge online player (now by huge, I mean compared to some of the folks I know who multi 24 + tables 12 hours per day), but I’ve played a fair bit over the past few months and I’ve never gotten [...]

This One Will Take Longer

Friday saw UBOC Event #16, which was the sort of deep-stack event that is akin to trench warfare. You get behind your fortification of chips and only need to venture out into No Man’s Land when you see an opportunity. Yesterday UBOC Event, however, was a Turbo Rebuy event, in which players engaged in a [...]
