Copy and paste that so there is no mistake!
Tomorrow night is your chance to go after $450 in prizes with ZERO buy in. First place takes cash and a seat at the 200K GTD. There are cash payouts for top finalists and a nice twist.
Before you even play you can win $50! Simply take a guess at how many players will play in the tournament! If you guess closest without going over, we’ll give you $50. Here are the rules.
To qualify for the $50 bonus offer, you need to do the following.
1. Comment in THIS BLOG POST (NO COMMENTS IN OTHER BLOG POSTS WILL BE COUNTED) with your Ultimate Bet username and your guess at how many players will register for this tournament.
2. *Your username and your guess need to be included in the body of your comment.
3. *Just like the Price Is Right, the closest guess wins WITHOUT going over.
4. *In the event of a tie, the comment posted first wins.
5. *Only one guess per person – If you guess more than once, only your first guess will be counted.
6. *If you don’t put your Ultimate Bet username EXACTLY correct, your guess will not be counted. We will not contact anyone if they mess up their username.
See you in the next Blog Freeroll!

Well hello my fellow UB’ers:
I don’t even know where to begin today. My brain is totally and completely frazzeled. (NO – I have not had any merlot – yet!) I have just spent 5 hours working on some financial reports in Excel. I swear I will dream about cells, equations, and formulas. GRRRRRR – ok now I feel better.
So I just finished creating the new Pro BLOG schedule and I think you will really like it. We have such a talented group of pros and they are all so eager to BLOG. I think you will find a lot of valuable information, insight and just entertainment value reading these BLOGs. If you have any suggestions for what you’d like any of them to write about, just reply to this thread and I’ll see if we can make it happen.
So this Sunday August 9th will be a very cool day to be online playing. A majority of the team will be up and playing in the new Seven/Deuce games on UB. They are getting a ton of positive press and the pros really seem to like them too. Check out Mr. Hellmuth playing on Sunday night at 8:00 PM EST in the high roller tourney on the site. That will not be boring!
Not too much is new this week – just more Aruba planning. We are going to have some very cool entertainment lined up for you all (no – sadly NOT Bon Jovi – but I tried) as well as some new on island experiences. Make sure you qualify and get your butt to the beach!
I think this may just be the shortest BLOG I have ever written (and yes – I can hear you – probably the most boring) but that’s just the way it goes sometimes. I’m not usually at a loss for words – so something must be wrong. Oh well – next week will be a doozy I’m sure.
Have a great week all!
P0ker J0 out!

Last Wednesday, DENERODAY won the Ultimate Bet Blog Tournament. We asked him to share his thoughts on his preparation for the Sunday 200K (first prize for the Blog Tournament was a seat at the 200K) His original post is here.
“Well here we are two days before the 200K! Sense last weeks Blog tournament I haven’t had much time for poker, only playing in a couple tournaments. Saturday will be my day to bone up on my play. I already have myself signed up for two $100 and one $1000 tournament and intend to play each as if it was the 200K. I consider myself a fairly tight, passively aggressive player. In the past I played alot of Lowball (5 card draw low) and this tought me alot of patience. All I can do is play my best game and hope that “OLD MAN RIVER ISN’T AGAINST ME”. You all know what I mean, flop the best, make your move, get called by second best and watch him take you down on the river. I never hold this against a player because I usually make them really pay to make that draw. Well we’ll see how it goes and I will be back to hopefully report some good news.”
Good luck DENERODAY!

Next week we’re having a tournament for anyone who finds this code (UBblog28) on this post. Actually, doesn’t really matter where you hear about it or where you read it, as long as you know that’s the code you need to enter the tournament.
The tournament will be on Wednesday January 28th at 8pm. Look for the UB Blog Tournament name in the schedule or find it with the number: 4011929.
On the line for this tournament, we’re putting in a $150 prize pool. 1st place will get an entry into the Sniper $50K Guarantee on February 1st and all the final table players will win an entry into the next GIZMO main event.
So many different attitudes towards last night’s game… Talk at the tables ranged from chatter to funny entertaining to nasty. Glad to see so many players got into it though, it was fun to read the chats and watch from the sidelines (finished early in 79th). I’m aiming for top three on the next one.
Look out for PYROCRAZY 60 who knocked me out last time with trip sevens. He also went on to win 3rd place in the tournament, very respectable. This time around, let’s see if KNOWMAAD can maintain 1st place. He’s been very active on the blog, but Gene, our UB blogger, says he’s gunning for him.
Read all about the previous blog tournament here. Remember, UBblog28 is your password.
