Ultimate bet have just announced that they are still looking for another two lucky poker players to win the very very last two spaces on there channel 5 show!

this is defo the last two and they will appear on the second last and last shows in the series, with the highest prize money up for grabs so far!

Freeroles are everynight from 8:20pm(as per before), with top 10 going through again!

there are 20 freeroles, therefore there will be 200 runners in the one and only final on Sept 13th, with top 2 finishers going through to film down in London on sept 17th and 18th!

First place finisher, will go through to show 8, with chance to win £10,000

second place finisher, will go through to show 7, with a chance to win £7,500!

Please note this is double the amount that has been up for grabs before, as its the final two shows!

For full details please check out the www.ultimatebet.com


==============================

It would be good if we all tried this out this time, and get a few blondites in the final for a Live update?

PS yous know this is not spam!

Just think its a great comp for a good laugh etc

Play in what sorry? The freerolls?

you must win a freerole in order to get to the final, you cannot buy-in to the final, freerole access only!


Title: Re: ultimatebet channel5 freeroll....again!!!!!!
Post by: stoo on August 24, 2005, 11:19:01 PM
O I understand that sorry, was just wandering if he was refering to the freerolls.
Tired..

I might give it a bash.


Title: Re: ultimatebet channel5 freeroll....again!!!!!!
Post by: ifm on August 24, 2005, 11:22:46 PM
Yes mate, the thing is you usually get 7 or 8 non eligible players on each table-usually yanks who don't realise they can't actually qualify as it's top 10 Brits only.
This then turns into a slagging match (2 Brits against a few gobby yanks) then they say they just wanted to knock out limeys.
Then it's a total crapshoot cuz once they know they can't win and we've wound them up they tend to call/raise any bet with absolutely any 2 cards..........see the last thread about the AK called by 7 3 off!!
So, is a 500 raise with JJ wrong?
Yes i suppose, if i go allin i get called by at least 3 yanks BIG TROUBLE, if i flat call i'm probably facing an allin raise anyway so i decided to take the initiative and hope not to get reraised, if i hit i get plenty if not i lost a 3rd of my chips and i carry on.
Ian

Thanks to BOTH of you  ;D ;D

I followed the link and it talks only of the 6 shows, I wonder if ub could run a card game in a card room!


Title: Re: ultimatebet channel5 freeroll....again!!!!!!
Post by: ifm on August 25, 2005, 12:02:47 AM
on that page on the right:-

"The online winner will be the sixth player at the table for Shows 2 through 8"
it does say somewhere there are 9 though i trawled thru it for ages, i actually found this site thru channel 5's cuz there was no reference on ultimatebet ??? is ultimatebet different from ultimate poker?
It is a complete mess though


Title: Re: ultimatebet channel5 freeroll....again!!!!!!
Post by: Scottish Dave on August 25, 2005, 07:24:20 AM
i got sent an email regarding shows 7 and 8, thats how i know!

i think show 9 is the big finale for the 5 regular 'Virgins' there calling them, as thats the prize money show where they could win up to £100,000

Shows 2 - 8 are the shows that give the online winners the chance to take some of the money away from the £100,000 kitty!


Title: Re: ultimatebet channel5 freeroll....again!!!!!!
Post by: Robert HM on August 25, 2005, 01:46:09 PM
I have got my email now. I see the pro on the last few progs is, carrying on the theme of gobby yanks above, is Phil Helmuth.

Post by: Nakor on August 25, 2005, 08:35:54 PM
Well played Robert.
I better deposit and increase my charitable work.

Just happened to notice your Alias in a previous thread, always seems a shame to waste them.

Do you find UB a good site?  Always been a Prima/Lads boy, is UB worth investing the time in? (I play mainly 1/2 fixed, upto $30 SnG's, and upto $20 multi's and love sats).

Some software reviews from you boys who have been around a bit would be appreciated.


Title: Re: ultimatebet channel5 freeroll....again!!!!!!
Post by: Robert HM on August 25, 2005, 08:39:47 PM
The only reason I came onto ub was for the C5 prog. Not impressed with the set up of this tourney, it could have been restricted but wasn't. Others would be able to give a better picture.

As for tonight, septic went all in about 3 times on the trot, I picked up Ace with something huge as a kicker, don't ask, he had pocket Jacks and I they held up. Like my Ace, I lost my rag.


Title: Re: ultimatebet channel5 freeroll....again!!!!!!
Post by: neeko on August 25, 2005, 08:50:22 PM
I like the SNG's - 10 min levels rather than 10 hands per level.

Playing the cash games 8 - 9am weekend mornings are lively, loads of Americans still drinking whilst playing.

The high limit cash games are good to watch, Mike Matusow, Phil Ivey and Prahlad Friedman (sp) are often there.



Title: Re: ultimatebet channel5 freeroll....again!!!!!!
Post by: Nakor on August 25, 2005, 09:03:07 PM
Alas my first experience of UB is over. I was ahead and then I wasn't anymore, sadly I couldn't get the chips out of the pot.

Thanks for the info neeko, will have a go at the SnG's over the weekend, and keep my eyes open for those drunken yanks.

good luck to whomever is left in.


Title: Re: ultimatebet channel5 freeroll....again!!!!!!
Post by: Robert HM on August 26, 2005, 12:10:48 AM
12 brits left, 4 others. Others hold 2 places in top 10, dan is 9th, therefore without yanks he would be 7th. Go dan!
