Intelligent responses only: Why all the AP and UB hatred?
I've been a player on AP for about a year and a half and i just signed onto UB to take advantage of their initial deposit bonus... I've had success on both sites, i've never had a cash out or deposit problem, and i've never felt victimized by the support staff or by collusion from players.
Someone please explain to me why everyone thinks these sites suck |

Re: Intelligent responses only: Why all the AP and UB hatred?
AP's security was almost certainly compromised by a set of "superuser" accounts who could see the hole cards of high-limit players, netting hundreds of thousands of dollars of winnings from innocent players on the site, many of them 2+2'ers. AP and UB have a long-standing history of terrible cashout problems, random and unnecessary security locks, giving out players' identities to unauthorized individuals at the drop of a hat (see also: yellowsub/limitninja), bad game selection for various reasons that I can't mention, and constantly going back on their words about bonuses, promotions, and rakeback pay.
Does that answer it for you? |

Re: Intelligent responses only: Why all the AP and UB hatred?
I left UB went they broke their hand histories on purpose so they wouldn't work with Poker Tracker.
This was about two bonus system changes ago, when I was making maybe $1 an hour per micro table. Now I hear it's even worse. They had bonus all the time, and the earning system was sweet (instant, leave the table it's there), but it I had so much bonus saved up that it was going to take me forever to clear it. Around that time, I had noticed that there weren't that many Omaha 8 games going at the stakes I was playing, and there were quite a few more at Stars and/or Full Tilt. So I left, and I haven't been back. I'd look to see how much pending bonus money I have on there, but I don't want to encourage them by installing their software on any of my boxen, which are all new since then and haven't had it on there. |

Ultimate Bet: troubles collecting hand histories; fast for multitabling fixed limit, but quite bad for multitabling no limit; difficult to make graphics skins; fubar software upgrades; repeated changes that hurt players financially, such as rake changes, bonus terms, and rakeback terms/rates.
Absolute Poker: repeated changes that hurt players financially, such as rake changes, bonus terms, and rakeback terms/rates; slow software (but not slower than Poker Stars); squeezing out of prop players and affiliates; major cheating scandal. Both site's software seems to be stagnating - at least none of the changes are for benefit of the players. Although I think the Absolute software is still one of the best in the industry except for the hand playing speed. Now we have the BBJ tables, which is another rake increase. |
