Are some people saying that they take more out than what the advertised cap is and the rake information on the site isn't correct??
As the pot gets pushed toward the winner, rake deduction can be seen for a short moment.

A lot of people in general don’t talk about the site, as they’re trying to keep it in the low due to how soft it is. With that said, it does need to be looked into deeper in a few areas. For how high the rake is, we should receive answers to basic questions and inquiries such as bots, transparency with tracking our ledger, Hh , etc.

Yeah some internet video blogger took ACR down.

I agree it would be nice to see the rake somewhere during or after the hand is played, or it called out specifically in hand history. You can do the math (everyone's favorite I know) and make sure it is correct in the hand history, and so far I haven't seen more than the rake cap being charged.

One person said it happened to them once in the forums, if my memory serves correct and since then I haven't heard anything. I have watched my hands pretty carefully when I am hitting rake caps and haven't noticed any disparities.

Of course that is all just anecdotal and doesn't prove they haven't done something they shouldn't. It likely would be difficult to catch due to it not being called out in hand histories or in the actual hand itself as you have stated. But for what it is worth, I haven't noticed any issues, and have been here over a year. And I also haven't seen any threads gain traction on the topic either, since I got to 2+2 last May. So I think the caps are working correctly, but I could also very well be wrong.

Sometimes auto-rebuy in cash games is a little odd. First off, would be nice if it topped off without having to go below 95 bb first. But more importantly:

There have been times where I lose a pot and the next hand is dealt before topping off (when for sure it should, stack well under 95 bb).

Would be frustrating to lose a hand and then get aces with a half stack.

Global's tech team is the worst. Since day 1 they've done nothing about the two most annoying aspects of the software:
1 - No God damn way to sit out/in all tables. A feature that every site in the world has.
It's literally impossible just to go to the bathroom if you're playing more 4 tables, let alone 12.
2 - When the check or fold pop up shows up and you click check the mother ****ing table closes!!!
How can Global be so incompetent not to address either of these?!

Because they honestly don't give a **** about improving the software in ANY way.

Totally forgot about auto rebuy only working about 80% of the time.

Well it’s 3rd party software so they’re limited in their capabilities.

Big +1

Make the clickable area on the slider larger. One must be super precise with their mouse for a click to register. Especially if a table is made smaller than default.
03-20-2018 , 06:37 PM
Make more emoticon options and make them stay up for a couple more seconds when selected. So they're noticeable longer on the screen

The fun and rec players love the entertainment aspect of them!!!
03-20-2018 , 08:53 PM
agree! they should stick for like 10-15 seconds

This finally happened to me last night - lost a big pot, then got aces with only a quarter stack. Very frustrating!

+1. Please fix these.

Also, a "check/fold" button would be nice, instead of just a "check" or "fold" buttons. Would make playing the big blind with more than one table way easier, especially on mobile.

I think there is a fix for this. I was watching this dude stream on Twitch and before he stuck all his money in the middle on big hands, he would click on something (not sure which button, hopefully you do) to ensure he tops up to the max immediately following the hand just in case he lost. I'll look more into this when I play my session tonight.
03-21-2018 , 04:45 PM
Yeah, you can click on your avatar to top up. I usually do this with small pots, but it's easy to get distracted with a big one. Shouldn't have to do it manually at all though....

Still getting those two related tournament glitches:

- When you're in the SB and the BB is all-in for less than .5BB and somebody limps it auto checks your SB. This can be quite the big deal depending on the situation.

- When BB is all-in blind with less than 1bb, his listed stack number doesn't change. So it looks like the BB has twice the stack that he actually does. This can also change things quite a bit in SnG play.

You have to, like, change your strategy in these spots to account for this. For instance, any time where busting a v short player in the BB is super valuable, raising light at all is a blunder and you should limp super wide. It's really easy to forget about this when you're playing a bunch of tables.

We've talked about these before, just wanted to remind the powers that be. Seems like it should be an easy enough fix, but what do I know ...

I've read that Global uses third-party software. That fact might significantly slow down glitch-repair.

This x infinity, especially for SnG/MTT. It's a win for the players and the site. I get that from GP's perspective they don't want one-tabling people to get bored waiting for a reg to fold pre, but many more table$ would run overall, and there's still a cap on how many any individual can play with the short timebank.

That's a good point, although they did eventually get the mute/unmute button fixed, so I'm assuming they can exert some kinda control over "their" software.

I think with all of these stories about paypals getting shutdown from dealing with global or for whatever reason. I think global needs to offer another way to cash out funds. If your PayPal gets banned there needs to be an alternate way to get your money.
03-24-2018 , 08:09 PM
Will there ever be a way to track tournament results via Pocket 5s or some other way?
