I live in Santa Ana and also play on two other online poker rooms (although lately virtually all of my play has been on Global).

You a have a great weekend, too!

25 years of I.T talking here:

You cannot allow for a hand history export that will prevent HUDs. You can only come up with an export in a format not currently used.

Once you come up with a format, that format will be able to be extrapolated into an importer.

So if they really mean what they said, then they will never implement it.

If the player names are anonymous in the HH and locked for 24h I think that would do it.

If HH aren't published in real or near real time, yes. If they're real time than a combination of screen scraping and file reading will match players up with reasonable reliability.

Not the easiest method, mind you - but for serious poker money? Someone will put in the effort.

LOL sorry I singled out your post I thought his post was hilarious too.

If you were a botter or colluder in 2018 it would make sense to target the only site that doesn’t allow their player pool access to their hand histories. Global is creating an environment that makes it much more difficult for them to be caught. Being a smaller site they most likely aren’t allocating as much funding and personnel to security as some of their competitors either.

Looking at the hand history function and replayer on Global more, the rake payed is never shown within the software afaik. Every street in the replayer shows the full pot prior to rake. At the end of the hand it shows the full pot before rake being shipped to the winning player. So in order to tally it you would have to find the rake table on their site, do the math yourself and then compile the records of every hand during play or afterwards using the replayer. Essentially making it impossible for players to do so.

While my poker experience on Global has been quite favorable (Global is by far my favorite online poker site), I don't see myself ever depositing my own money on Global or any other poker site. I started with the free $2 and ran it up to just over $150, and now my balance is about $120. Basically, every time I play on Global it's a freeroll.

If the only tournament I play in is the $500 Bonanza ($.11 entry fee), and if my other play is $.02/.04 NLHE (I buy in for $1.20), I basically have almost 100 buy-ins to play with. I'd have to run pretty bad to lose 100 buy-ins!

Anyway, Global is da nutz!

Check the sites for US players thread. The ones previously mentioned as well as seals with clubs (very little action anymore) should all by available to Cali I believe. Acr you can run holdem manager or poker tracker on without an issue.

This is not the case for me unless something happened that im unaware of but.. I've also never heard anything like this. I've got accts on pretty much every network that accepts US based players, the only ones I can't play on are the ones that can't be played from anywhere in the USA like stars, 888 and party (not the NJ regulated ones).

It is nice to make withdraws too. I like you started with the free $2. Ran that up to $150. Cashed out $100 and kept the $50 on there till I run it up again to $150. I keep repeating, taking out $100 3 to 4 times a month. You should step up to 5c/10c. I mean, if ya want.

Maybe I'll take a shot at 5c/10c like you suggested.

Hi Admin,

We any closer to searchable hand histories with search parameters and stats?

To be in line with the industry, the gaming industry in general... offering players full access to searchable stats makes for more fun and total transparency.

I'd love to know how many times I've been dealt certain hands, won with others, lost with others.

Super easy to implement this.

So, this is coming... yes?

Certainly no player here would tell you they DON'T want that.

You're going to give the paying players what they want soon?

Thanks in advance.

Moved your post over here, because I have to assume that you didn't really intend to make that post as a reply to a 10 month old admin post about an entirely different subject.

Bobo, it may be a good idea to snip out the admin post regarding rake structure. It's no longer accurate and could give readers the false impression that it is current (https://globalpoker.com/page/rake).

(and then just delete my post if you do)

First off, that post isn't in this thread, or related to it. Secondly, it would be quite a job if we were to go through and alter posts where the facts had changed since they were posted. The nature of forum thread is that of a conversation, not a book, and I think most people understand that and don't assume older posts are always going to remain accurate, especially when more recent posts in that thread mention that the rake has changed and provide links. And finally, people may appreciate being able to refer back to what the rake used to be, as a comparison.

While I appreciate the suggestion and understand the sentiment behind it, I don't think it would be the right way to approach things.

I agree with this request. While we should not be able to download hand histories or even view how other players are playing, it would be nice to be able to track our own progress. Some nice little graphs and numbers like PT4 provides would be pretty dope.

I defer to your modness.

just finished another global session where my end balance could not possibly be correct yet there is no way to verify either way

global rep, what assurance can you give us that the ending balance is 100% correct 100% of the time? i hope that its obvious that your word in not enough in this case

+1. For what it is worth, I have never seen an issue with my balance, but I also think it is insane we can't see transaction history even from the tables. I know they know, that is how they give us those hourly pop-ups. So the information is there, and I don't see a way it could be used in a bad way.

I keep track of my balance by hand in a spiral-bound notebook. Not very "high-tech", but it works!

Yeah it doesn't work very well when you have auto-top off on and are playing lots of tables. Not providing a history of credits/debits of your account is downright negligent. I know you fangirl GP but this is a very basic request.

The problem comes in, and I am sure Gift and Curse will point this out, is when you use auto-top up and are sitting a bunch of tables. This isn't my style of play personally but others play this way. And I can imagine if you auto-top up and play 6 tables at once, keeping track of your balance would become extremely challenging.

Can a guy be a fangirl?

If you are looking for withdraws from the site, or purchase of Gold coins, Global does offer that. Withdraws are easily accessed in the menu on the home page before you hit the lobby. If you click your username, there is a history link, click that and you can see your cash outs. If you want to see your purchase history, they have a link to send a ticket to support for that info.

If you are looking for an audit of sessions from each table, agreed, Global does need to do this. I know they know, they give me that pop up each hour, reminding me that today I am awesome, or I suck at poker

what does everyone think of the threads in NVG by chicagojoey about WPN? And how it may or may not apply here? not asking splaya or adewd as we all know they post to post, Im asking everyone other than those two, and bobo can I share or can you share a link here? I was staked by monteroy's stable when I moved back to the US in 2013 for stts/mtts up to 20$ and i hated wpn so much I returned the stake and also got my account banned here for spazzing out badly about it.

I feel what's happening with wpn and chicagoJoey's reporting applies here to the discussion about the want/need for hh's or records of some sort being downloadable?
