    I'm sure some of you out there remember pre the current casino version UB..... when they introduced a couple games that would go on to revolutionize poker.

    -Royal Hold'em: Let's make a hold em variant where there are just cards in the deck that make up a royal flush. so stack decks with 10's J's Q's K's and Aces. Should be super fun and give ub the dge over those play with the pros full tilt people...

    now how to compete with pokerstars..... Let's cater to degenrates more than they do. yeah they have turbos and super big field high payday rebuys but we will crush them with this next idea.

    -Ro Sham Bo:     Let let these high rollers settle shit like true gamblers with some good old fashioned Rock Paper Scissors.

    Was just chatting with a buddy who never played UB and he didnt believe me that UB ran ro sham bo. He laughed even more when I told them their current casino games include Casino War.
    Sometimes I think the game creators at UB smoke the same shit as Taco Bell.
    Here's an idea....lets take a soft taco tortilla and stick it to the outside of a hard shell with some refried beans man....call it a double decker taco....and while were at it lets call that new chili cheese burritp a Chilito!

    1) Mexican Spanish slang for a small penis. 2) A former food item at Taco Bell, which was a chili and cheese burrito.

    yea, Ultimate Point cash games and SnG's were entertaining as well. IMO it was a cool way to have some fun with loyalty points.

    I loved Royal holdem!!! It was hilarious to play against guys who had no idea there was nothing but faces cards in the deck. You could seriously make a killing at that game just off the guys who had no clue why they were getting such great starting hands.
