As some of you might have noticed there is a new 50-100 game on UB. IMO, the game isn't that tuff. In fact, once I have the bankroll I think I will take a shot. Why isn't it that tuff?
A. Players are consistently slowplaying hands like top set, bottom sets, and low straights without any backup.
B. They are very predictable when they hold aces.
C. Many players bet off their chips with marginal holdings.
D. I have seen many players just call with the nuts on the river. In fact, they are doing it when the pot is heads up.

There are some good players like parabola and the pharo, but I wonder if some of them could beat a 1-2 game.

don't know anything about that game but as I am sure you know- more money does not equal more skill

Converter doesn't work for UB.

This was a fun hand. Broke Joke is Mike Matasow btw, he got up to 72K and then donked off 20K w. 2 pair on consective hands.

He's brokejoke? I thought he was dillpickle.

Yeah, these people are jokes. Are you Mr. Jones? I ask, because they showed Mr. Jone's cards preflop, but nobody else's.

His new alias is broke joke....he needled devilfish after he lost a huge pot, fish went on tilt and responded w. this hand...(all in pf for 5K with 2QT9 is a sick gamble).

I see dill pickle playing 50-100 plo on ub now, so I guess he's not broke joke.

Dill Pickle on Pokerstars is supposedly Bill Gazes, he final tabled the main event of the World championship of online poker.

Good luck with getting in that game g w, just remember how much variance there is when people are pushing with 2369 or whatever.

When I played on UB, Dill Pickle was DEFINITELY Mike Matusow, FWIW.

Broke Joke is Mike Matasow still...i guarantee u will never see Broke Joke and Dill Pickle logged on @ the same time...or at least it was Matasow playing that account that night...I know his style of play and I assure u it was him.

I think hogbird and dumbanimal try to work together to push people out of the pot. (Call it collusion or being dumb...depends on how effective they are overall). However they shouldn't have done so with such trash PLO hands. Definitely isn't worth the risk for the $250 they are trying to steal.

Look at these limit hold 'em examples (taken from another forum):
