Another thing that hasn't been mentioned is that rat holing is allowed. People can leave table and come right back 10 seconds later with lower amount, just saw a guy do it.

Does anybody else find the dealer button position tilting as hell on the cash tables? From most seats the button's bets are placed past the button making him look like the small blind.

Luckily I can let that slide without tilting, mainly because I have so many other features or lack there of to keep me on tilt. lol

they can't play until they get one. this was already asked and answered

Beating me? He never beat me, do a better job of reading posts. Calling people "fish" as a general statement is a 2p2 thread is a little different than doing what he was doing.

That happened on a table I was on, as well. A maniac went on a heater and left when they were up 4 times their buy in and sat right back down with the min buy in.

I guess the no VIP thing makes sense when they have no competition. What's the point of giving back rake right now? Once they get competition I'd imagine it'll change.

Flopoholic, right?

No, I play limit hold em, and it was the lowest stakes. Name started with a L.

Truly indicative of a low budget site.

Meh it's already short-stacked pokers, this issue can slide for a bit Imo.
Not tilting, but I've been slightly confused more than once.
Dax said all promos, comps, & alike will be retroactive & distributed fairly across the board. He & scotty also mentioned that there will be points/comp system in place some time later this year.
No frills, no gimmicks, just regulated US online poker v0.01.

Does anyone else think that their "very few moving parts" software is likely what got them 1st to market?

Customers don't just "not" have cellphones....everyone has one. My 93 yr old aunt is the only person left in the U.S. without one, but she'll come around soon.

Yes, that and the fact that they developed the software themselves. They would have probably been better off partnering with someone who already had good working software. It will be interesting to see what the next one coming online (WSOP.com??) will be like.

My only suggestion is that you guys at UP might be surprised to find that some low-budget tourney players would enjoy a better structure than just hyper-turbos. Even freerollers looking to get a staycation package enjoy a good game of poker sometimes, not just the all-in luckfests that you've designed.

They bought a company that had working feature rich software, & released a barebones version of it to pass testing Asap Imo. The good news is that it can only improve :-)

Maybe you weren't around pre-UIGEA. If poker takes off again, you're just going to have to get used to this. You won't believe how much ridiculous chatter you see going on at the tables. You'll be too busy rolling around in money to care, anyway.

Agreed ..........Yeah I don't/won't play turbos. Must be others like me.

yeah the only really good tournies are the ones that are NOT holdem, and the double or nothing sngs. whichever site is willing to offer those, will end up getting all the online business because those were so popular and so great for grinding up a small roll because other players werent smart enough to understand how to adjust and instead would badmouth the game.

I hope the comps comes sooner than later.
that $8.99 lunch buffet at GVR is awesome. and isn't it half price on wednesdays.
they have a theater at GVR so movies will be free..bowling too, although I don't bowl.
when southpoint gets up and running, I will play on their site too.
there are 5 or 6 really good restaurants there.michaels. don vitos. hell the 24 hour café has steak and eggs for $3.99 after midnite. there is awaiting line of 10-30 people most nites from midnite to 3 am..steak and shake is awesome just for a quick lunch.
don't get me started about the rio..man $39.95 for a 24 hour pass to their buffet.
go there at 7 pm, eat a great dinner, come back for breakfast or early lunch the next morning,and then another dinner the next nite.
its pays to be an online grinder in vegas

Is it true that Iovation, the company that was used to fleece UB, is now involved in Ultimate Poker?

As has been stated several times in this tread. Iovation is one of only 2 companies licensed by the NVGB to provide age and identity verification. Iovation has no access to any player information, servers, software or any other part of the game itself. it is only used to verify that you are who you say you are and that you are over 21 years old. This is done by comparing your SS number, and the address you input to verifiable addresses for you in the database.

I agree that the ratholing needs to be fixed. I am talking about fish with 100bb stacks that I want. I regularly am playing with my big stack and don't rathole why should this be allowed for others?

3 days, as required by Nevada regulations, but we're trying to find a workaround (putting them on our website somewhere).

We haven't had a software update, yet, but that won't be normal operating procedure.

You can get another PIN for a variety of reasons, but the most common is if you request a cashout.

Never post, but thought this might be a good time:

- The two reps for UP that have been fielding questions have done a great job. It would be nice if some 2p2'ers actually read through the thread before asking some of the redundant questions. I'm sure these guys are busy.

- Me: Have Verizon/Cox, had to buy an ATT burner. Once I had the phone, I was verified instantly. No ID check, etc. Snap funded via ACH.

- Started playing yesterday and, other than timing out (std), I've never been booted. No lag, either, but that may be because I have the Cox 'internet for the price of a car payment' plan.

- I am CRUSHING UP...up .55 (cents) atm

Complaints that the complainants should stfu about (at least for now):

- "Up to 72 hours to get my money? DIE!"

Perfectly legit explanation given. Btw, how long did it take you to get your last withdrawal from (any other poker site in the universe)?

- The software/geo location/rake/etc is terrible!

It is what it is. If you don't like it, play at one of the other completely legal sites available to Nevada residents. No one is making you play at UP.

Can it be better? Of course. It's a week out of the gate. Give it some time.

Glad to have legit poker...period. Thanks guys.
