No way they refund the past paypal fee's, but I definitely wouldn't mind like a grand back so I'm all for it xD

please change the chip graphics to show more chips for larger bets, etc. change color of text in lobby for tables you're already sitting on

I have a dream that a big update in like a month or something with small updates and minor bug fixes, chip graphics, 4-6 tables maximum and 50bb min buy in cash games, little better tournament structure. I would be pretty excited about it. One can dream. I forgot how much I missed being able to play small stakes online till I stumbled upon Global.

Really loving the vision for the site and I hope it succeeds!

If we could have a list with url links, that would be a start. Trying to copy and paste into Notepad each hand is quite a task, especially since the Share link doesn't stay active for very long.

I'm against HUDs, but we all like to study our hands for improvement.

Please do this.
They already have a feature that allows you to bring up the previous hand in a separate tab. That's plenty good enough imo.

Gtfo with your table limits. I prefer to play 10 tables at a time. You want to take money out of my pocket because you hold some illogical belief that people playing more than a certain amount of tables hurts the games. Kindly **** off. 8 should be the absolute minimum maximum if they did impose restrictions.

And 50bb's is kind of drastic. I think 35-40bb's is the sweet spot to keep the fish happy and not allow professional short stackers to ruin the game (although they rely on rakeback so no problem there).

How people aren't screaming for a sit in/out on the BB button for all tables is beyond me. In comparison, the continue playing pop ups are slightly annoying, but are not a big deal at all, even when I'm playing 12 tables.
07-19-2017 , 02:21 PM
IMHO no real need for table limits if the clock and time back stays as short as it it and there's no huds or bots. No human is going to be able to profitably play more than about 10 tables and thats pushing it, again imo. If they tried the site times players out so fast its not really a detriment to others. I dont play cash games much so idk how long it is before a player sitting out is removed from a table. I timed out of 3 mtt/stts in about 20 seconds yesterday when i got up to grab something out of the closet, i dont think it bothered anyone other than me lol. On Bol or wpn I can get up and take a wiz or run to the kitchen and not time out. Ive not managed to do either and not time out on GP. TMI lol?

I'm against table limits. Slightly lower variance mtt structures would be cool.

Not all opinions are equal.

It would still be nice to have access to those links after the tournament is over, for reasons I hope is obvious.

The history in the the table box is limited as it populates; the older stuff gets truncated and it's gone. So, if I want to look at several previous hands, I have a limited time to get them, and if I open them as I need them, they create new windows across the browser, and eventually will slow my system down as they open more and more windows.

Some people express their opinions very aggressively on here lol
07-20-2017 , 09:06 AM
Seems like the issue of not being able to see the size of a button bet has been fixed!

Love this thread. THX GP! I've been on the site since day one and love GP's willingness to listen to its customers. My thoughts are:

Deeper MTT blind structures. Even if you only have it once or twice a week, tourneys that start with at least 100BB would be great. I know there are a lot of us out there that would like to play in slower structures now and again.

Bounty Tournaments - us recs like gimmicks too and the current blind structure could make this very fun lol.

Note box - can more characters be added? I run out of space and i like to keep my notes on the site. And i agree that it would be great if the notes synchronized to the player's other tables.

Customized bet sizes would be nice but lower on list.

Sit-out longer. It doesn't have to be crazy long but if I'm sat at a cash table on a nice long session, being removed from the table after an orbit is too quick. It should be proportional to your session maybe with the one orbit being the minimum? It's a drag to lose my seat because i have to answer the door or whatever.

Swag tourneys would be great too. I'd rock the GP gear ��

Hey guys,

I know I'm beating an increasing tired drum but an adjustment to the MTT structures is important. They either need to be slightly slower or starting stacks deeper (preferred).

Starting off with deeper stacks won't add significant time to the length of the tournament but it will ensure that play leading up to and after the second break has more play involved. I keep getting deep in tournaments where the chip leader has between 18-25BB w/ an average of 10-12BB! That's way to short stacked to allow for any real skill or variation in play to be involved beyond push/shove charts.

When hundreds or even thousands of dollars are on the line it shouldn't be a crapshoot of run-good vs run-bad to determine the winner. We've all already played 2.5-3+ hours and beaten 100-500 players, we deserve to not have the end game be a roll of the RNG.

I'm with you 100%. I'd play far more tourneys (particularly higher buy-in tourneys) if there was more play involved. By level 3 - just 20 min into the tourney - it's often shovefest time because folks have 15BB or less. I was surprised that more people weren't putting deeper structures on their wish lists.
07-20-2017 , 05:39 PM
+1
I haven't played maybe but 3 in over a month. I consider myself an mtt specialist and ya therefore i deemed the aren't worth playing regardless of how weak the field may or may not be. Way too much variance too early in the structure. At least increase the starting stacks and add on amounts please.

The reason I deem them not worth taking up screen space is due to how the software performs, im far better off filling my space and time with sng.

In that case don't make the structure adjustments TOO good, I don't need TwitchIt grabbing my equity with his skillz

Haha! This old gal don't have mad skillz! I just have high variance aversion I'd like the tourneys to at least get to the break before luck takes on a leading role.

Current wish list for improvements/fixes:

1. Timeout for rebuying at cash game table when you go busto is way too short. Should be 30-60 seconds. It sucks to go broke on BB and then miss button, have to dump in dead SB, etc.

2. Auto-rebuy should have an option to top up to any number of BB the user inputs, not just max. It would be ideal if this option could be saved differently for different stakes, too.

3. Pot button is still broken for BB in unraised pot. It is 1BB too low.

4. Still can't access notes after player folds/goes broke.

5. Need "wait for BB" option available any time you sit out, not just when joining table for the first time.

6. "No more blinds" should be "sit out next BB." Nobody wants to pay the BB and then sit out next hand.

Thanks!

Is there any move towards making cash outs available for non americans?

I know Global has mentioned it, and I am sure they want to bring more players in. Heck, their name is Global. Its not USA poker, after all. With that said, I haven't seen a specific timeline either from Global.

It is currently their weekend so their support staff won't be on here, you should repost your question as a new thread Sunday night or Monday sometime and see if you get an answer. My guess is it will get lost in this thread pretty easily.
07-22-2017 , 08:40 PM
Oh and

7. When you click "leave," it should remove you from your seat, not turn the window black and leave you in your seat. When that happens, if you reopen the table you find you are still there and what's more, it sits you in! This is a pretty bad bug.

8. Players should not be able to occupy seats at the tables if they don't buy in. Right now if they attempt to sit and hit "cancel" they occupy a seat for many hands before they get removed.

TWO WORDS: BETTER MTT STRUCTURES

As others have said please improve the structures. Min 3K stacks and 10 min level in reg - 12 min levels and 5K stack would be great. As it is now it's nothing but a shovefest a few minutes in.

OH TWO MORE WORDS

Synchronized breaks at:55 PLEASE
07-23-2017 , 03:16 AM
Oh yeah HUGE ISSUE:

I played a couple of MTTs tonight and when the MTT starting time came my tables didn't open. I went to the MTT and clicked on go to table (or w/e it says) and nothing happened. I had to find myself in the player list and click on open table to find my seat.

With your fast structure this is a HUGE problem. I use Google browser, does Firefox work better?

+1 to mtt schedule. As far as browser, chrome works best, I used firefox initially but had issues and most use chrome.

Tables popping up, its a chrome setting, change to "allow popups" from global (im not sure the exact setting) and itll take care of it. Its been posted here recently in detail i just cant recall.
07-23-2017 , 05:17 PM
I PM the Global Admin about a player who admitted he was multi accounting with proof, still waiting for a response...

Also, just had this guy (1lazylimabean) at my table who was short and got stacked. Left the table and came back later with $2 and a new screen close to what he used before, and continued on with the conversation he was having in chat.

07-23-2017 , 05:18 PM
And again, a new name....

07-23-2017 , 06:52 PM
He did this about 5 times in the same session. Here's his latest SN, he ran it up from $2 to like $20 and left. I hope you seize his winnings. Scumbag.
