Default Time to leave Ultimate Bet?

It's time to get the hell outta dodge.

First, they began charging US players a portion of their rakeback, which sucks.

Second, their bad beat jackpot tables take away 50 cents from every raked hand, which sucks.

Third, 90%+ of the tables at my limit are bad bead jackpot tables, which sucks rhino.

Fourth, they have very fast software and poker ace prefetching, which attracts the talented amateurs, which sucks.

Fifth, they are (or at least were back when I was a member) prominently featured in the cardrunners website, which attracts talented amateurs to come over to UB, which sucks.

Is it just me or has UB just gone totally downhill in recent days?

Haha well I was just holding on and hoping that UB would get better, after all its the ONLY site for which i have rakeback. The BBJ tables were the last straw, more like 500 last straws all at once.

You know that the majority of poker sites have bet pot buttons right?

No, the player base is pretty weak nowadays...there are still a lot of rocks though.

What's weird is that they've basically imploded. They did it to themselves for sure.
