Unbelievable, isn’t?
Much to mention, and much to talk about… First major thing is that the UB Marketing team would like to congratulate Scott Ian for his amazing performance on the Sunday $200k Guaranteed. With a field of over 1000 players Scott achieved to make it to the final table and end up the tournament with a 3 player deal from which he walked away with over $30.000. Amazing performance and best wishes in his future tournaments!!
Huge news from the CEREUS network, and that is that we have already qualified over 50 players to this year’s WSOP Main Event. Chances are still available through our Step tourneys and every Sunday we are guaranteeing 1 seat @ our $530 satellite.
Last night our popular Wednesday $1000+50 event had some major online pro action. This tournament is getting more popular everyday due to the high profile players that usually play it. Proof of it, yesterday Shaun Deeb aka Tedsfishfry took down the event and cashed an approx. of $40.000.
Our jackpot was recently hit like 3 times in less than 4 days, the biggest it got was $800.000 and every day our jackpot tables are getting more popular. You can find them from the lowest to the highest stakes depending on your style of play and who knows; a bad beat could end up rewarding you thousands of dollars.
Thanks for paying us a visit and remember to check http://www.ultimatebet.com/poker-promotion for our latest promotions. For our Blackjack players we have some juicy prices this month to the player who achieves the most blackjacks during the day, so check the promo page and learn of the exciting prizes we have for you for the following weeks.

Can you believe we are almost in April? What the hell is happening with 2009?
I think the Earth might be speeding up because years seem like months now days, or maybe I am just getting old. Anyways, April means just 1 thing for the poker community: WSOP IS AROUND THE CORNER!!
We have already qualified over 40 players to the WSOP Main Event and our staff is very excited of all the plans we have for this year’s events.
The big question at UB definitely is: Will Phil be able win his 12th bracelet? We are definitely counting on it. If he achieves it, well his legend status will be more than confirmed and will give him a 2 bracelet advantage over Johnny Chan and Doyle Brunson. As the WSOP gets older, it’s quite clear that it will be hard for someone to ever tie him.
Enough about Phil…. Remember that UB is offering a $10.000.000 prize to any player that agrees to wear our gear and wins the Main Event. That’s right, not only the player will receive a prize ranging between $7m – $10m, but UB is offering and additional $10.000.000 for the player representing UB that ends up with the Main Event Bracelet.
We are looking forward for you to join us in Vegas, so remember that you can always try out our Steps to WSOP and also our $530 Sunday Satellite to WSOP to which you can qualify through our daily $10+1 rebuy qualifiers.
We invite you to visit our promo page @ http://www.casinowebcam.com/promotions/blackjack.htm to find out about our exiting promotions.
April is just a few days away and that means our popular $200.000 rake race is about to finish. The leaderboard updates every hour, so check your standing today… You could end up winning up to $15.000 and registered in a $20.000 Freeroll.
Good luck and see you at the tables!!

As we near the final episode of our 7 episode best damn poker show series II..I look to our players and viewers once again for their input. Our goal in filming series II was to improve on what we learned in producing series I and hence create more loyal viewership by both entertaining and educating them. This would be the same objective we have for producing series III as we desire to deliver a better show each and every time around.
As I anxiously await your feedback I’d like to share what we changed from series I to series II and why. We first decided to change the format by having someone eliminated every episode to be consistent with other top rated reality shows.
After Phil and Annie chose their teams their players competed in three team matches where they earned points for their teams. At the ends of those three matches the team with the most points would earn a thirty thousand chip advantage at the championship table. As it turned out Annie’s team fought back from a big deficit in the last team match and tied the competition, but that all added drama we didn’t have in series one when those team matches had no value, no one was eliminated (after each team match both Phil and Annie had to eliminate another player) nor was the winner granted immunity. It made each episode meaningful to the overall competition.
We also wanted to develop the characters more by offering more interviews both pre and post play but as well, capture their thoughts from the time of the current hand. This was also accomplished by starting with less players so we could give more air time to those likely to succeed. I think we also saw a significant improvement in the level of play from the players chosen this series.
Additionally, we wanted Phil and Annie to support their comments further vs. just shouting out things like “he shouldn’t’ have raised there…or “ I would have like to have just seen a call.” In addition to capturing further commentary to above we ended each episode with an “ultimate hand” feature, taking the key hand of the episode – replaying it and finally directing viewers to the site to hear a more in depth analysis from Phil and Annie’s perspective…both you will find quite opposite from one another.
Unlike other poker television shows we deliver both quality tournament poker supported by behind the scenes commentary from two legendary pros. Commentary that can help viewers understand strategy more clearly and in a more entertaining format. By allowing players 3 ways to qualify and open to anyone, we get a diverse group of offline and online players all who if lucky enough can land their way not into just another tournament show, but directly on a featured table televised on a national network. These are benefits only the ultimatebet.net best damn poker show offers. Phil and Annie charge students and celebrity students almost 50K+ for this kind of one on one coaching and instruction. Aside from what you see on camera the pros are with their teams anytime they are not viewing the action from the coaches studio.
But don’t’ let us tell you how great this show is..please tell us your thoughts on how we can improve for both those who want to participate on a future show and or simply view. We want to thank all of our viewers over the past two series and are committed to delivering quality poker programming.
Thanks,
Garin – Marketing

December is already a blurr with so much going on. They decorated the marketing office yesterday. And, in case you’re wondering, yes, we did get a christmas tree, with red and gold decorative balls. Not as entertaining as the flags on all the desks for independence day, but even a fake tree cheers you up when it’s lit.
The UB points store is buzzing and the most wanted items all look great to me: plasma TV, a GPS, a digital camera, and a tower of chocolates.
Some players have enough UltimatePoints to get all these at once, but for most, we need to stack up the points before completing the christmas list at the UB store. Here’s four tips that can help you get the points and holiday shopping you want while at the tables:
DAYS OF DEALS: Every day a different deal. The deposit bonuses are good if you need to reload, but the key here is the daily promotion. No matter what you play, there’s a good deal and a chance at cash… Omaha, blackjack, sit n go’s, tournaments. And, for the christmas shopping, double points days in December. But, you gotta check every day because the calendar opens on a daily basis. BANNER17 won a flat screen TV this past WEdnesday, just for being at the blackjack tables.
FREE GEAR and CASH: Yesterday we announced the blogger tournament on the 17th. As it turns out, you don’t have to have a blog – or even know what it is – to get into the tournament. Just write down the code, play in the free tournament, and you can win SONY gear and a share of $100 cash.
POINTS RACE: Have some fun, play hard for your cut of $220,000, and those same status points that get you to the top of the leaderboard get multiplied by your RAI$E status for even more shopping.
RAI$E your status: When you simply MUST buy with cash, work your way up the RAI$E loyalty program. Get to ICON level and you can swap points for cash and get $1000 every month.
And, if you want a great deal, The Toshiba 50-inch TV is going for only 3,100 UltimatePoints at the UBauctions. That’s less than the points you need for a jacket at the store.
Want to help out? Any other tips to get more this holiday season?

We’d talked about setting up the blogger tourney. With the initial momentum of the UB blog it’s definitely time to get it going, so looks like the first one will be December 17th. Anyone interested in some free prizes? Want to make history and be a part of the first blogger tournament on UB?
–> December 17th – $100 prize pool plus entry into the GIZMO main event on December 19th for all final table players… GIZMO tourneys are coming to UB starting December 12th. They offer gear tournaments for UltimatePoints, from plasma screens to furniture, anything goes. For this first one it’ll include a SONY VAIO computer, SONY Blu Ray, a portable DVD player, and some UB gear.
Login to the UB client and look for the tournament in the client lobby, under the “Scheduled Tournaments” tab and then as a “Special” tournament. The tournament is called “UB Blog Tournament”
How to qualify?
Very easy. Just login before December 17th and use the password “UBblog” to register for the tournament. Tell your friends. They can use the password too. Check back on the blog for other free tournaments and upcoming blogger tournaments.
Easy enough. Not complicated and some good giveaways included. Great value for any poker player especially at the start with fewer people playing. And GIZMO’s, what can I say, brilliant. One week an HP touchscreen computer, another week a leather football-shaped chair.
What do you think?

L I O N wrote in about his experience with the UBauctions and the lessons from the pros…
Shawn Rice primarily focused on bankroll management. He advised me that if you build a bankroll at a level, that you need to move up in stakes in accordance with money management formulas. If you lose money and have to move back down in stakes, you still gain experience against better players which can only help you to improve as a player. I had never thought about that aspect. He also gave me guidelines for how much and how many times you should re-buy at cash games.
I focused on ring games with Shawn, and he was very helpful reviewing basic strategy, hand reading, and evaluating opponents. He gave me a few things I need to work on, some of it having to do with bankroll management, and table selection. Mark was very helpful to me in suggesting changes in my bet sizing in No Limit Ring games.
Mark focused on SNGs. He reviewed situational play in the SNGs, and he verified that in general that I am on the right track with my approach. He emphasized the importance of being aware of my position and stack size, and my opponents stack sizes and tendencies. Mark also discussed how to determine whether your stack has sufficient fold equity against your opponent’s stacks, and some ideas from when you should call an opponent’s bet when on the bubble. Mark also discussed the importance of finding out as much information as you can about your opponents. He also emphasized the importance of concentration and focusing while playing, and the importance of studying poker from videos, contact with good players, and disciplined practice.
Both Mark and Shawn are very knowledgeable players who communicate well and formulated their instruction to be appropriate to my ability and experience level.
I previously had a lesson with Gary Deebo who was also a very knowledgeable tournament player. It would be an excellent opportunity for a player of any skill level to take instruction from any of these three gentlemen.
Thanks,
L I O N
