At micro stakes a win in MTTs is more than just win Here the field was small, but imagine some $1 tourney on PS when you have to beat almost as many donks as in some freeroll :o I've never played at UB yet, but maybe I'll try when I'll start playing MTTs if the fields are that small sometimes.

I've just checked and it seems that these tourney's are not a all popular on UB. Currently running there is a $1 - $50 GTD game with only 46 runners, a $50 - $1500 GTD game with only 16 runners!, and a $5 - $200 GTD game that starts in 40 minutes that only has 7 entries so far.

Congrats on your win Jbrooksie. And if I haven't already welcomed you . . . Welcome.
Don't sell yourself too short, Taking down 45 other people is definitely a win in my books. Have you just recently started playing? Or are you a poker vet?
Also are you just starting out with a No Deposit Bonus? Or risking your own funds.

Yeah to be honest - If I still had a roll on UB/AP I would be looking to withdraw it, it's not looking good for them.

Either way: Good luck.
Thanks for the welcome.
I'm certainly not a poker vet. I used to play regulary in my local casino 20 years ago with a modicum of success but only started playing online last August - the game has changed a lot!.
So far I've managed with no deposit bonuses, lost a couple but doing ok with others, hence my playing on UB. Not really bothered if I can ever withdraw from here but it's good training.

Well grats to you, very good job you did, it is a great feeling, isn´t it ? I won one freeroll by myself couple of days ago and besides the money, the feeling was great to win such a tourney. I hope your money is save on UB and you will be able to cash out in future.

You are absolutely right of course, a win it's a win, but i'm surprised to see you are playing or the better say you are still playing at ultimate bet/cereus network. I'm sure you know what it's said about them and what will happend to them finally since there is no other way around this... Still i think this is a good opportunity to play these kind of guaranteed tournaments over there as long you can withdraw your money when you want, but as i'm sure you know this, they are really on thin ice and it's possible that someday to find out they are down and closed, and you can't recover your money from your account. I say to continue to play them but keep a minimum bankroll into your ub account, enough to do some buy ins, no more, just my 0.2 anyway. Congratulations on your win once again!!

anyway.
