Last night after reading up about a few different rooms, decide to extend the s0stndrd "empire" into UB-ville and after downloading and depositing some money, bought into a $5 tourney to get the feel of the software.

Nice interface (looking down to see life size kings is kind of cool) but still not quite as good as Stars imho. I quickly busted in the tourney and decided to play a $5r to the 200k GTD on Sunday. After taking four rebuys and an add-on and not picking up too many hands, I woke up with Q[c] Q[s] behind a shove and a reshove and hurt my hand clicking call as fast as possible. No surprises vs 10-10 and 2-2 and suddenly I have a stack. Everything goes pretty smooth from there and I eventually take down a seat - nice start!

If anyone was playing with me, I was apologise at not being very talkative: I wasn't trying to snub anyone, it's just that I had no idea where the chat button was!

Now to try and figure out how UB works with PT and PAHUD...

Last night we also celebrated being mortgage-free with dinner at a local Japanese and a bottle of '99 Pol Roger Rose (see Polaroid above) captured above in the-soon-to-be-defunct Polaroid format. Both the wine and food were excellent and memorable ways to mark a magical day!
