My tiny review of Ultimate Bet

[Penguinfan]

After playing there for about a week and maybe 35 hours I have to say that they have some really nice things there, and some really average things there. I went there simply for the bonus which takes a while to clear, but can be done profitably, this I am sure of. The SNG games are a bit tighter than other sites which I think leads to a bit of a more agressive strategy needed to win these games, that I like alot. The players in the low limit cash cames are average to horrible to downright charitable, I have never in my life called a hand on the river with Jack hi, but I did here once and won the hand against a guy who was just giving chips away, apparently people still think you can just buy pots at low limit tables and that is just not the case. Now in this example we had got a decent pot built, got to heads up on the river and I missed all my draws (open ended str8 flush draw) but he only had .25 left at this point and I wasn't folding a $20+ pot for a quarter and turns out Jack Hi was a monster against this guy, go figure. Anyway I really like the fact you can use Ultimate points to buy into cash tourneys or tourneys where they give you TEC chips for the $100+9 games, you can also use them to get into Ultimate Point SNG games where they pay out the entire entry pool in Ultimate Points. These games are incredibly soft! I won 2 of them yesterday, both 200 point entry which got me 1000 each in return, at that rate you can have enough points to play in some nice cash tourneys in no time.
Anyone play in the $100+9, how are those games?

I don't like the player stats, they aren't as detailed as Stars, which I think are the best, I still haven't stumbled around enough to find how to request hand histories, and the multi tourneys don't have near the number of players as Party or Stars. I did have some connection problems this week and I have never had them with Party or Stars, but it's possible that is on my end and not theirs. I am still stalking the player who is playing as Phil Hellmuth and I'll let you know when I find him.

Overall I like the place and it was worth playing for the 20% bonus, it won't become my favorite place to play, but I will probably stick around. I haven't requested a cashout yet, if there are any problems I will let you know.

Thoughts?
