US Poker Blog

Tournament players waited all year for 2010 to end! If one of your New Year’s resolutions is to use US friendly poker sites, you are in luck because it is time for UBOC 6. The UB Online Championship for 2011 has 29 exciting events including the Championship Event with a $1 million guaranteed prize pool. Winning one of the events nets you a special UBOC watch, and if you won an event during UBOC 5, you will be invited to the Tournament of Champions! If you were planning on trying flash Texas Holdem, now is definitely the time!

Everything got started on January 16th with a NL Texas Holdem Deep Stack event for $500+$30. If you recently watched a poker video regarding Omaha and were itching to put your new knowledge to use, you didn’t have to wait long since the first PLO event was yesterday. If you like heads-up, you have Event 13 to look forward to, but do keep in mind that there is no late registration for this tournament.

For those with huge bankrolls, the High Roller tournament is on January 23rd for $2.1k. The Championship Event features the biggest guaranteed prize pool, however: $1 million. The buy-in for this tournament is $1,050. If you are inexperienced on the best US poker sites and don’t want to commit to these stakes, you can opt to play satellites. The satellites start as low as 10 cents!

The other option for those new to the top Texas Holdem sites is Mini-UBOC. This series mirrors the UBOC events but it features much smaller buy-ins. Obviously the prize pools will be much smaller as well, but first place in all the events will still be a handsome addition to your bankroll!

We have been waiting all year for UBOC to come around again, so don’t let this opportunity slip away. If you have an Apple desktop, you are in luck since you can get Ultimate Bet for Mac. Have fun chasing a UBOC watch!
