Global is slowly developing into a pretty decent site. They obviously have some problems and have done some questionable things such as letting players into the $10k Freeroll that didn't earn entry.

Some things I'd like to see addressed.

Rake- There is no reason rake needs to be capped at $3 while players play heads up or short handed. We are trying to start games and are getting penalized for it. I've played several good players heads up trying to get games started and it's a losing proposition.

Rewards- The freerolls are good. But they're getting worse. More players qualifying and it's value has gone way down. It's also annoying that we have to play a tournament to see a return on our CASH GAME play. I hate tournaments. The structures are pretty bad and it's a waste of time.

Surely something can be done to give CASH GAME players CASH rewards. I think we'd all prefer this method.

Table Buy Ins- 10 BB buy in's are extremely annoying. Those of us that understand how to play poker have to tighten our range and play differently. No other US facing site allows for a 10bb buy in. While 99% of the players that do buy in for 10bb are brain dead those that aren't actually have an advantage of having such a short stack in a cash game. It needs to be raised to 20bb.

There are obviously many other issues but these are the ones that stood out the most to me and I'd like to see them be fixed.

These should all be a bigger priority than adding Omaha H/L or Razz etc.

100% agree with entire post.

Playing heads up against any decent player is a huge waste of time. The money is sucked out of the game at a tremendous pace.

Just to inject some clarity for Global so there's no confusion... he's saying the cap should be lower, which is a standard practice. Like $1 cap when playing heads up, $2 cap 3 or 4 handed, $3 cap for 5+ players.

Good suggestions.

Exactly. Players that start games are being punished by the rake. Rake needs to be different when a game is heads up, 3-4 handed and 5+ and not a flat $3 cap. If I play 10 $60+ hands at $1/$2 while heads up and waiting for more players we are paying $30 over the course of just ten hands. Luckily there are a lot of mouth breathers but I have to sit out when players come and sit with their $20 because a few hands in and half their stack is eaten by the rake or they bust or rathole a few dollars.

I'm OKAY with the 10bb thing at 2c-4c up to 10c-20c. As the stakes go up it really ruins the games.
