The hands I would win big $$$$$$$ with ,I was now loosing with Aces ,Kings pre-flop,always getting out drawn,it was really hurting my game. I'm on Ultimate and really enjoy the ring games ,the player's at UB are real player's and not fish,this will really improve my game in the long run.

The few times I've played in a casino, there were a lot of fish, so playing at PartyPoker would definitely help to better prepare for those situations. I may try it out in the near future for something different and if I do, I'll use your bonus code. I’m going to have to agree with some of what you say.

In loose, passive games (i.e., games filled with bad players), your starting hand selection and post-flop play becomes crucial, and if you don't pay attention you'll continually get sucked out on the river by some jerkoff who called you down with Jack/4 offsuit. So, I guess I'd say that my play has definitely improved, albeit in a different way than you'd like your play to improve. Because most of the live players I play against are equally as bad (i.e., verbally express their opinion that "any two cards can win"), I guess my online play at Party has better prepared me for my live games. Anyway, just a difference of opinion, I guess. Good luck and keep up the strong progress!

You won't get any better until you play against some competition if you ask me. As a good friend says, "To be the best, you gotta beat the best!"

Seriously, though, you need to ditch UB and play at Party Poker. The level of play at Party is so extremely weak, you won't even believe the difference. I originally started at Paradise, then went to UB (and got crushed), and then finally wised up and went to Party. I've made probably $150 over the past couple months playing the sit&go's and .50/1 ring games. It's pretty well known that the level of play at UB is the toughest, with Poker Stars playing a close second. You talked about how tough the competition is at 10/1 sng. At Party, it doesn't start to toughen up until 30/3 (which I don't yet have the bankroll for yet but should soon!). I'm all for brand loyalty, but why play with the strongest competition when you know where the fishies swim? Anyway, I'll e-mail you a bonus code that gets you $25 for funding an account (I get money too, in the interests of full disclosure). At least try it. I think you'll be amazed at how bad some of the play is. Congrats on the sit&go success. Seriously, though, you need to ditch UB and play at Party Poker.
