provide downloadable hand histories for cash games & tournaments.
10-12-2017 , 01:33 PM
Sorting tournaments by number of players has stopped working.

In the link there will be something that looks like this in the URL..... /ophand/.. remove the op portion so it reads /hand/ only.. try and let me know if that works it did for me.

Above... This is reference to all those that are having a problem with getting some hand history to play.

Question for Global Rep... A friend of mine on global sent me a screenshot of a player that was busted out on the hand prior to break and add-on. The player had zero chips yet after the add-on was over he had 7000. My friend contacted Global support who informed him that this player did a double rebuy and then a 3000 chip add-on. I have seen the email from support but it does not give any details how to do a double rebuy.
Can you explain.

Don't you enjoy the feeling when you knock a shortstack donk off the table and a full stacked fish takes his place?

MTTs!

Late Registration
It doesn't have to be insane like ACR, but an hour or so seems reasonable. When I hop on to play, I want to fire up more than 1 tourney and not have to wait for the next one to start, then wait 15 minutes for the next one (which may or may not be a game/stake I like to play.).

Higher Guaranteeds
Not sure if Global doesn't think they can attract enough players for higher gtd prizepools, but it's kind of a chicken and egg thing. Higher gtd prizepools attract more MTT players. Late reg should also help attract more players to tournaments since there will always be one open they can jump into.

Faster Structures for low buy-in and late night tournaments
Pretty self explanatory but, since the player pool at Global is probably primarily US, I think most/all MTTs that start after a certain time at night should be of the turbo variety. I avoid MTTs that have a good probability of keeping me up past a certain time. The other part of this is a personal preference, but I just don't think most micro tournaments need long structures. I don't like playing for 3 hours to cash for $2.

Some way to see past results
I just need to be able to see a log of my past tourney results. Keeping a log going while I'm trying to play kind of sucks.


Not MTT Related, but settings:
I have to redo my settings every time I log into Global Poker. Just remember them!

Late Reg - I am a fan of how there isn't late reg, and I think you will find a fair number of people that feel the same way I do about late reg. With that said, I also completely agree it would bring in more entries. But I like the fact it isn't on this website, and having it will for sure impact my tournament entry decisions.

Higher GTDs - For the Eagle Cup it seems the GTDs are being smashed, but I will point out this isn't the case in all tournies on Global, and for sure hasn't been the case for any tourney on Global for longer than a couple of months. It used to be ALL tourneys that had GTDs had overlays. So I can't fault Global that on this series they are exceeding what they have put up as GTDs. With that said, when the next series rolls around you will hear a different tune from me if they aren't increased.

Faster structures on late tourneys - I am on the East Coast, so that sounds good to me, but I wonder how a West Coast player would feel about it. So I won't agree completely because I could hear an argument the other way as well.

See past results - 100% agree. Even if it is a simple, entry and cashed screen, that would be enough for me.

Settings - My settings are remembered, what setting are you referring to that isn't staying for you? That might be a bug of some kind that needs supports attention.

or at all like when its my turn to act. I checked my setup and settings and turned off the music today and it still seemed muted relative to yesterday. Like the sound notifications were almost useless i had to watch everything. I could hear them, but barely and i didnt see a volume bar in settings just on or off? Playing from a desktop on chrome.

Anybody else or just me?

This definitely needs to be addressed. I have the audio turned up as loud as possible on the table and can barely hear it with background noise. Make the title bar flash or something, if you have several tables up and running you cannot distinguish which table and when it is time to go.

This is correct - based on players advice we have made this change.

Would definitely be interested in a nightly 4-max tournament

Used to play the 4max cash tables a lot before they were removed and the recent eagle cup ones were a lot of fun

When I open 4 tables in the original browser (not in a new window) I cannot see the notes feature when I open it for the bottom two tables.
10-19-2017 , 02:23 AM
What is the best browser to use? I am using firefox and the firefox boarder at the top makes the tables really small if I open the tables in a new window.

Yeah that happens to me occasionally in Firefox, although I haven't figured out how or why. I just close firefox and reopen and the problem tends to go away. I use firefox on one computer and chrome on another computer. I can't say one or the other is better or worse, they seem about the same to me.
