This might be an interesting one for some of the more adventurous of Blondes...

It seems that UB are giving away a seat to the WPT at Bellagio next year. You have to be in the first 10 to get 150.000 qualifying (whatever that means - careful reading of the ickle print I reckon) "UltimatePoints" - the package they are giving away is worth $28k - not to be sniffed at. You have to do this between the 06/12/05 and 06/04/06

If you aren't one of the 10 first to get to that lofty total, you can still be in with a chance apparently - the next 39 players will be entered into a freeroll for another seat.

This whole thing is probably value for a number of reasons ... one it's UB, so the competition is going to be weak - the package is good value, and if you end in the freeroll, it's not a bad field to get through for a chance of a seat.

Anyone gonna go for it?

All the things you have heard about  fish are true at UB - use our link to check it out, help Blonde, and help yourself Smiley   

Wotcher think?

So how do we accumulate points? Just by playing there?

I reckon you can do it by playing in their cash games, probably (can't say probs anymore) 25c-50c upwards..

They say "first to 150,000 points. Does this mean the "big boys" playing the 200-400 or whatever are bound to get the most points, or ir it based on playing TIME?

I reckon UB have a capped rake so the points can't go up that quick?

But I am not the seer of all .. any UB users out there?

Basically one point for every hour of play plus half a point for every raked hand and 6 for every $1 of tourney fee you pay.

Still fancy getting the 150,000 points?

It's not beneficial to play the big tables no.

They have UB Points tables, maybe you can go there to get your 150k?

The points tables are candy from babies.

You cannot accumulate the points for this promo from points tables only from playing and rake/tourny fees

the best way to make chips on UB is to play in the points tourneys and ring games.

Fourteen $200+15 SnG's a day will do the trick. Four tabling that's only about 3-4 hours a day. This would only get you into the freroll though.

Some whales without personal lives could achive the 150,000 quota inside a month. I'd estimate you'd need to achieve the total by mid January to get one of the seats without the freeroll.

I don't play as high as that, not when four tabling anyway, else I might give this a look.

Though wouldn't the rake hurt? not exactly free is it?
Is this in the wrong section?
