My suggestion includes a 30 second timer. That's, what, and extra 4 min if we ask at every opportunity at a 9 handed table. And 2.5 min for a 6 handed FT.

It's a common occurrence that players will say no to a chop until a super short stack is KO'd, and this allows for that.

Satellites are here! just check tonight's tournament schedule and about two hours prior to the grizzly #2 high event there will be a satellite to win an entry into the event. The buy-in is $3.30 and if you win a ticket it is worth $22. So far there are about 20 players and a few tickets up for grabs. I'm not sure if this is the best way to increase the player size having the satellite 2 hours prior for a specific event but I will try to take advantage of it and get my initial buy-in for $3.30. Seems to me that satellites sit and goes into any $22 event would be more appropriate but maybe later.

I like how they did it as well where you are just entered to the Tournament you won the ticket for. Thus there won't be any 3rd currency confusion. I can just see the questions now... "What are Gold Coins, $weeps Cash, and Tourney Dollars? How are they different? Aren't they the same?"

I can appreciate there could be a more flexible solution, but with that flexibility comes complexity, so thank you to Global for setting it up like this instead.

Me waking up at 3:50AM est. for work really crushes my hope of playing most of the trnys on weekdays.

Anyone understand how Jump Judy 2 is still playing everyday and not banned yet?

Yeah same here, down in VA and getting up for work at 5AM, I can't be playing until 1AM and function the next day. But still, overall I am very happy to see the series running, even if I very likely won't be lifting any of the trophies.

This weekend I am going to try like hell to win a trophy. Would be so cool. You try too during the series when ya get a chance, Ya never know!

It only takes one tournament to life a trophy!

The Eagle Cup Champion actually missed a lot of the first half of the schedule due to work commitments!

Do something about the collusion/multi-accounting in the lower buyin in Sit & Gos...

and the absolute vomit blind structure in the higher ones

blind structures are the same regardless of bi level. I posted a breakdown of them relative to wpn and bovada in the "rake thread closed" thread further down in this subforum but ya I agree and haven't played one in over a month.

Very first ****ing hand of a 55 cent turbo that I played in. All of these clowns joined the table at the same time. Also everyone except me (crescentcityking) ended up going all in with any two at the same time afterwards. If you guys don't see what's wrong in this picture, then I give up with your website and I want my deposit back:

copy pasted from my post in the "gusthot1069?" thread at the suggestion of the OP there.

"an idea I just had - how about gp making these new accounts link a paypal account before the free 2$? Not full verification of DL and proof of addy cuz that'd be a deterrent to many. Maybe something like "link your paypal account so we can send you your winnings and then we will send you 2$ to try it out!" and leave out the $50 min wd part. That might clean up the games a lot and make gp security's life a lot easier but still keep new players coming in?"

or another one I had after that would be for GP to somehow flag stts that ended in "x" # of hands, maybe 10-20 and review them to make sure there's nothing nefarious going on? I can't imagine that many legit games where everyone goes aipf 1st hand and are over a few hands later maybe a few here and there but not many or often.

The only argument i can see for this even being possible legit play is the rapid growth in traffic and the average skill level of the new influx of players due to the grizzly series starting. Still unlikely imo.

I'm not sure what your complaint is here. After one hand, you're already on the bubble. You have at least a 67% chance of cashing. Seems to me you'll make a lot of money if every SNG you play in goes like this.

So, basically you're upset because your opponents play like idiots? Please explain.

Thanks. And have a blessed day.

Synchronized breaks.....Synchronized breaks.....Synchronized breaks.....Synchronized breaks.....

Please, Global, this is not hard to do and it's really getting frustrating with MTT's starting on the hour, on the 1/4 and 3/4. So in reality there is no such thing as a break on here if one is playing several MTT's.

German Shepherd has gotta pee, like me, kinda hard to do if beloved wifey is not home or getting some more wood to throw on the fire, etc. etc. etc.

Global Joey....please give us some feedback on this. Like....yes, this will be happening this week would be nice

Sweet baby Jesus, PLEASE do this. There is no point in having breaks at different times.

I'm in the "don't bother with synchronized breaks" faction. :-)

By default, anything that discourages mass tablers, and especially mass cross-site tablers, is good for the GP player pool.

edit: If we *are* going to have syncho'd breaks, then do it at the bottom of the hour or 15 min after the hour... something that doesn't coincide with breaks on WPN, Ignition, and all the other US facing sites.

sync'd breaks also fall under the category of non rec friendly so probably not gonna happen. I hope GP does not snyc breaks, after all aren't we all on the same page that nothing that helps profitable players let alone pros should be allowed?

We do need hand for hand play at money bubble, though.

structure is the same, yeah...but the higher priced ones that are 9-max are turbo only which makes it way worse...at least the smaller buyin ones have longer levels of the putrid structure

I don't play as many SNG as I used to. I don't like the new structure either.

Yes, same page but c'mon, I don't see the breaks falling into that category. Many players play a couple MTT's at a time, rec or reg. I don't see how that has anything to do with being non-rec friendly.

Say I'm a new rec from FB, I want to play a satty and another at the same time but I can't get a drink, can't use the R/R, etc. unless I sit out. To me, that just sucks and is quite ridiculous.

I can see with off-setting them from WPN, Iggy, etc. for sure.

What would the point be in having their breaks at a different time than every other site? Synchronized breaks don't attract anyone but the lack of them likely pushes people away or limits the amount of games they'd play on Global. The hardcore grinders from the other sites will not play here due to no RakeBack more than any other reason.

Global can conform/align with industry standards as far as game structures and network system without being anymore attractive to a rakeback driven player.

you are wrong about the bolded part and it's already evident and I can prove it, you are saying what you want to think as opposed to the reality. And the more everybody talks about how fast the player pool is growing and how bad it is the faster your pond will dry up or get pumped out.

so when something is to your personal liking, well ya nevermind we all see your true colors. You and splayaa are not white nights anymore than I am. While we are at it lets enable p2p transfers for buddies? Or not and maybe lets cap tables at 4 to make it even more rec friendly boss? Or start banning winning players like Merge network does?

you and splayaa may be good people but ther isnt a day that goes by on this subforum when either of you post that your integrity and motives aren't questioned for obv reasons. Bless your hearts

Prove it and without being a dick

Not sure what your dopey problem is, but I'm neither impressed nor angered by it. Stop being such a clown with these stupid assumptions. You advertise yourself as a little kid.

If you could adult for a moment, why would someone playing a dozen tables on WPN that is profitable and high up in the elite benefits give that up to play on Global?

Try to focus
