Default Tight / Agreesive UB

You've probably heard that Ultimate Bet is one of the tightest sites around along with Poker Stars and it's hard to win there. Well, recently I would agree that it is tight, although I've had good success there.

I haven't played there for a couple of week though because I'm working off a bonus at Absolute. However, Absolute was down for maintenace this morning so I checked out UB and the $3/$6 tables. I sat down at a full game and was amased to see the flop percentage was 51% !!!! Normally UB, is around 25-30%.

Not only were there loads of maniacs playing any 2 suited card, connected cards, any high card (Axo, Kxo etc), but they were hitting constantly.

I sat there and watched quite a few people come and go moaning on their way that their AKs had been called and beaten by the idiot playing 24o and catching his straight !!!

I started with $300. Very quickly I was down to $180 !!! Oh no, all my hard work recently going down the drain. I decided to continue what I was doing and see what could happen knowing that if I could hit at some stage I could win a large pot. But, my AQs weren't hitting and were being beaten by a pair of 2's etc.

Then, I won a few pots and was back up to $250. Should I leave now? Nah !!!

I got KK UTG. I raise. 6 players saw the flop !!!! 6 !!!! Anyway, the flop came all rags but 2 suited. I bet, was raised, I reraised, it was capped. Bugger. Someone has hit 2 pair or something. I needed a K. The turn brought another rag. It was checked around. Now that was confusing. The river brought a Q. The guy who capped the betting on the flop bet. I had to call.

He turned over Q9s for 1 pair of Queens and had capped the betting on the flop with the Q high flush draw !!!

So now I'm about $50 up. I was going to leave but couldn't sit out quickly enough. I got dealt TT. I raised and a LP 3-bet. I think 4 people saw the flop. All below 10 so I bet out. All called then the LP raised. I put him on a higher pair than me but couldn't be sure. I called, as did everyone else.

The turn came and brought my lovely 10 !! I check raised the LP player who 3- bet and I capped. This time it was only us and 1 other player. The river brought an 8. I bet and both called. The LP had pocet Aces and the other player had a par of 4's, which was the lowest card on the board !!!

The pot was over $150 and I ended the session $148 up !!!

Not as tight as I thought. Well, at least not at that table.

yeah it was. Although, it was actually while I was at work !!! shhh, don't tell the boss. It did mean that I didn't have to play tonight which has been great as I've been tired and didn't really feel like it.

Having spoken to some other people they've also said that UB is becoming looser, which if true will be great as it's by far the best site software and speed wise on the net. It's only drawback is the play is a little too tight so winning becomes a little harder there.

That is how i feel about poker stars every hand that hits someone else has a better draw and usually makes it. Anytime u get connectors i would play majority of the time they hit. The worst i have seen was in heads up when i had pocket Qs flop came trip 8s now in any normal game you bet small and suck the other guy in. I was reraised all in. Now i am thinking what are the odds he has Ks As or that 8 slim to known. So i call and of course he had the 8. Biggest upset i have seen on the site thus far.

I only have a very small account on poker stars so i play at some of the small stake tables. I have always been a tight player, so, of course, i'm going to continue to play tight and conservative. It is crazy how all of these people bet, raise, call, whatever with little to nothing. Most of the times I do lose with my nice pocket hands to horrible pocket hands that seem to hit every time. I am kinda like you though, I started off with $1 in my account and now i have close to $10. I know this doesnt sound like much to anyone, but it is fun for me to play with and i treat it as if it were much more money. congrats on the money gain.
