I have...been playing there for about 2 months. I can't remember practically any times where I've been rivered, I also find that the layout is nice. Doesn't seem fixed to me *shrugs*.

I don't know how you're avoiding it. I can't get anywhere in UB freerolls. I lose to the no fold'ems. I just got busted out of the 2:30 by some lucky idiot (finished around 300th). First hand, I'm holding 8s and the flop comes rainbow and makes my set of 8s. There are no draws possible except backend flushes, which is what got me. Moron kept betting into me and I just called to get the most out of him. He called my reraise on the turn and then made his backend flush on the river to take half my stack. Yep, he was calling my raises and raising into me with low pair. Next hand. I get AQs and the board gives me my flush draw. I'm low so I figure I'll semi bluff. Same moron calls me. I reraise and he calls again on turn. I'm finally all-in and miss my draw on the river. He flips over low pair again, pocket 7s to beat me. How do you keep calling someone with low pair?

How do you not run into these robots? I can't avoid them. UB has by far the worst players I've played. Everybody says Party Poker, but I find them much more intelligent. I'm starting to switch over. They are beta testing their freerolls right now too. I played one last night and it was fun even though 4000 people were in it. I almost made top 100 and the money.

I also just busted out of the 2:30. I'm not sure how I don't get rivered...Usually, if there is a flush or high-end straight draw out there, I will fold top pair, low-middle two pair and low trips.

I ended 229th, due to my own (stupid) play. I was doin' real well, but was hovering around 2500 from when the average was about that, 2500, to 5000. I ended up betting about 1300 on QQ, when a King came on the flop. NEXT HAND (Yes, the immediate next hand) I get QQ again. Bet big pre-flop, King comes again. By this time I'm at about 1000 TC, when average is 5000. I go all-in and lose. It was a stupid play, but I was hoping he didn't have a King. Oh well. I might not have been able to play on Sunday anyway :?

I was going to play in that but I over slept. . . I registered before going to sleep so I bet I got blinded out over time and really ticked off the ppl at my table.
