What does this mean for UB? Should I be nervous about it's stability?

This is just a guess but I'm pretty sure Phil Hellmuth loses very little money from non poker gambling.

Ub is either giving up trying to aquire market share against the big names or they are in a downward spiral toward financial ruin.

What has UB done recently?
1. Chopped 20% of MGR from all US player rakeback
2. Moved away from dealt hand rake calculation
3. Lowered the frequency and value of their deposit bonus
4. Begun banning "bonus abusers"
5. Stopped sponsorship program
6. Player population continues to decline

It's not exactly the picture of health.

dont forget they brutally increased rake. doubling it hu. increasing it 4x 3way (for limits 15/30 and below.) also they take it at 20/40/60 at all stakes so every pot is max raked now. also, for 80/160+ they increased the max to 5 from 3.

ub used to have best rake and now its the worst. its same structure as absolute btw.

This just goes to show that if UB, AP, PP, FTP, PS & everybody else would have ponied up a few bucks to drop in a certain policitian's pocket a few months back....they wouldn't be hip deep in sh*t right now. OK, rant over.
