  1. I just received this email from ultimate bet. I was wondering if anyone knew the reason behind the make up freerollJust a reminder that you have been registered for our UBOC Event #5 Make Up Freeroll being held on Tuesday, December 19th at 8 PM ET. This is a tournament only for those players who played in the UBOC Omaha 8 or Better Event on December 5.Remember - you'll be playing for an awesome WSOP prize package valued at $12,000 ($10,000 buy-in and $2,000 for travel and accommodations)!

  4. I've really gotta wonder what it would've taken you people to be happy.  Because...wow...you're being pretty ungreatful.  This was definately worth the buildup.  If you don't like it, well, there's the door, I suppose.  The forums slow because there's so many people on here checking out the new site and the new features and everything else.  It will speed up soon enough.  What Daniel has done here is incredible and he has done all of this for you guys without it costing you a penny.  Not ONE PENNY.  You should all be ashamed of yourselves.
    I see where you're coming from, and I'm not knocking DN or the people who help run this site, but as much as I respect DN and what he's done with these forums it's a little naive to believe this is all coming from the bottom of his heart.He's opening a pokeroom and AUTOMATICALLY gets a thousand or so DEDICATED players on his site, and gets a bunch of free publicity through it. Look at how much Full Tilt has poneyed up in advertising, how much do you think they would pay for DN's name and forum contacts?The money/prizes he's putting up are great, but probably amount to much less than what Full Tilt had to spend to get the number of dedicated players DN is getting by making FCP a pokerroom (and let's not forget that it's a skin... if you're telling me there's not a decent cut in there for him... lol.. let's just say I'd be really shocked).This is financially +EV for DN, and now that he expects to take the forum member's money, they have a right to question the product they're paying rake and entry fees for.
    Yeah, it's probably +EV for Daniel, but you know what? He's probably going to use most, if not all, of that money to sponsor other fun times for the forum such as Weekend with Daniel 2, all of the protege contests (there will be more than one), the next WSOP contest, and many other contests. There are also costs to updating and maintaining the website along with probably having to pay the website designer.Also, he's probably opening the poker room on the PR network so that it doesn't flop like PokerMountain did. Do you really want to play on a site that has 1000 players? Let's be honest, how long will that last? It took Full Tilt quite a few years to get 10,000 players and they're still only the 4th most popular site on the net. Doing something like this, and having a good say in what will happen in the future, shows the vision that Daniel has for this community and this poker site.Finally, to everyone, please remember that we're about 5 hours into the relaunch. 5 HOURS! Do you really expect it to be perfect immediately? Give us time to work out the kinks before you trash it.
    I guess custom is now on team dn now. how much salary do you get. sw
  5. I started playing online jan 04. At that time I deposit 25.00 and grinded it out to about 750 at its highest pt. since then its dropped down some after some attempts at different limts (before I was ready). My br could also be larger but after placing 13 out of 392 in 200 buy in in the omaha 8/b at The Orleans poker open in vegas, i used the cash for my trip. I now realize I should of paid for the trip like I plan to and added the $ to my bankroll. My goal is to multitable 5/10 omaha 8/b.

  6. I currently play limit omaha 8/B games on ultimate bet. Because of the lack of tables to choose during the day, I am going to start an account at another site. Partypoker seems like the best choice because of the traffic volume and their multisizing tables beta version. The problems is I want to start getting rakeback and I believe party doesnt offer. Is there any sites (possible skins) that I could sign up under to get rakeback and let me resize tables (not a main concern but would be a plus).Thanks in advance,mjb268
