Just Bc regs are playing does not mean it isn’t being discouraged. Imagine the exact same game conditions you are describing but instead of $5.50 it’s $50 or $500 rake cap. If regs chose to play in that environment would that mean that their action isn’t being discouraged?

I'm sure this has been said, but having tournaments all go on break at different times makes it feel like there's no break at all.

It also seemed like the clock was glitching and was off by an hour - I'm on Eastern time, and it seemed like it was randomly giving me the HH in Central time or something.
this should be fixed pronto. nothing is more annoying than tech updates that take away functions

if you play HU at 10/20 rake is -25bb/100 and at 5/10 -40bb/100. gl

Subtract a little because rake is not capped every hand and divide by two players.

Auto focus to the table with action, please

It's either impossible or very hard to focus on browser windows these days. I wouldnt count on that happening being that its browser based.

yeah, once games get past hu with its high rake, I've seen and played in a couple 6 reg games at 200, 400, and 600, although a couple regs at these tables are gonna be of the soft variety (including myself, afaik)

I also don't think there are seat script issues as I don't have one and I feel like i get enough get seats by watching.
bk bro I first told you this in like 2009 or something but some people just have more heart than others and that's all it is

I love playing in super tough games where I'm highly likely to be -ev. I usually end up learning something, and it helps to break the monotony of battling fish. Doesn't happen a lot on Global, but anyway, money's just money, big deal.

Also it's pretty soothing to the old ego when a game breaks and you're the only one left at the table. Especially because sometimes I'm still fishy as hell at nl cash as I learn this game that is infinitely more nitty than LHE.

Also, on that last note, why don't all nl cash games have antes? It induces significantly more action for everyone, one tabling fish would presumably get less bored, and more hands would see flops so Global gets additional rake. Everyone wins. What am I missing?

look at some HHs from ante games on Stars in NVG where strong regs and fish alike are going nuts

Is anyone else having problems with balances not updating?

This plus no HH always makes me concerned. I might have to play some sessions without the auto-top off feature.

I don’t think 1-tabling fish would properly adjust to antes, and would net lose money faster (then again, most fish are already too loose, so who knows).

I personally would love ante cash-games though P12

yes. losing players would lose faster, winning players would win faster.

Probably just because the games are bigger, but playing tighter than most is a good way to beat almost any cash game and antes remove that edge for pros.

Mentioned many times, MTT breaks need to happen globally.


GP - Need to highlight MTT's that you're currently registered for like the late reg's are being done, separate color please. Everything blends together. Nice job otherwise.

Also, I have scroll bars on all of my tables for some reason.

We have a 12-hour clock everywhere but the MTT lobby in 24-hour.

Playn tight is the most basic exploit beginning players learn. There are many ways for strategies that are looser to be higher EV than tight strategies. That said - antes will make the games more profitable for sites and pros. It will literally bleed the economy unless there is fresh blood pumped in at a good clip. Not syaing it couldn't happen and tbh I am all for antes, but I will say what you are said is not correct.

So, when I disable the emoticons, I get the text of emoticons in chat instead.

Nice.

I request that the disable emoticons setting, ya know, actually make them go away.

Also, leave a text note in the code next to the fix that the previous programmer is a doofus.

Thanks.

It's impossible to play multiple tables without this. This is a must along with synchronized breaks.

Their recent software update is more like a downdate.

hey so today i sat a table HU where the other guy decided to sit out. it posted my SB since i was button and the other guy never posted BB. we didnt play a hand. i sat out as well but it didnt give me my SB back. even more odd was when a third guy came but he got the button and i was now the bb. i posted 1.5bbs. it wasnt a visual bug because the amount i had to call treated my bb as if it was 1.5bbs. also when i folded i did not get that .5bb back. basically theres some weird bug where when u post and the other guy doesnt it just keeps ur money in the middle. also can i get my 1bb back since it happened twice once the other guys sat out again. lol
10-17-2018 , 02:13 PM
@phyzer -- that's happened a couple times to me as well
10-17-2018 , 02:31 PM
Inf posts on this subject itt. They either dgaf or are incapable of fixing since they rent the Cubeia software. Shouldn’t rule out complete incompetence either.
