Here are a few hands I wasn't sure about from my maiden voyage at Ultimate Bet. I played mostly 3/6 with a kill.
Hand 1) I have AA. UTG limps, I raise, all fold to UTG who calls. All I know about UTG is that he's fond of trying to steal the blinds. Flop Q,J,J rainbow. UTG checks, I bet, UTG calls. Turn is a 9, two hearts on the board. UTG bets (I think he's either on a draw or doesn't want to miss a bet with a J, but a bluff is in the back of my mind) I call. River (Q,J,J,9) Q, no flush. UTG bets, I fold.
Hand 2) I've got QdTd on button. MP & LP limp, I limp, both blinds see the flop. Flop: Qc,Js 8s. Checked to me, I bet, SB calls, BB folds, MP folds, LP calls. Turn (Qc,Js,8s) 7h. Checked to me, I bet, SB check raises, LP folds, I call. River (Qc,Js,8s,7h) Tc. SB bets, I raise, SB calls. I win the pot and SB and LP start chattering about how I'll go broke if I keep making "stupid calls"... and they didn't mean I should have reraised the turn.
Hand 3: Game has gotten very tight. JJ UTG I raise. MP, button and both blinds cold call. 5 haven't seen the flop in half an hour. Flop:Ah, 6h, 4s. SB bets. BB folds. I figure SB probably wouldn't call 2 with just suited cards even with 3 others in front of him. I also felt it likely that one of the cold callers behind me could have an A, so I fold. Everyone else folds and SB takes the pot.
