Yes

As per the other suggestions previously, tables popping up when action occurs are with our dev team. I will ask about 'hide empty tables'

Not sure if this has already beed asked, but can we also get a 3/4 pot button?

Please fix the mute button!!!!!!!!!

+1, but with that said the Mute button does work, it just doesn't look like it works.

We still have that bug in MTTs/SnGs where when you have a short stack and raise a large amount that is not an all-in bet, that amount does not get subtracted from the player's stack until after his opponent acts.

I was playing a SnG, blinds were maybe 60/120, and a guy with a 700 chip stack raised to 500, and that 500 is out in front of the betting line but his stack still reads 700. Sometimes that messes me up when I have a lot of tables running.

Hi GP rep, really enjoy the site and refer as many people as I can to it.

How is this kosher? Even if they aren't cheating (I don't think they were), it looks INCREDIBLY sketchy to the players when they are sitting next to each other like this.

Two other questions:
- I plan on staying with my friend for a bit soon, we both play on global. If we are logging in from the same location/network will it be an issue? Or will the software prevent us from being on same tables, as bovada does? I don't mind if we are table blocked I just want to avoid issues with account security.

- Can the minimum buyin please be raised to 40bb? Or if that can't be implemented, maybe ban Bosluk instead? The one shortstacker harms the games a lot.

LOL 2.0

That's ****ing hilarious.

Also how long is the timer for a reset to a 100bb buyin? I've definitely gone to the gym, had a snack, started a session and then had to buyin for 300+bb. Pretty inconsistent/absurd to have such a stringent anti-rathole measure while allowing players to buy in for 20bb.

I wouldn't mind this if max buyins were deeper...otherwise don't see why buyin rules aren't in line with other sites.

LOL@ the screen names.

But if you don't think they are cheating why are you, essentially, ratting on them?

Why don't you just observe if they are in every pot together? Or if they play heads up against one another? Or doing anything suspicious besides having the same screen name?

And then in the same post you ask about playing in a friend's house? Possibly side by side?

You go from calling some guys out based on speculation only... to asking if you can do the very thing you're worried about!

Pretty impressive.

Edit: FWIW, I think all of it harmless unless you see something to be concerned about, but your post is pretty hilarious to me.

I have no intention of colluding with my friend I would like to win all his money. It is the opposite of collusion. I would avoid sitting at his table if it's against ToS. We wouldn't be playing side-by-side. Before I go there I would like to talk to the rep about this issue...if it risks our account to be playing simultaneously we would just not play at the same time.

I had a similar situation before where both my old roommate and I were playing on bovada a lot...there was no issue but the site just prevents you from playing on the same table.

I'm not even ratting on them, I've never seen anything like that in my life playing online poker and thought it was strange. If I were the site I wouldn't like it as it looks very sketchy.

Did you even read my post? I am not asking if I can sit at the same table with my friend. I just want to make sure we can both be on the site simultaneously. If we can be on the same table simultaneously (which I don't think should be allowed but w/e). Do you think if you go over your friend's house to play Sunday MTTs together it's the same as sitting at the same table with almost identical, self-referencing, screennames next to each other?

No I didn't read your post. I must have been responding to someone else.

I said you were going to collude? Did you read mine?

My screenname is DarkKnight17. Do you know why? Because DarkKnight was already taken. So if I happen to sit at that person's table, I should be worried that people might think it looks sketchy?

I already told you I thought all of the above scenarios were harmless, so I'm not sure why you typed a 600 word response defending yourself.

FIX THE GOD DAMN BUG WHERE THE WINDOW GOES BLACK WHEN THE STUPID "DO YOU REALLY WANT TO FOLD?" ALERT COMES UP

Not so thinly veiled brag post that you went to the gym.

To answer your question I believe the reset for a 100bb buyin is 2 hours, or 120 minutes - whichever is shorter.

From what I have seen in the forums I don't think the two of you will be able to play in the same tournaments. I am not sure about the cash tables. The Global reps are on their weekend now, so they are the people to ask, but they likely won't respond for a bit.

The min buyin used to be 10BB. Not sure how long you have been on the site, but short stacking has gotten a lot better. I doubt very seriously it will raise to 40BB anytime soon. And even if it did, where would be stop? Because then other people will get on and say, "Can we raise it to 50BB? These short stackers are just the worst" It is a bit of a race to the middle. And don't get me wrong, I like to sit with the max myself, but I also understand they want to allow people some choice in what they sit down with.

As far as the other stuff on the screen names, meh, they could be cheating, or it could be that 2.0 wanted the other guy's name, and found the guy who had it and figured he would sit the game with him finding it hilarious. With that said, if you do see things that look suspicious to you please do report it to Global. I think via the support email is probably the wisest there. It allows Global to see what is happening, without drawing public attention to it.

Neither of us play tournaments my question is about cash. We will probably just not sit same tables to avoid an issue but we don't want our accounts to get flagged if we're logging in from same network.

I don't think the Heavy guys were doing anything fishy (they were also both huge fish so please don't ban them), but if I were a rec and I saw that and I was just coming back to online poker after hearing all these horror stories about how it's rigged etc. it would make uncomfortable to see something like that at same table. The most likely thing that happened was they were hanging out and made accounts together and then sat at same table. Both of them were huge whales so plz don't ban them global.

The buyin structure was way worse when it was 10bb. Just because things are marginally better now doesn't mean they can't or shouldn't be improved. The other site I play on is 100-400bb buyin and it's 100000000x better.

Another issue I want to raise is how ridiculously toxic the chat can be since there's zero moderation. I'll admit guilty of engaging in really toxic chat too but it isn't a good thing and doesn't help the site grow. E.g. yesterday a reg told me "I hope a child you care about dies a horrible death" when my kings beat their aces and continued to spew stuff in the chat. I don't care about people saying stuff but if I was a rec being told them I would probably get turned off from the site.

I would be pretty happy if there was a way to not allow myself to chat. It's pretty amazing how tilty I can get in the chat playing online poker when I play 160 hours of live play a month for exponentially larger stakes and never let the standard variance of poker bother me or say anything to other players.

Strong mental game in live play does NOT equal strong mental game playing online.

Come on Global Poker. The Sunday tournament schedule lacks common sense. From 11:30- 1:30 PST, there are 10 tournaments that have a guarantee or $750 or more and then the rest of the day does not offer much.

Included in those 10 tournaments are the 4 Weekend Gold Challenge, the 500 flops freeroll, the 5k $100 buy in, and a couple of your other nice ones.

Please spread them out. People actually do like to play tournaments at other times of the day and recreational players do not want to play 8 tournaments at the same time. You are not making the guarantees on some of the gold coin challenges so I don't know what it could hurt. Until this is fixed I am done with the Gold Coin Challenge. Thanks for your consideration.

My 1st request for improvement is to allow chat functionality on mobile devices. It would be awesome if chat messages popped up over the avatar of the talking player like those cartoon speaking bubbles but I realize that's asking a lot.

In order to enter the weekend 10k gtd you need to play 200 gold coin flops..

So basically you have to play 200 play money flops?
Just making sure this is correct

The 10k which has 2 rebuys and an add on yes, the 5k Deepstack no. And they both start within 15 minutes of each other.

Be careful though, those gold coin games are filled with really good regs, and tough to beat even at the micro stakes

Yeah for sure send a PM or email to support to ask about the cash games. And I am with you, better safe than sorry until they confirm one way or another.

I agree with you on the chat, it can be pretty bad in there, and anyone who really crosses lines, in my opinion, you should report to Global for the exact reasons you are stating. Its a massive turn off for people here to have a good time, and I think we all want everyone to enjoy themselves.

I will say I am glad there is no moderation in chat. Because what inevitably happens is people find ways around it. So now they type "sh*t" and everyone still knows what they mean. Then that gets blocked, and now they find a new way around it. Its an unwinnable cat and mouse game.

Again I buy in for the max when I play, but I can also see an arugment that if some guy wants to run up his stack as fast as possible, letting him do that is an overall plus to the website. And the best way to do that is keeping the min buy-in low. 10BB was pretty bad, in my opinion, but where it is now works pretty well I think.

Some people have talked to Global support and Global did a disable all chat on their account. With that said, I would encourage you to just ignore it, or make your tables small enough you can't even see the red dot. I know if we hit a table together I wouldn't mind chatting, and in a friendly way.

I wish it were that easy. It's like a disease that I can't control and don't understand.

Prolly cuz you cant get your ass beat online
