Ultimate Bet Review

UB.com formerly known as Ultimate Bet is one of the better-known online poker rooms, having established in 2001, at the same time when online poker rooms were only beginning to come into existence. Its merger with Absolute Poker to form the CEREUS network has been a revolutionary step for both the poker sites in way of traffic generation. Many notable poker players such as Phil Hellmuth patron the online poker room whereas its recent upgrade in features has improved its overall look and performance.

UB Poker Software:

After its tie up with Absolute Poker and the creation of the CEREUS network, Ultimate Bet or UB.com has an improved and advanced software running its operations. It now offers some excellent features such as multi-tabling facilities, hot keys, resizable tables, crisp graphics, fast game play and a user-friendly interface.

Even during multi-tabling, the game play is efficient while a rabbit cam is available in some of the Holdem games that enable players to watch the developments at the turn and the river. Apart from this a buddy list is available that tells you when your friends are online, so that you may interact with them.

UB Poker Games:

UB Poker offers a grand variety of games that include Texas Holdem, Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, 7 Card Stud, 7 Card Stud Hi, 7 Card Stud Hi/Lo, Razz, H.O.R.S.E, H.O.S.E including casino favourites such as Blackjack. The competition is loose at the micro-levels but the high stake levels can be very challenging and intriguing for experienced players. No Limit Texas Holdem and Omaha at the micro limits are the games that you can target.

UB Poker hosts a multitude of tournaments with several tournaments taking place everyday. Buy-ins as low as $1 to a few thousands are available to suit the budget of every player. Also available are qualifiers to major live poker events, such as WPT, EPT, Aussie Millions, Aruba Poker Classic and World Series of Poker. You can find pros at the higher buy-in tournaments.

There are a number of high paying guaranteed tournaments available at UB.com with the $200,000 guaranteed tournament held on Sundays being quite a favourite. Also you can find some lucrative freerolls that not only offer cash prizes, but also other prizes such as entries to live events. The competition at the higher buy-ins is very taxing and requires a good amount of poker playing skill.
