Read up on the bot ring the players uncovered in Jan. The only thing that's really changed since then is the KYC requirements bc of the Worldpay changeover. This isn't really a deterrent and will just incentivize botters to play higher

I have been paid out several times from GP due to this. And we don't know what they are and are not doing because they are not transparent. I can tell you this - I went from a good winrate over huge samples to **** in the past year. Not sure what is going on but something is def fishy. I would expect my winrate to be rather good with some of the all-ins these guys get into but for some reason it is not. I can tell you that it certainly feels like I am getting in good at a decent clip but always running horribly. Sucks cause I cannot see my statistics to identify it.

There are certainly some better players at every level but those are not who I am speaking about. There are players who are limping, passive fish one day and aggressive reg-like players a few days later. And this is happening quite frequently. It does not add up. Humans arent passive fish one day then solid regs the next. Nits dont all-of-the-sudden call 3x cold-4bets with 97s and nail boards.

The facts I do have are: I am not losing. I am not winning. I am getting in big pots where player types are not holding true to what they usually are -and- they are playing the circumstances perfectly.

I was on ACR a few years back and there was something really fishy going on that I could not put my finger on. I was always under EV. I bought 3million+ hands and had huge samples on every player, yet those players were not sticking to those stats. I would 3bet BB vs MP open and a nit (w/ 69F3B) would call with A9o and stick an Ace OTF then play it perfectly. This type of thing would happen out of nowhere. I would not be 3betting insanely high numbers. Couple years after I left ACR the bots are called out by chicagojoey.

Global Poker feels the same as ACR when I left. Running way under EV (or at least it feels like it but I cant see cause I dont have a graph), games seem fishy but weird **** is happening, etc. It is all too much for me to continue to waste time playing on GP. Who really knows? Maybe it is bots? Maybe I just suck? I would like to think not as I practice with a GTO trainer constantly and have worked with solvers for years to build and understand exploitative strategies.

can global look into this, talked with some other players who are also experiencing this. thanks

well just downloaded opera, seems to be working just fine, guess just an issue with chrome

the daily seven k guaranteed just crashed. how do i get refunded?

I can confirm. No idea on refund. I sent in a support ticket. Pending.

We can confirm that something went wrong with tonight's SC$7K tournament and we are already in the process of compiling the list of affected players. We apologize for the inconvenience and we thank you for your understanding regarding this matter.

ok thank you

I haven’t played on global in awhile. Do they have synchronized breaks for tournaments yet? If not, has it been discussed if they are going to add them?

No they do not have synchronized breaks. Yes it has been discussed by a few players but Global has basically ignored all discussions of it. So I'm assuming they are not going to add it. I wish they would, I never realized how important that little 5 min break every hour was until I started playing on global.

Sunday Tourny's:

$10 5k gtd, deep stack, no rebuys/addons, 30-60 min late reg if needed

$5 3k gtd, deep stack, no rebuys/addons, 30-60 min late reg if needed

i may join or may not, after the tourny crashing last night im very hesitant. good luck to you though!

DO I NEED TO SEND IN A SUPPORT TICKET?

When tiling with more than 2 tables you can't see the 4th card in PLO because it is covered by the buttons that allow you to tile.

Please fix!

press the control key and scroll up and down on your mouse wheel it will fix that

You wrote in all caps so no support ticket needed.

lol sorry sometimes i forget its on. guess i wont get refunded for a crashed tourney lol too much awesome!

since this is basically a non issuei guess?!! lol wtf! i think i may just quit global and go back to bet online. they just sent me a decent offer to get me to come back while global cant be bothered to deal with a crashed tournament. i need need the comps or lower rake but i do need good software. get on those synchronized breaks too!!!!! ill fill out a ticket and see how that goes....

Sending in a support ticket should have been step #1.

Please fix the lag. I've experienced lag everyday since whatever changes you've made this week.

The lag is annoying... having hand in the muck before having a chance to act. Being sat out multiple hands in a row even if i click the sit in.

I posted about this in another thread but perhaps this is a more appropriate thread.

On several occasions I have gotten a walk while in the BB and not been paid the proper amount. I'll get paid the antes if antes are in play, but not amount due to me from the SB.
Obviously it doesn't do this all the time, or very often at all. But it does happen. This needs to be fixed.

Use Googles DNS servers. No Lag here now.

how do i do that? edit:easy to do. hope it improves things. thanks!


Been doing some reading on this thread and apparently the issue with the blinds is well known. Do they just not give a $$$%?

I followed these instructions for windows:

Still lagging, maybe I'm doing it wrong. Saw people in chat complaining about the lag today.

$150GTD breakfast epiphanies hyper this morning. 3 players remaining, I'm in the BB. Get a walk. Only get paid the antes. This is BS! Great time to get robbed for 7,500 chips.
