Ultimate BetThe UltimateBet site was designed from the start using input from an impressive line-up of professional poker players and thus can be though of perhaps the poker player's ultimate online poker room. Phil Hellmuth and Annie Duke (World Series of Poker champions) lead the pro team at UltimateBet and add to the poker rooms' website with articles on strategy, and with a series of seminars on online poker that the UltimateBet site hosts.At UltimateBet players will find the usual poker games (Texas Hold'em, Omaha, and 7-Card Stud) but they also offer some interesting non-standard fun poker games such as Crazy Pineapple and Deuce to Seven and Ace to Five (two versions of lowball triple draw poker). The tournament scene at UltimateBet offers a selection that includes Sit and Go tournaments, Multi-table tournaments, Direct Entry satellites and Freeroll tournaments. The tournament tables offered can sit two, six or ten players. One tournament offering at UltimateBet is one that is part of the World Poker Tour, the Aruba Classic, in it players start out qualifying with online play and end (for the successful players) in a face-to-face poker battle held at Aruba. UltimateBet offers ring games with table limits as low as a few pennies per game. With the limits so low a player can afford to play real money poker without having to have a large bankroll behind him/her. UltimateBet also offers higher limit tables as well for those interested; the $80/$160 hold'em tables are usually very active. A person starting to play poker can observe any tournament in play, including the big money poker games, to see how players with access to huge bankrolls play the game. UltimateBet offers players a reward program where points are earned for playing in ring games and tournaments (even players playing Freeroll tournaments are eligible). UltimatePoints earned can be used by players to purchase a selection of available merchandise (from Motorcycles and Plasma TVs to T-shirts and Hats) UltimatePoints can even be used to play at special poker tables.
