Default You Ultimate Bet players......

I had never played there (for real anyway) and thought I would transfer some funds there to take advantage of some bonus dollars I had won during a freeroll some time ago and for the 20% bonus, I did that today and I am sure glad I never played there first or I may have quit playing altogether!! I am almost done clearing enough points to get my bonus released and have played over 125 hands and have yet to win one!!!! I am not joking!! I will still be up money because of the bonus $$'s but this sucks. Of all the hands that went to the river I would have hit a gutshot str8 2 times had I stayed with really rotten cards.

My question is how soon can I withdraw from this hell hole and how long will it take?

Also, how many hands do you have to play before you win one

LOL. I don't play hold em, so I can't answer your question regarding hands before a win.

You can cash out anytime you like, no minimum hand requirements that you speak of I am aware of. All points you earn at the table are immidiately converting your bonus dollars as soon as you log off that table.

Cash out is very quick, usually I get my funds the same day I request.

Can I have your points?

152 losing hands in a row and you were still in that seat????

Glad to hear your AA held up, and I echo everything Geoff said.....always have had speedy cashouts there and there are no hand requirements other than those that you are working on now for the bonus.

Good Luck

Yea, I know.

I was more worried about cash in and out in the same day, any experience there?

BTW--- I have cleared my bonus and am up a bit because of that, but down only $10 cash from getting these awful hands. Had AA cracked by JJ who hit his set and of course it was a kill pot

If I can get out today I will, but I am gonna play around, these cards have to turn, right????

Oh come on you know better than blaming the RNG for a bad run.

Default Big mistake on my part

Bonus is not even close to cleared, I thougth it was earn a point and we release a dollar at a time, it's earn 10 points and we release a dollar at a time, shit, I have found a new part time job it looks like, damn. This is gonna take a while I am afraid, ALWAYS read the stipulations carefully boys and girls.

Yeah, THAT is the worst part of UB, IMO. I have been chipping away at a stash of bonus dollars there for a while. If you are a good shorthanded player you can wait till a table opens up at 0/10 players. If you start a table you get double points that whole session. Goes a LITTLE quicker then

A $150 bonus could EASILY take 4000 hands to clear. I really wasn't looking for a part time job.

The key to getting these points is to be one of the first 2 players at the table. I cleared $100 in bonuses in roughly 70 hours, and that was playing .25/.50 tables. It really only took me about a month to do so.

Keep it tight on that site. Remember that you get points regardless of whether or not you contribute to the pot. So hope for lots of big points and trust me, the points will add up quite quickly.

They also have frequent 50% deposit bonuses, the best I've seen IMO, regardless of how you have to get those bonus points.

Was playing 1/2 and 2/4, but I might see if 3 tables of .50/1 moves this along quicker. Normally I play 3/6, but I am just trying to clear this bonus and move on.
