Ultimatebet slits their own throat again

It's really pretty easy to see.

If their was ever a game where conservative play should work....it's blackjack. You have to make your bet before you see any cards. And suppossedly, the dealer has a small edge. In three of four sit and gos tonight I qualified for the final table playing conservatively.

And then watched while bad blackjack play was unanimously rewarded. The same old splitting tens nonsense. Players with previously modest bets making big ones and catching a 20 while the dealer has a 15 and busts.

Now, don't get me wrong....the game is a tad more reasonable than it used to be. The desperate players make big bets when they should to try and stay alive. I do that myself. But over the past few weeks I see them rewarded, and I'm universally screwed.

Registration problems - this is obviously not the most popular game on the site. So tables don't fill up instantly. And I get to watch the list. 21 player game...25 players registered. I was in before the game had 19 players. And suddenly I'm #2 on the next table. 15 players registered on a 14 player game. And the game doesn't start because the AI with the joke name doesn't really exist.

And they continue to play to make me lose instead of playing to win.
