Check/Fold button would save so much time and Global would rake money so much faster.

So it's a win win.

ya i like that one too, it's good for people like me that dont quite multi table as much as they could, we can pick up on those who who use that btn and steal a lotta pots with minbets.

Options to set your raise a % of the pot. Example would be instead of 1/2 pot, you can manually set your own for whatever percentage you want.

Quoting to reiterate the dire need for this.

I just started playing here. This is the number one thing this site needs. I see all upside and no downside to it. Nobody likes slow play. Not the regs, not the recreational players, and not the site. More hands/hr = more rake for you. This will allow actions to happen faster.

Does anyone know if reps from the site are active here?

The rep (Joey) is active. But, GP licenses the software, they don't own nor write it.

I'm not sure how quickly any of the software improvement suggestions could be implemented even if they wanted to make them.

Hey all - What do you think about adding a level in Sit N Gos between the 30/60 and 60/120 levels? Or making the levels 30/60 - 50/100 - 75/150 and getting rid of the 60/120. The way it is now makes Sit N Gos very shallow immediately past the 30/60 level. Thoughts?

A number of players including myself have complained to Global about their SNG structure. Until around last November I think it was, they had a "normal" blind structure. Don't know why they changed it, but since they did I play far fewer SNG than I used to.

Is it possible to list the starting stacks in the lobby of each tournament? When it is a re-buy MTT it tells you how many chips for a rebuy. I mean it list the blind structure but not the starting stack? Can this be added? I mean the Grizzly Games the starting stacks varied quite a bit. Some started with 2,000, some with 3,300, some with 5,000, and now the main events start with 10,000. It would be nice to know before registering

The rebuy tournaments kind of mention it in the description, when it talks about rebuys and addons, but I agree, they could all use one more field entry over to the right that says "Starting stack"

Husngs please? Games should have fine liquidity (only 2 to run!) and would be a great addition to the site imo.

Biased as a husng player, but would be great to see some added here.

I like your rec of 30 to 50 to 75. 30 to 60 is indeed a big jump. Also a 1500 stack at 60/120 is more awkward to deal with than a 1500 stack at 50/1.

Man I don't know, during peak hours that would be cool, but games >20+2 struggle to run during non-peak hours and I don't want to split the player pool even further. Nearly impossible as it is to get 6+ games at all the stakes 22+ after 3AM or before about 3PM or so.

I like HUSnGs too, but I don't want to hurt the 6m and 9m games.

There has been a lot of converstation in the past about HUSNG and HU Cash tables. They used to have the later, and then killed them.

As of so far it seems Global's position is they aren't going to do HUSNGs. The pros and cons have been debated, but so far it seems they aren't going to put them in the SNG rotation.
02-12-2018 , 10:41 PM
The hyper turbo 6 max sng has a rake of 7%. This is higher than other sites. Ignition has 5%. I am not sure about other sites. I love playing them but....

Holy crap! They just changed the Sit N Go structures to nearly what I suggested. I know I had nothing to do with it, but imma take credit for this one ya'll.

Peace!

Haha ya good job buddy we appreciate it well done! GL GL! I just looked at em, much much better I'm a happy fella. The addition of the level and slight change in blind structure should make them play and feel much better, like worth playing again!

Im wondering if this is the same old structure before the changes, it might be with the only difference now being 8 not 10 min levels in the non turbs. I don't have records of the structures before the changes in 10/13.

Thanks GP!

Its super close if I remember correctly. The blinds are now 8 mins, and they used to be 10, but I also think 20/40 used to be the starting level back in the day as well. You also only started with 1000 in chips and now you get 1500. I think the BB used to go 40->80->150->200->300. So I would agree, it looks like the play is pretty close and maybe even a little bit more than it used to be back in the early days of Global.

ya i remembered the old 1k starting stack after posting last night. Shhh about maybe even more play then there used to be but I agree.

Side note - as Im watching a couple now I had to turn the sound DOWN on my cpu, that's never happened before with GP. Maybe they turned it up as people have been asking, myself included. I see they also added $150 6max hypers and $200 6max turbs I wonder what other changes were made if any.

Awesome changes to the SNG strucrures. Now I can play them again and hopefully resurrect my ROI.
Thanks for listening Global!

Structure change question? I should know this since I play so many of them but looking at the blind structures in the Mtt's it appears they added more blind structures to them also. Can anyone confirm this? Last thing is it would be nice if Global would put out a press release of the changes that were made so we don't have to discover them.

But then we wouldn't be able to speculate wildly which is pretty much the spice of life.

All that said, it looks the same to me, but I wouldn't bet money on it either.
02-14-2018 , 04:16 PM
have tab for mtt showing how many people left in mtt so i do not have go to lobby to check it

give more chips for addon since the blind has increased so much. it is not worth to addon currently.
02-15-2018 , 12:46 AM
Could we add 3-max tables? I know were never getting HU, but some kind of shorthanded action would be great.

+1

I'm back to playing lots of SNG's! Thanks GP and all the players who expressed their disapproval of the previous ill-fated structure!
