It’s that time of year again! If you want to download free poker in the New Year, definitely consider UB because UBOC 6 is coming soon. The UB Online Championship for 2011 has 29 events including the $1 million Championship Event and a $750k High Roller event. Winning one of the events nets you a special UBOC watch, and if you won an event during UBOC 5, you will be invited to the Tournament of Champions! If you were planning on trying Ultimate Bet for Mac, now is definitely the time!
Everything gets started on January 16th with a NL Holdem Deep Stack event for $530. If you recently got some free poker training for Omaha and are itching to put it to use, you won’t have to wait long since the first PLO event is on the 18th. If you like heads-up, you have Event 13 to look forward to, but be sure to plan ahead because there is no late registration for this event.
The High Roller event is a $2100 buy-in and takes place on January 23rd. The Championship Event is on January 30th and features a $1050 buy-in. If you are new to money poker sites and find that these stakes are way out of your bankroll, you will have several chances to satellite into the events. Step satellites start as low as $0.10.
The other option for those new to online poker rooms is Mini-UBOC. Mini-UBOC mirrors the UBOC events but they feature much smaller buy-ins. You won’t win a special watch, but the prize pools will be large and the excitement of a final table will be there in spades!
We have been waiting all year for UBOC to come around again, so don’t let this opportunity slip away. If you own an Apple computer, you are in luck because UB is one of the best Mac poker sites around. Good luck winning one of those championship watches!
