Looking Forward...Do We HAVE To?

I don't know about you but I've spent much of the past week recovering from the Aruba Poker Classic. I've sifted through thousands of photos. I've done quite a bit of laundry. And there have been many, many naps. It's something of a cliche that most people need a vacation after they get home from vacation, but in every cliche there's a kernel of truth. And that particular cliche is especially true of those happy folks who spent last week in Aruba.
I'm sure I'll be writing up more posts about Aruba, and posting more photos, but let's not forget that the world keeps on turning. We might be preoccupied with memories of the immediate past (those that survived all those Balashis) but we should also pause to look at the road ahead.
I'm sure there's quite a few of you who followed along with the Arublog and wished you were down there enjoying the sun, the sea, the poker, the parties. But you didn't make it. Maybe that's because you didn't play in the Aruba satellites we ran for months before the tournament and never qualified. Perhaps you've decided that you're going to focus your attention on winning a seat to the 2009 Aruba Poker Classic, but that's a whole year away. What's to hold your attention now?
Yes, satellites have already begun for the third UltimateBet Online Championship. Twelve events, two with $1 million guaranteed prize pools, spread over ten days. No-Limit Hold-Em. PLO. H.O.R.S.E. Rebuy events. A 128-person Heads-Up event. No matter what form of poker you love, you'll be able to find it during UBOC3.
The first event is on January 9th, so that gives you around three months to play as many satellites as it takes to lock up your seat for the UBOC3 event (or events) you want to play. If you think that's a long time and you can dawdle before committing yourself to our UBOC satellites, ask if that's the same attitude you took toward Aruba. There was around two-and-a-half months between the end of the World Series of Poker and the Aruba Poker Classic, and look at how fast that time flew by. If you want ensure that you play in UltimateBet's biggest tournament series, there's no time like the present to make that a reality.
