One of the reasons that so many players today are involved exclusively in sit and go tournaments online is based on the fact that you earn player points rather quickly. When you consider how many you can play in a single hour, you quickly realize that the profit your making from the games is nearly foreshadowed by the points your racking up. Because of this, its rare for a site to offer bonus points for sit n go’s but Ultimate Bet is bucking traditional logic and giving its players a chance to earn double points for a full 48 hours from September 18th-19th.
For those of you that play exclusively on Pokerstars or Full Tilt this looks like quite the opportunity for you to delve into one of the other highly successful sites online. Ultimate Bet (or is it UB Poker now?) has been around for quite a while, and although they are not as popular as Full Tilt or Pokerstars, they certainly hold their own. With this promotion you can also expect that their will be many less seasoned players at the table trying to take advantage of the bonus, which means more money in your pocket!
For those of you who may prefer multi table tournaments, or poker cash games it doesent look like you will get any sort of perk like this for the time being so it may be in your best interest to sharpen up on your sit and go skills as soon as possible. I personally have played several hundred sit and go’s in the past, and have always enjoyed the competition that goes with competing against just 8 other people, for a top 3 spot (in a nine man sit and go).
For those of you who are wary of the prizes you can get from this promotion, be sure to check out the UB shop, because I am sure you will find something to purchase. Whether it be a jacket, mp3 player, television, or one of their more luxurious items their is most definitely something for everyone in the store. I have not played poker to recently, but I think this is a perfect opportunity for me to sharpen up my skills and hit the virtual felts this weekend. I hope you do the same.
See you at the tables!
