We are a few weeks into 2011 already – how time flies. If you want play on US friendly poker sites in the New Year, definitely consider UB because UBOC 6 is rapidly approaching. Included in 2011’s UB Online Championship is 29 events including the $1 million Championship Event and a $750k High Roller event. Winning one of the events nets you a special UBOC watch, and there is even a Tournament of Champions for the winners of UBOC 2010. If you were planning on trying flash Texas Holdem, now is definitely the time!
Everything got started on January 16th with a No Limit Hold’em Deep Stack event for $500+$30. Those that watched a poker video to improve at Omaha were able to put themselves to the test yesterday in the first Omaha event. If you are best at heads-up games, you have Event 13 to look forward to, but register as soon as possible because it won’t be possible to register late for this tourney.
For those with huge bankrolls, the High Roller tournament is on January 23rd for $2.1k. The Championship Event is on January 30th and features a $1,050 buy-in. If you are inexperienced on the best US poker sites and don’t want to commit to these stakes, you can opt to play satellites. The satellites start as low as 10 cents!
Another solution for those new to the top Texas Holdem sites is Mini-UBOC. Mini-UBOC mirrors the UBOC events but the stakes are a fraction of the size. While you won’t win a special watch, the prize pools will be large and the excitement of a final table will be there in spades!
A lot of people have been waiting extremely impatiently for UBOC 6 to finally come around, so be sure to take advantage of it. If you have an Apple laptop, you do not have to worry since they made Ultimate Bet for Mac. Good luck winning one of those championship watches!
