I'm not saying it's rigged. I doubt anyone is 'rigging' the RNG/Algorithm to gain an unfair advantage or cheat the system. I believe it's not truly random though. I could be wrong, but I read some high level posters basically agree and say it isn't perfect, but the advantages outweigh the negative so they continue to play.

Just curious, I'm still going to play.

There is a 1,000+ post thread already discussing this. Site's RNG was certified and they posted the company that performed this test in their FAQ. 3 weeks of play I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you've played 30k hands. No where near a sample size where your "more times than you can count" selective memory of receiving bad beats can be a sufficient sample.

Are you winning at Global Poker?
Are you good?
Do win at other sites, real or play money?
Do you win live, RNG? Tounies?
Do you have 100 or more post at 2+2?

if you answer yes to all of these please answer. If not, then please don't?


Hugoism #11 What keeps you from playing as good as you think you are? Not being as good as you think you are.

IwishIwas, fantastic post.

I have to vent. Every time I sit down, I get kings vs aces, 6 handed. It's been at least 6 times since I've been on the other side of it (nor have I won).

I played a lot of tables, for over 30 minutes, without flopping a single set (seriously). KK vs AA, guy flops a set. As soon as I finish chatting about this, the SAME THING happens on another table. I get KK vs AA and guys flops a set. It's just insult to injury.

My win rate is great, overall, so it's w/e, I guess. Yet, I'm scared to play. You either win nothing and take the absolute worst beats of all time -- or you win everything. I can't help but to think my win rate is only good because I tend to leave sessions, early on, when it's obvious nothing will go my way.

It's always something that is peculiar. Going weeks without making any flushes. Getting KK vs AA once per 100 hands, for a week... and they ALWAYS hit a set. Obviously would be unnecessary rigging, but... it happens, and... it seems strange... (happened at least 3 times in a row).

Screen name and stakes?

I wouldn't mind being on the other end of this obvious ploy by Global to deplete your bankroll. And since you win still, I will have to adjust my strategy. Wait for KK or AA and shove, fold everything else.

I already knew before the session exactly what was going to happen. It happens every single time. It's groundhog day.

I'm winning around 40bb/100 over 80k hands. If I were to stick around in sessions that obviously aren't meant for me... I wouldn't win a hand before falling asleep. Obviously there must be a flip side. I don't trust that win rate.

Can either win some hands or doom switch all the way on. My win rate is a byproduct of simply minimizing hands during pure "rigged" against. Or, who knows... maybe I just legit have the "highest win rate."

Since you can predict the future with certainty all you need to do is adjust the stakes you play - lower when you know you will be losing, and higher when you know you will be winning. As you make millions you probably want to keep your special power as more of a secret instead of complaining about it, given that your ability to time travel can be used to produce massive wealth.

I guess I never understood people that whine about their situation, when they claim to have the ability to print money with their time travel/ability to predict the future based super powers. Makes little sense, unless of course their beliefs of their mystical abilities are invalid, but we all know that you truly have the gift of shifting time and dimensions as needed, so complain less and print money more!

All the best.

My God.

That's cute. Have you ever played NFL Blitz? You can continually deal "bad beats" to your opponent. Only caveat: you have to be losing. Not exactly the sweetest deal. Global poker feels like NFL blitz, if you were able to "cash out points."

Low stakes or not, I 10-12 tables, and probably have the highest win rate on the site, yet... you couldn't pay me to play certain days. Either destined to win or fumble anytime someone looks at you, while moving in quick sand.

I'm just saying that's the feel, whether paranoia, amazing coincidence or w/e have you. You can load up 10 tables, and within 10 minutes, on 6 of the tables people will be crying about bad beats that happened to you, while you've yet to say anything. It's pretty amazing. Never seen anything like it.

You've made it reasonably clear to many of us that you are incapable of being objective in the matter.

I finally got my chance to be on the other side of KK vs AA. Guy was only a little over half a stack, unfortunately, but we both flopped a set.

What is that, at least 4 in a row of aces flopping a set in pre allin vs KK? Nothing to see here. I can't think of 1 time my Aces lost to an under pair or vice versa. I've seen it once, though.

I would like to be "objective," but all I have are my experiences to go off. I'd be the happiest person to hear I haven't been playing NFL Blitz poker. I'd like to take more credit for my win rate, for sure.

I'd doubt you have the highest winrate. I thought I had a ridiculous ROI here but I know someone that took the $2 free cash and turned it into 4500 in less than three weeks. I know that for a fact as I have seen a dozen of his screenshots of the final LB.

What you, and most players, do not take into account here is that probably half of the players on the site do not know the first thing about poker and the "fold" button is completely alien to them. They are collecting their free cash and click "call". If only 10% of them chip up, it is a huge pool of fish. Unlike other sites, regs do not have extensive histories on opponents or the aid of software. That keeps many of them away, including the lack of rakeback, and many of the regs that are playing here lose an edge from not having any help from software.

It really isn't any different than all the sites were 10 years ago or more.

It can be like tiddlywinks, it does not matter, the point is if you know what will happen in advance then you can make a fortune exploiting it.

In the good old days there were those of us who discovered how much could be made through casino bonus whoring. It was a simple mathematical exercise, but the main unwritten rule was one should never talk about it, because once others learned how it worked then there would be too many people exploiting the system, and the system would change. The change was inevitable, but the goal was to delay it as long as possible.

In contrast people like you who could (pretending your paranoid crazy is valid) literally be the equivalent of a super user, but all you do is whine about meaningless bad beats and coolers (which help hide your super powers from detection, like cover play did for casino whores) instead of quietly exploiting the rig for riches.


Obviously you are deeply paranoid, but that is a different topic, one that I doubt anyone else cares much about. The point again would be that if your super human abilities were accurate then you should not be playing small stakes, rather you should take your nobody believes you win rate to the highest games and exploit the NFL Blitz style rig to make a fortune.

In the end it is about money, so if your rig requires you to lose say 10 bucks to make 20 bucks, or lose 1,000 to make 2,000 - its all good in the end, and that is all that matters (just like the old casino bonuses where one expected to lose some before the bonus payout). The only problem you will have is if your personalized crazy is not accurate, but that will be your issue.

All the best.

Its a bit off topic, but this is my feeling about Global as well. I enjoy the SNGs myself and some of the plays I see on the bubble of those can't be explained by anything but, "I click buttons".

SRSLY?

Even live $1/$2 isn't as loose and full of donators as ot used to be. But if GP is like you say, might be time for this microstakes semi-rec to give it a shot. Sick of the mega-tabling nits on Stars.

Yes, the guy is very much a micro rec player, too. He thought it was a joke the run was so surreal. He requested 1500 back, got it the next day, and is now in a deep relationship with the site, lol. It's like Party Poker was 12-15 years ago. Definitely worth a shot.

Don't listen to him. All of you solid players out there, he's making this up. The site's not that good. Lots of regs. The software installs ransomware on your computer. They kill baby seals. VPIP'ing less than 20 summons Cthulhu. Just stick to megatabling Stars.

+1 this site is very tough

No danger of that from --> this guy <--

I checkraised once. A few minutes later someone started pounding on my front door. I finally went to the door and it was a guy holding a pizza box. I opened the door to tell him he probably had the wrong address. He threw the pizza box in the air and when I looked up at it he sacktapped me and ran away. The pizza box was full of hornets and that was a whole thing.

The next time I checkraised, a few minutes later I smelled something funny, and must have blacked out. When I came to I was still in front of the monitor, so I shrugged it off and kept playing. Five days later I received via post a picture of some guy in a global poker t-shirt laying sack on my mouse.

Don't play there. These people are weirdly obsessed with testicles.

Awesome. If you have a blog, please post it here, I need more of this. If you don't have a blog, start one and then post it here. That was excellent.

Ever since they've changed the software or w/e, I've lost 15 buy-ins in around 1,500 hands in holdem. Every single hand is a bad beat. Every single hand. If one were to post this stuff to youtube, no one would ever play this site.

Within a 3 minute span, I went all-in on the turn with a made hand and lost 3x to flush draws. Gave them horrible odds. I'm dealt AQ. Flop comes QQ9. Guy goes all-in and goes runner, runner for a flush.

I can't even remember all of the bad beats that are occurring within a couple minutes. Instances of a hand holding up in over the 1,500 hands? Instances of making a flush? Try zero. Time for a new site.

This rig job makes PLO look like there is zero variance. Last session, I was able to get a ton of money in pre with AA, and the guy made two pair with 83... The guy had 10 buy-ins at the table, PLAYING LIKE THAT. You're sitting there, playing optimal in all spots and can't win a hand, meanwhile these guys are trying to lose, yet... every day is a lucky day. Go figure.

My god this thread is aids...

I would love to see an unedited video of a session where this is happening.
