just go to nvg and see how amayastars operrates you will see the copy/pasted bus model that gp is trying to run. I think we all know at this point theres a reason we have not heard form them for so long, holidays or not. They are figuring how to react to the player base that is a whole lot smarter and more aggro than they thought they were trying to serve.

Didn't ask you for your opinion on GP or amayastars, we all know your opinion already. I thought you left this site, for good this time, so why are you still posting here? Why are you derailing threads? Seriously, you need help.

Global has it's problems for sure, I find myself frustrated with them more often than not lately, but there is not some big conspiracy or plot going on.

I am posting here because I would like for gp to make changes to their structures and rakes for everybodys best interest, and i dont care about your opinion in case you were wondering. You have identified and exposed yourself as a clueless troll last cpl days well done. You are entitled to your opinion, same as I am.

I haven't been reading the forum lately, so I can't say one way or the other. But it wouldn't be the first time the forum reps disappeared for a time. In fact the first time it happened I started a thread myself titled where is support?

That doesn't mean there's something nefarious going on. It's unprofessional, and a bad look for the site imho to have support disappearing from this forum for extended periods. But while it reflects poorly on their business, it's not evidence of some evil empire conspiracy.

I will go ahead and make the jump and disagree with you, I think at best they are EXTREMELY incompetent all know thats unlikely, there is a reason why they act how they do? Stupid maybe, nefarious, more likely.. Why does Gp get a moral pass after all we have been through and what they have done?

This isn't the thread to discuss this. But I'll bite. What have they done that's immoral?

You've been on and on about the rake, which isn't immoral in the least. Raising the rake in the high stakes games without announcing as such isn't immoral either, although it's certainly a horrific business decision and yes, probably incompetent.

You've also been on and on about their introduction of hyper-turbo sng's iirc, saying it's shady somehow and those games are unbeatable. But the truth is those are a game format many sites have and people want, they are absolutely beatable, and offering them isn't immoral in the least.

They are raking them too high, they are raking short handed games too high, and raking high stakes cash too high. This is all imo but also an opinion supported by what the industry at large offers. But people still play. I think $7.50 for a bucket of popcorn at the movies is outrageous, especially considering the food cost for that popcorn is about .25c at best. Yet the movie theaters can charge that much because people line up to buy it.

I disagree with a number of the moves GP have made, I think a number of things they have done are bad business, and I think much of it stems from a lack of understanding of the poker industry and poker in general. But I do not think anything evil empirish is going on nor do I see anything that suggests global has morality issues.

I'll reply n detail tomorrow but good reply i can respect that. U already agreed with the part i find in question, another fact is nobody has generated a lager enogh sample to see if the hypers are actually beatable, a week or a month is not a reasonlable sample size for volume math #S on gp, not enough games run at a time to have generated a reasonable sample size? Has jaredpoker or poker12 played 5k games of hypers yet, not even close lol. Imaa learn yall watch
