Go into pro mode and your tables will come up in separate windows. Click on the multitable button in the lobby window and they will tile for you and cover the lobby window including your balance.

I didn't read all 83 pages of 'Improvements' so sorry if these are rehashed a million times:

1. Rebuy - why do I need to be in a hand to rebuy, I should be able to rebuy while playing at any time.

2. Auto reload - why doesn't this work? I've set the settings to every possible combo and it doesn't reload my stack when it goes below any amount so I'm stuck with crappy #1

3. Check/Fold - what a joke. If I check this box and there are 2 players in a row and one checks, my Check/Fold becomes Check and the next player bets I have manually go Fold. This sucks for multi tabling, I already made my decision, it should STILL be check/fold no matter the decision of one of the previous players.

4. It's Free to Check NAG box. I know, I really know its free to check BUT I WANT TO FOLD. Don't nag me. This needs an option to turn off. See #3, when multi tabling I want to finalize my decision on the other table and I don't need some dialog popping up to remind me its free to fold. I made my decision no matter how poor of one it might be.

4. Player notes sync - if I'm playing the same player on multiple tables and I update a note, it doesn't show on the other table. What happens if I update the other note?

5. Rake - playing heads up or 3 handed...unwinnable rake, why doesn't it adjust if you start a new table. Within 15 minutes we're both down a significant amount of our buyin. I see no incentive to start a table at all if the rake is so high. This is like a double whammy on the already terrible rake at GP.

6. Hand replayer - Can we just add an option to go to the end of the hand? in 99% of the cases I need to just see the players hands so I can review what they had. Yes, I could use Hand History, but I tile tables and I need the pop out which that doesn't provide.

All make a lot of sense to me which means Global won't do anything about it. The auto-rebuy has been beyond broken. Nothing more annoying then getting a hand, but I have 20 bbs due to their **** site not auto topping up. Rake and hand replayer some of the worst in the world.

Looks like progressive buy-ins are a winner. How about adding them to 90 man sngs?

Why do people care a lot about the gold coins, and also winning gold coin tournies? I see tweets often about people winning gc trophies and I can’t wrap my head around it lol.

The lack of hand-for-hand makes PLO tournaments especially brutal and has turned me off from them. It is not solely to blame for the amount of stalling that happens in these (structure, closer pre-flop equities, etc.) but it is still frustrating. They seem to get halfway decent traffic anyway, so I could be in the minority here

dat feel when 10 hours goes by and 2 SNGs over $60 have run

Sometimes when the fold or check window appears and I close that window, one of my other tables (not the table where the fold or check window appeared) Closes right away too. I multi table so I don’t know the name of the table that closed and often times even when I do, someone else takes my seat right away And table is full. It’s the worst when you’re in the middle of a big hand. Not sure why it does this. It might happen 20% of the time. Usually the rest of the time I close that fold or check windows that appears, none of the tables close.

I use old felt if that matters. Could never get used to new felt
08-29-2020 , 08:02 PM
disadvantage of old felt -- you get WAY less timing tells and WAY harder to tell if someone is using auto fold/checkfold buttons
08-30-2020 , 03:43 AM
New felt design is the worst thing I have ever used. It just can't be said enough.
08-30-2020 , 09:31 AM
I haven't been playing on the site long, and started on the new felt, but I really don't get the love for the old felt. To me it's way too busy.

Saw this comparison of deposit bonuses on the right side of CardPlayer's odds calculators. Given some discussion (here or other threads) recently about declining player pools, promotions etc, this looked pretty amusing

Americas Cardroom: 100% up to $1,000
Bovada Poker: 100% up to $500
BetOnline: 100% up to $1,000
Global Poker: $20 Gold Coins
Ignition Casino: 100% up to $1,000
Black Chip Poker: 100% up to $1,000
Sports Betting Poker: 100% up to $1,000

David Lyons, some months ago now, mentioned increasing the daily log-in bonus from the paltry $3.10 per week in the near future. That has yet to materialize.

Rakeback for cash games? Or leaderboard race? $500 daily freeroll isn't really inspiring to cash game players.

Vertical table mode for mobile. Customizable bet sizes for buttons/slider. Similar to BetOnline.

Anyone try this prepraid debit card option for cashing out? How do you upload funds onto the card?
09-05-2020 , 10:27 PM
SUPER HYPED they have bitcards to cash out now tbh. Been wishing for BTC cash outs for a while.

the card company charges ~10% in "processing fees" when you send the BTC on the card to a wallet FYI. I got one in like 4 hrs from requesting a cashout so the speed was worth it to me.
09-05-2020 , 11:33 PM
Yeah I know, but I dont mind it for smaller purchases tbh. Just to be able to add to long term holdings through cash outs of something im sure will appreciate >10% pretty much no matter what long term. I LOVE IT. Haha.

Here's a really screwed up BUG Global has:

Multi table, leave all your tables, meaning use the exit door icon and LEAVE.
Close the browser.
Open a new browser, log into Global.

You are AUTOMATICALLY resat at all your previous tables. What the holy gopher poop kind of developers do they have there?
09-07-2020 , 05:28 PM
The alert that tells us how much we are up or down at a cash table is pointless when our SC balance refreshes on the upper right corner of the screen, and it blocks our view of hands at showdown.

Also, why do we have to wait until after the turn to view PLO hands that are all-in?
