I started the hand with 2.5x the amount of chips more than the third place finisher and as such I should get the full 2nd place prize instead of half.

I just read the most recent posts and I see that other players have the same issues as me. Is global poker going to correct this as this policy seems very counterintuitive and silly.
Nomediocre420, you are correct that this particular issue is a "feature" of Global. I call it a "feature" not because I think is good or bad, but it is for sure a decision that Global has made. Its been in the software now since February when I started playing here at least, and likely since the site started.
What I would encourage you to do (any anyone else that doesn't like this "feature") is to send an email to Global support expressing your concern. The more emails that are generated on the topic, the more Global will need to listen and address it.
And lastly I would encourage you, now that you know about this "feature", is understand what implications it can have on your play in the future.
With that said, I am in complete agreement, this "feature" is non-standard in the poker industry, at least in my experience, no where I have played, live or online, has done it this way.
