Get paid to play at UltimateBet by getting max comps, read below.
A very long time ago in a far away land I used to do some consulting work for UltimateBet. Those were the heyday’s of online poker, all of the things everyone has come to expect with online poker didn’t exist in those days. There are 2 things though that make a difference to players today, resizable tables (so you can play multiple tables and see them all) and saving hand histories to disk (so you can import them into a tracking system that will help you analyze your play). If you want to be good at online poker these are important. For various reasons UB was late to the party on some of these but not any longer. I have long contended that UB’s software is the best out there, I believe totally but certainly on speed. UB is the fastest and cleanest interface there is which is partly why they didn’t want additional things to slow down their client.
One thing most people don’t think of when it comes to resizable tables is going bigger. I usually only play 1 or 2 games so I tend to bring the tables to full screen. If I am playing bigger stakes it allows me to focus, not to mention that my monitor is not a computer monitor, it is a television and it is not as close to me as a computer monitor would be. At full screen the UB tables are super clear and the action stayed fast.
I know that Brandon was writing an article on Poker Prospector from Poker Academy. Both of us have been using it lately, it is the evolution of Poker Tracker. The imports work like a charm and the data you can access is unbelievable. Adding the UB Hand History file was a snap and UB even gives you instructions on how to do it.
I am likely going to be writing an article soon on comps from UB but if you don’t have an UltimateBet account this may be a good time to get one. Signing up through this link gets you 30% of your rake back (similar to casino comps).
