***WARNING*** Remember the "Card veiwing scandal"? QUOTE FROM THE ARTICLE:
"The Absolute Poker scandal has disturbed the entire world of online poker, and eventhough the report on this case
has been finalized by the Kanawake Gaming Commision, it hasn't
closed the case! This is not a hoax or an innoncent mistake made
by Absolute Poker - it's a scandal that change the way we have
to regard poker! A.J. Green, former operational chief of AP, has
been able to see his opponents card, and winning big!"

Here is a link the the story
http://www.absolutepokerscandal.com/

WELL the rest of the story is ... that Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet are part of the same company!!!
don't beleive me?? try opening both sites at the same time.... will not happen!!
Anyway, my point is;
1, that A.J. Green was never charged with any crime. HOW COME ???
2, Even if Absolute made good on some of the loses of the players, how many people didn't know they got ripped off and lost money.
3, If Absolute and Ultimate Bet are the same "company" how can I trust UB?
How many others have the ability to look at cards?

Personally speaking, I don't care how UB looks. I don't trust Absolute and since UB is part or associated with them, I wouldn't drop a cent on them!!

Just my opinion.... Thanks

This was a very unfortunate incident and should change the way we regard online poker but it was resolved over two tears ago and ownership has changed since that time. In fact it wasn't only Absolute that was involved in this incident and they have never hidden the fact that the two poker rooms are on the same network, the CEREUS Network.

The main guy involved in the UB side of the scandal was the former owner of UB and 1994 W.S.O.P main event winner Russ Hamilton. They eventually determined that most of the super user accounts were linked to the same IP address owned by Russ Hamilton. You can find more information on Russ Hamilton and the whole AP/UB scandal HERE and all over the internet.

This is definitely something that most poker players have already heard and will surely never be forgotten but is pretty old news and alot of things have changed since that time including change of ownersip and players being paid back, which is enough for me to think that this whole thing is well on its way to being completly fixed. You can view a press release from UB regarding the scandal and the measures they have taken to resolve it HERE

Well thats just my opinion and everyone is definitely entitled to their own. I don't blame anyone for not trusting them again but to me UB or AP is just a name and are now completely different sites with different people running them than they were during the time of this scandal.

well i was just asking about the new skin and the up grades but i see a couple of people dont like the site for other reasons and that whole seeing the cards then is so old. I i have been enjoy UB lately i have lose so much money on that site but now i starting to get some of my money back lol.

i play on ub will never make a deposit at ub
there $50 freeroll payout 18 spots is a joke
have ub account for over 6 months real money from freerolls zero
sportsbook.com 1 week have $1.17 off freerolls
ub can do much more for its players but falls short
of the 5 sites i play i rank it #4 (love the poker2nite challenge though)

I've played at both sites, and was an early AP player and depositor before the scandal. I did like the old UB, but not now.

I don't like the new sites anymore, and i don't play there anymore.

My 2 cents

well the $50 freeroll at uB was diff three or so months ago. They paid out the 18 places with the cash and plus the top 30 of that game got an ticket for the weekly $1,000 freeroll it was better that way but idk wat happen?

Also a month or so ago the Poker2Nite challenge was also better because now u have to play in two tourney just to get a ticket for a chance to get an WSOP seat in the P2N main. But before u play in one tourney then the next one you is the main game for a seat and gear

There a tons of times I can't help but think that players can see not only my cards but the cards on their way to the flop. Situations where someone calls an all in when you have them covered and they got something like 3 7 off suit, and the flop comes down to be 4 5 6, just makes you wonder. Your KK or AA is nothing at that point.

I play cards for the fun of it. Sure I find it a bit more fun to play with real cash but I will never donate because I simply do not trust online sites. I will play freerolls and spend the cash I win there, but that is about it for my cash play online. For me it is a win win, cuz I have a ton of fun playing freerolls all day long.

i really fell u on that one Booky. There has been many time i go all in or put out an high raise and these idiots hit everytime. but i have called an raise and hit my too lol. somewhat i can say maybe they are just been donks but in other cases like the flop dont even hit them with no draw and they will call and hit an runner runner stg or flh wat the hell.

I don't trust UB after the cheating scandal and won't deposit any money there. There are other reputable sites that have more action, so why bother with UB? Just my .02 cents.

Not my kind of site after that happened...cheating is wrong!

well i dont deposit there any more i did when i first ever started to play online poker but now i just win freerolls and stack it up that way and play P2N

yep i have $14 on ub and $24 on ap..if you look at the top i swore id never deposit at these to sites and guess what i did--and lets just say i havent made much lol ...anyways will all the new anti-poker laws in the U.S.A felt it was important to make a small deposit at UB and AP-i dont trust these sites but i dont regret depositing...the one i regret now is the $50 i put on sportsbook-before the merge-they went from one of the best to one of the worst sites overnight..(im saying this even after ive won a few tickets on the new site)just my opinion---try getting live help now they are clueless
