How about fully adjustable filters for both, save automatically when you are logged out?

Please fix table tiling. Put the setting on the table where every other setting is and make it so that it tiles correctly

The splash of free monies on the cash tables is lots of fun! Can't be cheap either. Thanks Global!

Anyone having issues with multi-tabling since they got rid of the old felt? It's super laggy now and I timeout all the time.

Running good for me. I have noticed that running in 'pro mode' with individual windows for tables uses much less resources on my computer.

Maybe try it both ways, see if either way helps.

miss having a normal sit out button.

Global needs a filter in the main lobby for tournies that I have a ticket for.

I would also like an option to keep different filter settings for each tab (cash/sng/mtt)

I would like to have option to see my stack as Big Blinds (BB) instead of SC

I love global and have played more tournaments there than almost anyone but the new felt makes it almost unplayable for me. Hard to multi-table more than 4 which greatly decreases the amount of rake I pay.
08-18-2021 , 11:42 AM
when playing 4 or more tables i tile them, then slightly decrease their size by dragging the corner of the window inward slowly til it hides the chat box and the bet slider is now vertical along the right side of the window.

i can see the bet amount better and feel like i can see my cards better as well.

How many people at 50 or 100NL are using HUDS or have stats on people?

There are no HUDs allowed on Global or any meaningful hand history, so every person with useful stats or a HUD is doing do outside the rules of the site, and from personal experience I feel comfortable estimating <5% at those stakes, probably way less

Haven’t been here in a while but is global shrinking? Especially the mtts? The only thing I can see worth playing are the flagship tourneys on Sundays. The $11, $22, and $55 levels are terrible guarantees on every day of the week. I know they only service U.S. and Canada but there are bigger tourneys on some of the regulated sites that only serve a few U.S. states. Was about to put some money back on the site but can’t justify doing that after looking at the schedule…….or lack there of

Bad beat jackpot with no extra rake taken!

They have a high rake so this is just a form of rake back imo.

I personally think instead of the splash, a bad beat jackpot would be more popular for the rec player.

I dunno how recs feel but as a winning/serious player I think splash pots are more fun than BBJ. BBJ is just too rare of an event.

If they eliminate(d) the dormant account clause in their TOS then I would deposit. That's pretty much the only thing that's keeping me from playing and recommending them. Such a garbage policy.

Actually I think there was at least one other thing I didn't like but I can't remember what it was now.

Yet another interesting promo from GP! An SC 30,000 guaranteed freeroll that REQUIRES entry via promo satellite tournies. I'm not a tourney player, but I like this format and plan to try for an entry!

Appreciate the feedback on the Amplifier.

The Sweeps expiry policy one of the many *many* things required to operate a sweepstakes promotional offering. We email every single player impacted multiple times in advance, and all they have to do is login.
09-12-2021 , 11:38 AM
Does it have to be just 90 days though? Couldn't they take a year to expire instead?

This should really be made clear to players. A lot of recs think it is a money grab and see it as very shady.

I know you send out a weekly email to players, might be good to list some of the issues directly connected to sweepstakes conformity. I'd guess few players know sweepstakes rules and it would help calm concerns.

Simple banner line reminding players to login or even an auto bot one created 80 days into no activity with it in the subject line.

Glad you mentioned it here...

I've been enjoying the Micro Thunder III Series but I'm concerned about "deep stacked" tournaments.

Last Sunday, the Deep Stacked PKO tournament started with 10k chips, 30/60 [0] blinds/antes that increased every 10 minutes. Starting with 166bb and 111 orbits worth of chips. Not bad.

Looking at this Saturday's PKO I see 5k chips, 10/20 [0] blinds/antes that increase every 10 minutes. We start with 250bb and 166 orbits worth of chips. This is way deeper than the tournament advertised as deep stacked PKO, despite having less chips.

Forgive me if I'm doing the "old man yells at clouds" thing, but it feels weird to have shallower stacks play in a tournament advertised as deep stacked.

Level Standard Deep
------ ---------- ------
1 250bbs 166bbs
2 125bbs 125bbs
3 83bbs 100bbs
4 50bbs 83bbs
5 33bbs 66bbs
6 25bbs 50bbs
7 17bbs 33bbs
8 13bbs 25bbs
9 10bbs 20bbs
10 8bbs 17bbs

Above is the starting stack in terms of BBs for Global's "standard" MTTs (like the PKO on Saturday that you mention) and their "deep" MTTs. Clearly the "deep" MTTs have a better structure with the exception of the first level.

Well said and fair point.

I'm now more glad I cut last night's session short and got more sleep.

Hand histories that can be download with only hero’s name showing, make them where they can imported into poker tracker or Holden manager.

Last night, I played the 9:44 pm (CT) Quick Eleven $1 satellite. I finished 2nd, top 3 get a ticket and are auto-registered.

However, it put me into the $11 Bounty series tourney that had started 45 minutes earlier instead of the Quick Eleven, which ran as normal, according to the tourney lobby. I did send a message to support but their response was

"Upon checking, the Quick Eleven Satellite [All-In], 3 Seats Guaranteed (6163abe16111ae060efec0c2) is configured to auto-register the winners to the target tournament which is the Bounty Series 4-L SC 5,000 Guaranteed [Bounty].

We suggest checking the tournament description from the main lobby before registering in any satellites games."

I did check the description to include the satellite TITLE (QUICK ELEVEN) - but in any event I have closed it and will have to see tonight exactly what it says in the description. I don't want any reimbursement - I played the late reg tourney and bounced pretty quick - but if nothing else the satellite name should be changed.
