    I am looking at enhancing my profits (or actually maybe softening the losses) by making side wagers on the river when I am short stacked, have a pocket pair like JJ, QQ or KK and get called all in by anyone with overs. I have busted out of my last 5 tourneys in the same fashion.

    JJ vs AQ river is Q
    JJ vs KQ river is K
    KK vs AK river is A (especially frusterating)
    QQ vs AK river is K
    QQ vs QK river is K (are you freakin' kidding me?)

    I am sending an email to UB and requesting that they add a side bet interface to the poker rooms. I for one would give a lot of action on that side bet.

    3 to 1 the river card trumps my pocket pair.....any takers?
