You can also take a piece of paper and write the table name, buyin, and starting number of players for each of the handful of types of SnGs that you normally play (as I do). A quick check to the sheet when you forget whether it was a 6man or 9man isn't too difficult imo

Some form of Rake back / Bonus per xxxx amount of hands played is needed.

Add other variants of poker. GP player base is growing and likely can sustain a consistent player base in other variants such as Razz.

Here are a few things that I think would be useful very much for Global Poker;

1. We need to be able to play heads-up in cash games! They need to find a work around the chip dumping.

2. A Quicker and More Responsive Customer Service; Takes Days too hear replys for me sometimes. (Does anyone know the hours of their Customer Service Office?)

3. A Player County Calculator Displayed on the site. I know there are quite a few people out here playing, but if we could see the actual Number so we can figure where we stand amongst them all with some kind of high-score/leader board would be cool.

4. A more sophisticated Punishment System; The reason I say this is because there are players out there that do things that break the rules, maybe creating an additional account and they end up getting permanently thrown off the site. This is BAD for everyone;

Global Poker; Loses a Customer Base and Clientele Pool.

Honest Players; If someone creates more then one account and later on they decide they like the site, then they put money on there and their account gets locked, that money reverts to global poker without us a chance to win it!

Rule-Breakers; Getting permanently banned off the site would suck, it's by far the best site I've Come Across! I can imagine how people who have made honest mistakes or intentional ones and regret them now feel about their past decisions.

Just some thoughts, what are some things you guys think Global Poker Needs?

Lol. This is the guy who opened a bunch of accounts and then when he couldn’t cash out his $100 he ran up on one of them saw the error in his ways and was begging for a pardon. Is this freaking genius serious? Smh

If the customer base that is lost are cheaters then nothing is lost.

That being said .. there are instance when players deserve a second chance.

My other thoughts are in this thread https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/2...ughts-1699880/

I have been cleared and my account with the money on it is getting re-opened, but i'm sure i will face some type of penalty for my actions.

I truly like and support Global Poker because it's the most legit software I seen. I guess the people may be easier on there than other sites, but I enjoy it overall.

Have a Good Day!

Global poker needs more achievements and rewards for reaching these achievements.
Like maybe a donkey table avatar if you win 10 pots with 27o.
Or if you lose with aces 10 times you get a cracked aces avatar.
Just cool entertaining stuff to make the grind less boring.

Synchronized MTT breaks, Synchronized MTT breaks, Synchronized MTT breaks....

Did I mention Synchronized MTT breaks?

+10000000000000

Why hasn't this been done, don't know a single other site that doesn't have this.
12-31-2017 , 11:19 AM
Not sure why they haven't yet, I know it's been thrown out there before...it's quite aggravating when a rest area stop is required. I gotta have my wonderful wife sit, watch and yell out what my hole cards are, position, etc.

But...Did I mention Synchronized MTT breaks?

Seriously Global, this needs to be done asap. Not that hard of a task to be accomplished.

"Global poker needs more achievements and rewards for reaching these achievements". Lets just leave it at that and skip the "cool entertaining stuff". There are more pressing issues for them to think about than donkey avatars. No offence, good day sir.

Please add “sitout next bb” option

Are we ever going to get hand histories? I understand the concerns with HUD's and bots, but seems to me this could easily be solved with something like a 24 hour delay and removing players' screen names. I just want to track my play, yo.
01-07-2018 , 12:56 AM
have any suggestions in this thread been implemented?
01-07-2018 , 01:57 AM
I mean the HU button glitch is still around. Considering they can't even fix that doesn't bode well for them implementing much that we say. They did fix their software disconnecting though which I give them credit for considering Bovada/Ignition took a year to figure it out.

. Works the same.

It’s minor, but you have to press after your sb. Just different than other sites and more of a hassle.

Players are already anonymized in the hand re-player, they've got that down so I fail to understand the hold up on this subject.

Study is an important part of my MTT regime. Absolutely no reason for us to not have our own hand history. C'mon GP!

The dealer chat needs to come back when we are multitabling as well.

So, as I was mass-tabling the goldcoin games in order to play the tournaments, I noticed that play-money games on here are raked. lolololololol

It freaked me out for a second, I thought I was on 15 tables of real money 5/10nl

never heard of such a thing
01-07-2018 , 09:30 PM
All the play chip pots on Stars are raked...

Yeah seriously Global Poker Improvement Thread.

I have a solution to the rake dilemma: Global can lower the rake on real money games, but can make up for it by raising the rake on play money games. Am I a genius, or what?

Wow, my memory is bad. Thanks.

But why??? It's only going to make play money fishies more aware, and nobody gains anything.

Three options it could be (and for sure their could be more or a combo of these):

It makes it when real rake happens and the pots shrink in size play money players are already familiar with it. Makes it feel natural to see money come out of the middle when a pot is finished because they have been seeing it with Gold Coins.

Could also be a thing with the Sweepstakes model where they can tell some government looking over their shoulder, "No, we rake ALL of the digital currency that are on Global"

Or the option I would take were I betting on it, the software is written that way and its just easier to leave the rake in place on the GC games.
01-08-2018 , 07:59 PM
Play money cost real money on stars don't forget ... another reason for the rake.

But mostly to make it feel like playing for real money.
