April, 2006 Leaders

If you take a look at the link above you'll see all the hot players in April. Some of them, like sneakone and sexygee, I don't know much about. Others, like james taylor are top pros, but I just haven't had them at my tables much when I do get a chance to play. The players on the list that I've personally seen that they are playing very well include: the talkative g s x r, jeffbeesdat, Wachovia, --kill-bill, mucker, psp1, anniebets, beazynow, killerbritty, potroast00, P0kerPr033, and the great bel0wab0ve, who seems to be spending more time at UB. If you have these players at your table, be prepared to be "re-popped" anytime you raise. ;-)

I especially like the way P0kerPr033 repops you. It's always just the right amount to cause you extreme pain. It's never an easy call and makes you doubt your AJ off in a hurry.

UB MTTs

Concerning UB and yesterday's post: KrazyKanuck apparently stepped in and had them put the some of the $100 MTTs back in. There is one tonight at 8pm with a nice $15,000 Guarantee.

We can hope this will be stable but who knows. In the past months UB has launched a nice $30 rebuy, had great success with it, then pulled it without explanation. They've launched half a dozen $100 tournaments a day, but with no guarantee, so many were no bigger than a SNG, so they failed terribly. They've launched excellent nightly $100 tournaments, then changed the time, then pulled them. They launched a terrific Wednesday night $200, then changed the time, then pulled it. They have moved their Sunday $200 tournament time slot several times.

This is not a way to BUILD a following.

I wish one of UBs "Ambassadors" -- KrazyKanuck, Legggy, Debo, Poker Ho, or Shawn Rice -- would be given control over UBs rebuy and $100 touranments for just two months. If UB did that, then if UB actually announced it that these players had control for two months, players like me would flock to the tournaments they set up to support them. Do it UB.
