Here’s your weekly roundup and hats off to WARRICKDUNN28, TCB21, ANNETTE_15, DELUXEFACE, WMMCL, 4ACESRS and MAHI-MAHI for taking it down in the BIG guarantees during another CEREUSLY exciting week!

Quite a few players find themselves at times with small change in their accounts and often forget that they also have some points which they might assume aren’t worth much. Some other sites offer points tourneys and micro buyin tourneys and maybe one or two might win out of 180 players. Not very appealing. Well check out the most recent offerings we have in this buyin range. You can participate in the very popular Wild Card tourneys for as little as 77 points or 77 cents!! Watch out for the 300 seat giveaway to the UBOC Championship coming up later in December which you’ll be able to use points to satellite into with too! Be sure to click on the Satellites tab the next time you log in and turn that small change into a big win on the most exciting network in poker!!

Welcome to the weekly roundup and before we get into the list, we’d like to point out that the new $100k Guaranteed on Sunday and the popular $200k Guaranteed later on the same day absolutely *blew* past their guaranteed prize pools!! We were expecting this but it’s still nice for all of us to see these guarantees increase significantly in popularity. The power of CEREUS is becoming a lot clearer now that the dust is settling after the launch.
Congratulations go out to MRCASINO, JSJH94, DIPTHR0NG, RONTEIG, HAWAIIMIKEY, YOUNGSUPREMACY, BAXT for taking it down during the first week of CEREUS!

The Card Room would like to say to all of you welcome aboard the new CEREUS platform. We finally made it and although there have been a few minor bugs, overall the launch has been a tremendous success. As well we have been addressing issues brought up by our players including software improvements that have been suggested.
As you may or may not be aware, the bigger player base allows for large guarantees that happen more frequently and higher stakes tables along with pushing up our famous bad beat jackpot that much quicker! In fact, just *two* days after the launch of CEREUS, new UB player ‘Square Route’ took down over $250,000 after losing a hand holding a straight flush!! Sounds like a dream come true and your turn may be just around the corner!
Check out our hot bad beat tables and the new guarantee schedule below!
Wednesday 21:00, Sniper $80K Guaranteed, $200+15
Thursday 20:30, $100K Guaranteed, $1000+50
Saturday 15:30, $15K Guaranteed DoubleStack (PLO 8/b), $150+12
Saturday 17:30, $100K Guaranteed, $300+20

To pick up where we left off last week, we’ve decided to hold off on launching the bloggers tournament for the time being. As you may have noticed, there have been a few changes around here so this week didn’t result in the response necessary to make decisions about the tournament structures. We would still like to hear your suggestions for a bloggers only tournament though!
For example, what type of format would you like to see? How can we create an enticing prize structure? Should we use tangible prizes or reward winners with seats at the 200K weekly tourney? Or is cash the most appealing option? If we set up a blog based tournament where all you had to do was come here to get the information, would you play?
Let’s here your thoughts and put together a tournament built around your suggestions.
GL at the tables.

All of us here in the card room would like to extend a warm welcome to all you poker players out there! We’re very excited that we now have the ability to communicate directly to our players what’s happening in the card room, what unique promotions we have coming down the pipe, analysis of our major tournament and ring games along with gathering your feedback and fostering discussion so that we might be able to fine tune what makes us a big player in the world of poker. Along with managing the nuts and bolts of our ring game and tournament offerings, the Card Room is where all the great ideas from our marketing department, our pros and players like you get put into action. One idea floating around right now is a ‘bloggers only’ tournament which, as the title indicates, would be a special tournament posted just for our UB bloggers out there. Details still need to be worked out but some ideas we’re thinking of are “one week it could be for people that have a blog that is more than a year old that has this blog in their blogroll”, “one week it could be bloggers who’ve put posted on their own site about why they want to play in the UB bloggers only tournament, and then put a link to this blog”, “one week we select at random from bloggers who’ve commented on this blog”. Let’s get a discussion started on this one. We’d especially like your feedback on how the structure and style of tournament you’d like to see and any other suggestions you might have. Check back frequently for card room news, promos and updates and we’ll see you at the tables!
