After work I sat down and decided to play a quick SnG on UB. It was just a 6 seated table and I ended up placing in the money at 2nd place. While playing, I noticed that a freeroll was starting at 6:15, so I signed up. The top 25 finishers (out of 2500 entered in the tournament) would get an entry in a tournament at the end of the month. The winner of that tournament would get a package and seat in the Aruba event of the World Poker Tour!
For the first hour of the tournament I played extremely tight, only seeing a total of 4 flops and not winning a single hand along the way. The 2nd hour paid me well and then it was up and down after that. Over 4 hours later, I’m still in the tournament and trying to survive. Only 50 left, 45, 40. People kept dropping out and I was still hanging around. I couldn’t get a single hand near the end, so the blinds and antes ate me alive. I ended up finishing in 27th place, just 2 away from placing in the top 25! It sucked, but 27th out of 2500 is pretty damn good for my first tournament that size!

Have you ever tried to cash out any real money from UB. I haven’t had any luck winning on UB but I was able to place 2nd in a $1000 gauranteed payout on Fabulous Poker. It payed $277.50. I feel like they are making me jump through hoops to get paid actual money. They want a copy of both sides of your credit card.( I used FirePay, no credit card), Picture ID, Copy of most recent Credit Card bill with current mailing address or Bank statement showing the electronic fund transfer.
I didn’t need all that when they gladly took my money.
Sorry just my moment to rant.
I’ll send you the e-mail they sent me.

That sucks! No, I haven’t had the luxury of building up a big enough bankroll to cash out. I deposited $50 months ago when I started playing and am up to somewhere around $200. As my bankroll increases, I try out the higher limit tables.
