This month, the CEREUS Network poker room UB.com is holding a number of tournaments and contests tailor-made for its low-stakes customers. All together, they have been dubbed the Perfect Play.

Perfect 10

All month, UB.com will hold $10 + $1 multi-table tournaments 10 times per day. They will commence once per hour, on the half hour, from 1:30pm ET to 10:30pm ET. Players will receive Tournament Leaderboard (TLB) points based on how they finish in each tournament, but there is a twist. UB.com will rank players based on their best 10-tournament block during the month. The first 10 tournaments a player competes in will count as the first block, tourneys 11 through 20 will count as the second, and so on. Only completed 10-tournament blocks will count. The number of TLB points received in a given tournament will equal the number of players beaten plus one.

At the end of the month, the top 50 players on the leaderboard will win a share of $60,000 in cash, starting with $7,500 for first place, $4,500 for second place, and $3,000 for third place, on down to $500 for 41st through 50th. The top 10 players will also receive UB hoodies.

In addition, the top five players each week will receive $1,000. Blocks will not be used, as these rankings will be based on players’ top five scores for the week.

Perfect 3

The Perfect 3 works exactly the same way as the Perfect 10, except for lower stakes. The tournaments in this contest will cost $3 + $0.30 and once again, the 10-tournament block format will apply.

The top three TLB finishers at the end of the month will receive $2,500, $1,500, and $1,000, respectively. Prizes go down to $200 for 41st through 50th places.

For the weekly competition, the top five ranked players will each earn $300.

Perfect Player Bonus

The Perfect Player Bonus combines the above two competitions into one, simple contest. In this one, the player with the most combined points on both the Perfect 10 and Perfect 3 leaderboards will win a healthy prize of $2,500.

Perfect Cash Games

Micro-stakes cash games players will earn double points all month. Specifically, No Limit and Pot Limit cash games up to and including $0.05/$0.10 count for the Perfect Cash Games promo, as do Fixed Limit cash games up to and including $0.10/$0.20. Heads-up tables do not count.

Perfect Sit and Gos

UB.com has added special $1.20 Sit and Go tournaments to the lobby for October. Players who win one of these single-table tournaments, labeled “Perfect Promo SnGs,” will be entered into a $5,000 freeroll. The freeroll will be held on November 6th at 3:00pm ET and is capped at 5,000 players.

In addition to the cheap Perfect Play promotions, keep in mind that UB.com is also holding a series of freerolls through November 28th in which one skilled and lucky player will win a $12,000 World Poker Tour Doyle Brunson Five Diamond World Poker Classic prize package. Round 1 freerolls will run six times daily, with the top 100 finishers in each moving on to Round 2. The Round 2 freerolls are held every Sunday; the top 100 in those advance to the Main Event. It is in that Main Event, held on November 28th, that winner will be awarded the WPT prize package.
