Ultimate Bet - Pros and Cons

[tradenine]

I'm thinking about signing up with Ultimate Bet, but I've read numerous comments on forums recently saying that UB has many flaws. I was wondering exactly what these flaws are, what people's general experience is with UB, and what the pros and cons are of using that site. Any information would be appreciated.

(I did not search this topic as I'd like to get a fresh/current analysis of this subject. I apologize if this thread is redundant.)

LOL good point. I like both rooms, bonus doesnt mean much since this is your first online experience you wont make it through 50$ of it. GL

Pros:

1)Their mtt structure is very good
2) Software is pretty good
3) Sngs and mtts are pretty soft (that's all I play on UB)
4) Rakeback and decent deposit bonuses.

Cons:

1) Not alot of traffic.
2) You can't resize the tables, although you can have miniview or whatever they call it.

there's very little PLO traffic and unless things have changed from a few months ago the tables steal focus from one another which makes typing in bet sizes/chatting a pain. You need to use GT+ instead of PAHUD also if you don't want the hand history windows to steal focus as well.

the games were pretty soft though, at least during Euro hours.

Pros:

1. Soft games.
2. Fastest software, by far.
3. Rakeback + just about neverending bonuses and weekly points for cash program.

Cons:

1. Few games running.
2. Very poor bonus clearance rates and points for cash program made impractical unless you play limit, and lots of it.
3. Impossible to take notes or chat while multitabling. Everytime an action is available at a table, it steals focus.
4. Every once in a while the site decides to do really dumb things like make it impossible to get hand histories. They usually fix it after a couple of weeks, but it's always annoying in the short term.

*I quit playing there a few months ago, things may have changed.
