More Reasons to Show Down the Royal Flush!
Ultimate Bet is one of the best Mac poker sites for PLO. They have a new Royal Flush promotion that is similar to a bad beat jackpot. They made a progressive Royal Flush Jackpot, and players that hit royal flushes receive a cash bonus. It is nice to hit the best hand in poker, but it is even nicer to hit it when there is extra cash involved. If you are familiar with a Lucky Ace Poker download, you...

Tournament Leaderboard
If you are interested in the best Mac poker sites, chances are you will probably want to play tournaments. In this case, it would be good to know about UB’s tournament leaderboards. There is one big MTT leaderboard and three smaller SnG leaderboards, and each one has cash prizes to be won. Like on other Mac poker sites, you will be ranked based on a points total. When you play a tournament, you...

Adam Levy
People looking to play poker on the best Mac poker sites will be considering UB, so it would be good to meet another UB advocate in Adam Levy. Levy will be better known to online players as “Roothlus” because that is the name he uses on the best US poker sites. The 28 year old player was born in Flushing, New York and he currently lives in Orlando, Florida. He was a student working a job as a...

Brandon Cantu
Brandon Cantu is another professional player that would suggest that you support online casinos for USA players by playing at UB.com. After Cantu learned to play poker in Washington from his grandfather, he played in casinos in Oregon. It makes sense that he now lives in Vegas since he is close to US poker rooms there.
The decision to go pro came four years ago in Vegas after winning a bracelet...
Tiffany Michelle

Michelle has only been playing professionally for around four years, but being attractive and participating in the World Series has caused her to turn heads in the poker community.

Joe Sebok
To continue with the theme of writing about Team UB, my entry will mention Joe Sebok, a professional poker player that also supports a UB referral code. There’s a chance you might not know Sebok, but you should almost certainly recognize his stepfather, Barry Greenstein. Originally from San Francisco, Sebok started playing professionally around five years ago. He’s been encouraging the UB referral...
Annie Duke
When I wrote last time, I told you about Phil Hellmuth because he helps promote UB and the UB referral code, and now I’m about to write about Annie Duke, another UB spokesperson. One of the most famous female poker pros around today, Duke received a WSOP bracelet in 2004 in an Omaha Hi-Low tournament. You’ll probably know her brother, Howard Lederer. Duke grew up with Lederer in New Hampshire, and...

The Poker Brat
One high profile professional poker player that would favor a UB referral code over others would be Phil Hellmuth, a UB representative that has gained and kept fame due to his World Series of Poker accomplishments and outbursts at the tables. Hellmuth was the first of five children, born in 1964 in Wisconsin where he also attended university. Hellmuth married his wife, Kathy, and they moved to...
WSOP 2010 with UB
To encourage as many people as possible to use a UB referral code and make a deposit, those intending to play in this year’s World Series of Poker (WSOP) can receive an exclusive UB bonus if they can win their way into the event via UB. This isn’t like the standard bonus that requires a UB referral code, though. If you can win your way into the Main Event by playing Sit N’ Go’s (SnGs) or...

UBOC
So far in my articles we’ve talked about the benefits of a UB download, the UB referral code, how to clear the bonus, and information about RAI$E, their VIP program. In this article I will discuss the tournaments hosted by UB, particularly the UB Online Championship (UBOC) series. The fourth UBOC was hosted earlier this year, featuring 12 days and 18 events.
The people that discovered UB before...
RAI$E details
Today I intend to offer details on UB’s VIP program. I’ve already stated that you earn Status Points to clear your bonus after you use your UB referral code, but you’ll also have the chance to turn them into fantastic prizes since UB implemented the RAI$E program. Altogether there are a total of five VIP levels and the highest levels receive the best rewards. You don’t need to do anything to join...

Info about the UB Bonus
In my last entry, I provided an overview of one of the legal US poker sites, UB. I discussed their player traffic and rewards program, but probably most significantly, I introduced the UB referral code. You need to have a UB referral code because that way you can grind out a helpful deposit bonus. The following entry will discuss how to clear this bonus because while it’s nice to think...
UB Overview
UB, formerly known as Ultimate Bet, is part of the CEREUS Poker Network and features Phil Hellmuth and Annie Duke. While it’s true that UB doesn’t get nearly as much traffic as PokerStars or Full Tilt, some players think that its smaller player base has a bigger fraction of poor players and soft games. Therefore if you’re thinking of playing some games at small or mid stakes and...
