UltimateBet

UltimateBet was one of the first poker rooms on the internet, and you can tell that they have plenty of experience in the field. The site has been overhauled recently and the result is a very classy looking home page to promote what really is a great online poker room. The web site alone is well worth a visit because it is literally packed with poker goodies. These include a video poker tutorial with WSOP champion Annie Duke, a blog, articles and news items.

There has been a good increase in the number of tournaments offered here at UltimateBet, and these are complimented by a strong stable of cash games and sit n go tourneys. All of the usual games are here (Texas Hold'em, Omaha, Stud, etc.) but if you want something new then you can try your hand at UltimateBet's Elimination Blackjack Tournaments as well. There are also some interesting poker game variations that you might not have seen before, including Dual-Flop Texas Hold'em and 1-2-4-8 (mini blinds) games.
