Commencing complete withdrawal from UB now . . .

Eh, not so much now, looks like they'll survive. I am, however, going to finish this bonus and then GTFO. Another reason I'm sour on UB is because all the decent tables are BBJ now. But at least when it hits, everyone at those stakes gets paid in addition to everyone at that table.

So with the BBJ at a record $415K+, I decided to spread my exposure by running one table of 2/4, one table of 1/2, and then shortstack 50NL and 100NL.

I don't see what the big deal is about NL . . .

And then after that it was all downhill. I got stacked FIVE TIMES at 100NL (granted, those were all for $20 since I was minstacking, so it's only like getting stacked once), and three of them were awful. First, I got AQ all in vs. J9 on a QJx flop and Villain hit a Jack on the river; then AA vs. KK was no good all-in preflop when another Villain flopped a set; then AQ again fell to the first Villain when his my top pair of Q's lost to his QT when he made a running club flush.

BBJ's now at $432K and counting, so anyone with some mobnies left on UB, get in on that.
