UB.com Poker Tournaments – Ultimate Bet Tournaments

Ultimate Bet hosts several different types of multi-table poker tournaments. In these tournaments, players seat themselves at multiple tables and play against each other. These tournaments are much like the regular games. However, in these, the prizes are much larger than the regular poker card rooms.

Since the winning pots are very large in these tournaments, they are scheduled and announced much in advance so that the players can register for these matches well in time. Each of these tournaments has a pre decided buy-ins. These buy-ins go towards making the prize pot. There are different buy-ins and they are divided into the money that goes into the prize pool and the money that goes to the house. For instance, in a buy-in which is $1+0, $1 goes towards the prize pot and $0 goes to the house. There are tournaments for which the buy-ins are as high as $100+9. The higher the buy-in, the larger will be the prize pot at the end of the tournament.

Players can start registering for the tournaments from the time the first announcement is made, to the time the tournament actually begins. In the tournaments, unlike the regular games, rake is not collected from the hands played in the game.

To play the scheduled multi-table poker tournaments, all you need is an account with the Ultimate Bet online casino and the free downloadable software available on the website. To register for the tournament you will only need to click on the ‘Tourneys’ tab on the interface of the downloaded software. Here, you can click on the ‘All’ tab to browse through all the tournaments scheduled for the day. Once you have chosen the tournament in which you want to play, double click on it and register yourself. After you are registers, you have to purchase the buy-ins. If you want a direct entry into a tournament or a satellite, you can pay using cash from your account, ultimate points or tournament dollars. You cannot use your bonus dollars for making this purchase.

Upon successfully registering for a tournament, you will receive a conformation email, which will be sent to the email account that you provided while registering for the tournament. You can check all the tournaments that are scheduled and in which you have participated, in the ‘tourneys’ tab on your gaming software. You can enter into the tournament on the date and the time that it was scheduled on using the game manager. As soon as a table is ready for you, you will be allowed to play in the tournament.

Since the tournament is multi-table, many players play together at once. As players keep going bust, the tables are broken and the winner of each table is paired with another winner from another table. This way the game continues till there is only one table and one winner takes the entire pot collected from the buy-ins.

Apart from the scheduled tournaments, which offer large pots, there are also the Sit & Go Poker Tournaments where there is no need to register in advance. Anyone can take part in these tournaments but the pots are much smaller in these.
