Anyone know any links that discuss perfect strategy? Anyone know how many decks UB uses, and what the penetration is?

6 decks shuffled every hand.

what about the live events? I'm going down to aruba for the 5k tournament UB is hosting at the end of sept. and I'm fairly certain the satellite winners get to play a free roll for a UBT (Ultimate Blackjack Tour...gag) event. I'd be interested in the strategy and format of these events. Why pass up free equity.

check out wong's tournament book for strategy.

generally online casinos shuffle after every hand, so counting is worthless

There is no reason that UB has to shuffle after every hand in a tournament, except to remain uniform with their cash games (which shuffle after every hand to protect the house). Counting is a skill that UB might be encouraging within tournaments, but since the penetration & deck count doesn't seem to be listed anywhere I cannot tell.

This sounds like fun. A good change of pace from poker.
