SOFTWARE
The interface is fast and smooth, the lobby shows all the info needed (% players to flop, hands per hour, pot sizes and waiting list). At the tables when you take any seat, the perspective rotates so that you are always sitting at the bottom center of the table, allowing you to take the best place to play without any problem and lose track of which seat you are on at which table.
It has options to change to four colour deck to help to see the different suits, change the background, change the size of the table to a mini-size that it needs to get used to, but very useful if your are multi-tabling (Ultimate Bet allows you to play at 9 tables maximum) or to a bigger size.
One of the best feature offered by this poker room is the Ultimate Buddy, this is an enhance buddy list system, which allows you to keep track of your friends or the worst players, and when one of them enters to the lobby you are notified (it comes pre-loaded with Phil Hellmuth Jr. and Annie Duke’s names, so if you are lucky enough you can play with them).
The level of the poker room is average, the tables are full of regular players that has an average skill but at the weekends is full of poor players. The traffic is good and you can play at any table and any level at any hour of the day.
The wide range of stakes for which you can play is accomodating to just about any bankroll. Also, a lot of players are very bad which makes for lots of easy games, even at the medium-stakes level. The players are probably as a good a mix as you could ask for. There are just the right amount of fish and decent players to make for many good Fixed Limit tables.
