    hold up

    just reread the letter from support, they have changed my entry to a $200k Poker Tournament when i play BJ
    Ok i should be pleased as the aruba BJ entry was $109 and they have changed to a $200+15 so i guess if i played poker i would be estatic now need to become a poker Pro in 6 days,

    5 mins later- Ok am very happy now where as The Aruba Super Sat You could not unregister to get TD's ( I could not make Aruba due to 31 day cruise I'm on that clashed with it) I just tried and unregistered from the Poker event and got $215 TD's thanks Ultimate that is superb :) :) :) :)

    The first Aruba Sat

    Well last night was the first Super Sat for the $100k Aruba BJ Tour, Had 41 entrees but for some reason that maybe members on here can enlighten most did not turn up, My first round 7 on table 2 go through and we had 5 no shows, so yes Hand 5 and was through to next round, Seemed to be a lot of poker players playing who had not played before out of regulars Sweetteabird done best coming 3rd on final table.

    No Aruba?

    Has anyone else noticed all of the Aruba Tournaments have dissappeared from Ultimate Bet's site?

    Is this still on?

    Confused

    I wish either UB-Pitboss or Ken Smith would or could confirm that UB-P is an official representative of any or all UBT sites. Is this another useless waste of text-space?

    Rook, KS is working on the validity of UB-Pitboss. We should all know something soon.

    Ah Rookie:

    Seldom spoken:

    But, serious, succient and subtly shrewd, as suites the Sultan/Swammy/Shepherd of success.

    Validy is truely an oxymoron.

    A valid representive will first take care of past troublesome issues rather than simply trying to promote a site that has failed so miserably at keeping its word.

    These current problems are nothing new ..in fact this a par for the course since start up.

    Ok...with that said I truely hope UB has come to its senses and has offered a representive who will take care of issues past and present. He is right that EBJ is a great game....its just been mishandled up to this point.

    First step....pay your debts and honor your word about bonus....

    I received confirmation from support at UltimateBet that UB-Pitboss is indeed part of their staff. They noted for the record that his posts can't be construed as the official line, but that he does have the ability to communicate issues with the appropriate people at UB to get accurate responses.

    In short, I'm glad to see him here. While there have been and continue to be issues, establishing a point of communication is a nice first step.

    suggestion

    Hi, I don't think sit-n-gos would work, it would force the first players registered to stay in front of their screen for a long time to make sure they don't lose their buy-ins.

    Here is my suggestion: use a format similar to the 25000$ guaranteed monthly tournament. Daily satellites 5$ at 8:30 PM and 10$ at 9:30 PM. Then, the monthly super satellite will send THE WHOLE FINAL TABLE (6 players) to Aruba.

    But I do think that any format proposed would not necessarily work on the first few days, especially if it is not promoted outside the site. Cause the EBJ crowd is currently small. Also, an introductory email with emphasis on the promotion could also help (an email with BJ content only). Otherwise, players could not understand exactly what is going on.

    JoeP in Disguise...

    UB-Pitboss (AKA JoeP):

    Nice try!! (LOL) Did you even think for 30 seconds, that anyone would beleive that the UB-Pitboss thing would lead anyone to think that it's someone other than YOU? LMAO

    When did you revert back to your normal broken English?

    Skipper :joker:

    P.S. Glad to see that Barney or Rick haven't put anything in your Diet Pepsi, and that you're still round (around) ....

    Thanks...

    Hey Mace:

    Thanks for clearing things up! (LOL)

    I played against him tonight, as he came out of hiding, so I know that at least he's still alive and kicking.

    As usual, he was talking his TRASH and trying to stir things up with me, along with his CHAT about "spanking a couple of women" and fake Marines wetting their pants! Absolutely hilarious!! Hilarious that when he SPEAKS, the words seem to be similar to the words of a "potty mouth kindergartener" who hasn't learned any better...

    He seemed to have mispelled my last name recently as "Semen", (I'm sure it was UNINTENTIONAL) LOL, and now he's fantasizing about Marines wetting their pants! Such a CLASSLESS ACT... He can't seem to dress, talk or write with any degree of professionalism or common decency! Some things will NEVER change...

    Nice talking with you today. Take care my friend, and make it a Great Week...

    Skipper

    As I stated somewhere in a thread in the last couple of days, UltimateBet confirmed that UB-Pitboss is on their staff. I also suspect that English is not his first language, so be understanding in that respect.

    Lastly, let's stay away from Joe bashing. He's not here to defend himself, and there's nothing to be gained from it here.

    I Agree...

    Ken:

    I agree wholeheartedly with you, and while I am so sick and tired of the things he says and does, and the personal ATTACKS he continues to direct towards others, myself included, I will REFUSE to stoop to the level where he has positioned himself...

    My thanks for the service you continue to provide to the Blackjack Community!

    Make it a "Great Week" my friend...

    Skipper
