Online Poker Ramblings

UB.com is one of the best Mac poker sites for Omaha. They have a new Royal Flush promotion that might remind you of a bad beat jackpot. They made a progressive Royal Flush Jackpot, and when someone hits a royal flush, they win 50% of the pot. Pretty cool way to reward someone for the most awesome hand in poker.

If you are familiar with a Lucky Ace Poker download, you might have tried playing on the bad beat jackpot tables. Someone losing a hand with quad 8s or better wins 50% of the jackpot, and the rest of the table also wins a percentage of the jackpot. You will see that the Royal Flush promo is very much like this bad beat promo. The royal flush winner receives 50% of the jackpot, 25% goes to the players at the table where the royal flush was hit, and the last 25% is split amongst the other players at Jackpot tables of the same stake. At UB you will have more chances to rake in the dough than at some of the other poker sites!

One thing to note is that only 65% of the jackpot is awarded when someone hits a royal flush. The other 35% is divided as follows: 25% for the next Jackpot, 10% to UB for administration. If you have experience with a Fulltiltpoker download, you might dislike that UB receives 10% of the jackpot, but that is the price we pay for these kinds of promotions.

To be eligible for the Jackpot, you have to play at a Royal Flush Jackpot table. Flash Texas Holdem is a feature of UB, so you do not even need to download a program to give these games a shot. The Jackpot is built up by taking 50 cents from every raked hand at these tables.

There are a couple other conditions to keep in mind for winning the Royal flush Jackpot on this poker site. At least four people had to have been playing the hand, and the hand must go to show down. If you were sitting out when the Royal was won, you will not receive a share of the winnings. If there are two royal flushes dealt at the same time, the table that started the hand first will win the Jackpot. I think I would hide behind my free slots download for some time if I lost the Jackpot to another royal flush hand that started mere seconds before mine. I would be so mad!

If you are sick of Holdem and want to give Omaha a try, definitely consider UB. It is a good sign that you do not have to download Full Tilt Poker if you are interested in the less common poker games. Full Tilt is great but it is nice to have options!
