@Lagtight, Defender of online poker. 1st one to respond every time.
1) No evidence on either side except anecdotical on my side which is playing and winning on the site since year 1 and noticing a major lasting change starting about 3-2020 (a time when a massive amount of new bad players started on the site) and on your side a strong belief and trust in corporations to always be pure and never do anything questionable or even nefarious. It could be that people calling shoves with a 7% chance for their tournament life in situations that are impossibly bad and hitting about half the time only happens to me. I realize that anything is possible.
2)Of course no one wants to lose a customer. To point out that losing a customer on a public forum in a way that is inevitable (new clueless players going broke fast) is the worst thing for your business makes me personally wonder how far they would go to slow down something that MUST happen based off the math. It just sounds like something that is out of their control for the most part is very much on their minds.
3) It would make "no sense" for a company to use an easy implement, impossible to prove technology that eases the number #1 threat to their business? Hmmm ok.
4) Glad you agree with the crux of the matter. So odd you take so much time when in the end you agree with the advice. Thanks at least for that.
5) The hand happened. If you do not see impossible plays like this this all the time I believe you and wish I could have that experience. That was my experience until about 3-2020
Here is the link to the latest Itech Labs certification of Global Poker's RNG on the Itech Labs website dated April 21, 2021.

No. They faked a "partnership" angle with PayPal in the early days for promotion. PayPal cut them off once they realized they were a poker site hiding behind "sweepstakes".

Jonathan Little he ad good things to say about Global's legitimatecy but not so good things about the volume at higher stakes.

Great site but still lacking the apparent volume it should have.

My only gripe is the high rake and lack of rake back options.

Now I can't find the video, he basically said that Global was the most legit site for those of us who can NOT play on Stars or other options because of our state(sadly Florida just shut down another online poker bill).

He may have pulled that video because I believe it was the one that upset ACR.

There is nothing wrong with global rng. I tested many times its fine. But they do have players working in teams in cash games at every limit. And they will go after good players and try to eat away at their br so they leave so they get all the fish. And they pretty much sucked the site dry now and there is not many fish left unless you play i guess 10nl where the rake will beat you. You are better off playing on ignition. You cant pick what table you are on that site and players are anonymous which make it better and they have zone poker where you switch tables after a hand.

Also since the players are anonymous on iggy they aren't embarrassed to try dumb bluffs or make bad calls. But you do have to use crypto to play on there and you cant play as many reg tables. Thats the downfall of it to global, but security is way better and regs wont work in teams and target you cause your anonymous. Iggy imo is the best american site security and playing wise. But u can make a profit on global in cash its just a challenge getting away from these teams of players but mtts are fine. They are full of fish. I played on their rng for many years its fine. People think the rng is rigged not realizing their is players teaming up against them. global can't do much about it cause its hard to prove. They would have to do iggy setup in cash games to stop that kind of cheating.

I think you are a PLO cash player, right? Can you provide SN's of who you think are working in teams?

You play mostly 200-500 if you are whom I think you may or may not be (I won't guess your name publicly if you don't want me to).

I dont put people on blast who are cheating unless they openly admit it in chat. But i have had a few regs banned from global. Ya i play 200 and 500.

My friend played for few months playing holdem. He was awful and he lost a bunch at 50nl like the first few days. And he was bad. I gave him a simple set of rules to follow and just play for fun at 10nl until he got better and he was making around 500-1k a month at 10nl. I told him when you start profiting on global as u move up in limits the players will target you and sit your left so you can't profit so u will have to mark those players down to avoid them. So he sends me this today and this is 10nl haha. But is how
global is. Its a strat they use at all limits to get winning players to quit. [Imgur](https://i.imgur.com/A2pVGoo.png) the links not posting a pic so this is just a link to message he sent me of a guy admitting to sitting his left at just 10NL like wtf haha. He said hes gonna start playing iggy tomorrow. People don't want to use bitcoin but honestly its not a big deal once you get used to how it works. Its best to play on iggy to avoid these things trust me if you are cash game player. Then you don't have to worry about seat scripting and all that nonsense. Or you will have to constantly leave and re sit tables and if your multi tabling its not worth it.

All I know is, I have some evidence, that Papi_Chulo’s contention that this is a “skewed” site for the fish, PROVING undeniably anecdotally that

A) it is not

Or

B) he is a huge fish
06-12-2021 , 08:32 PM
thats the funny part people say there is all these fish on global. Maybe at mtts or micro stakes. A year or 2 ago ya it was great.

It sounds like your simple set of rules had some leaks in them that the bumhunters knew how to exploit. That's how real poker works. It's not anonymous. Other players learn your game and you learn their game. You play the player. Iggy poker, anonymous poker, isn't real poker. Just my opinion.

Is this a joke? I've played against this AJH fellow, and he is ****ing terrible. If your buddy is any worse than that guy, then he's not a winning player. Dude has been short stacking 10nl for literally 2 years now.

And not only that, it's just completely absurd to think that Global is going to not only send house players to punish "winning regs," but to think that they would actually reveal their plan to such players is, imo, some next-level stupidity

Regs are going to purposefully seek out seats to the left of players that they perceive to be weaker, it's just how poker works

House players? They don't need to be house players to go after winning regs. This has gone on with cash games for years not just online live as well. Berry Greenstein admitted to that he left vegas because he wouldn't join up with regs to team up on other players at the table. So they told him either leave vegas or they will beat him out of his money. THey don't need to work with the casino do that. Anyone can do that.

I see you global simps are huffing and puffing so I will look. My point is proven I am looking right now at midstakes plo is empty only 2 6 max tables and nl only 2 tables going right now. This poker site is going to rip. I am looking at the gtds in mtts they all down from last year its hilarious they can't even afford to do gtds from last year. THey allow these guys to go after regs in cash to try to get fish to themselves and the sites empty. THis is why poker stars banned seat scripting. It ruins the games.

You guys not focusing on the point. Iggy u can't do it. Every american grinder i know that does this for a living no longer plays on global all of them are on iggy. If you guys want to play on it have fun. Its your money. I am just giving him feedback not to play cash on it unless he wants to keep moving tables to get away from players angling him. MTTs are fine but the gtds I see are now lower. Its really gone down hill on that site. The traffic is so dead in cash and even in mtts now. I knew it was getting bad but not this bad. I will be surprised if global is still a poker site in another year if the traffic is this dead. gts are supposed to go up not down unless the site is hurting. Didn't they used to give like 100 bucks if u deposited 2k? U can deposit 500 now geez. You guys have to play micros if u can only deposit 500.

Not exactly a great reason to want to play there lol

Well at least you're not stupid enough to believe that they're house players. I'm sure this happens at higher stakes, but it sure isn't happening at 10nl, or even 200nl lmao. Your friend just sucks at poker so much that he's getting exploited by literally the worst reg in the pool

Just because I think you're acting like an idiot doesn't mean I'm a "global simp" lol. It's not even a great site, but it's still a decent option for US players at lower stakes. Mid stakes looks pretty dead but you do see some action there occasionally

The entire site is based around being unfriendly to regs, such that they don't allow HUDs or seat scripts, and will ban any player found to be using them

They also don't allow any form of collusion between regs, if that's what you're implying

I'd still recommend global to anyone halfway decent playing at lower stakes, all of the regs are absolute trash below 200nl. Like if you've ever studied with a solver and know your preflop ranges you should be able to pound on them. And there are 3 1/2 tables going right now with literally 1 reg between all of them

And yes, you can only get $500 in SC, at once. You can still make multiple purchases

The regs are not trash at 200nl. I mostly play plo so maybe there is some trash ones but im watching right now its a bunch of very tight nits. THe action is like watching golf.

Nits can be trash regs too bud

So my friend said he thinks the AJH9056 guy is no longer playing and that he will continue to play on global. I said its not a good idea imo for cash games. He asks me to rail him to see if i spot anything weird going on. I said how many tables does AJH normaly play and he said about 6 And i told him AJH9056 is still playing based on the style u told me he uses. He said no hes not he don't seem him. I said yes he is. HE is JLM1125. Buys in ss and leaves after a double up and moves to a table on your left. I said look at the ID name its 3 upper case letters followed by 4 numbers and he sitting on your left playing ss leaving table after double up. Then he really pissed when he realized it was the same player.

So these guys have multiple ID names on global as well. I didn't even know they did this. I thought global had good enough security to stop people from having more then 1 ID name. And this is just 10nl guys. I played for so long online i can spot any cheating very easily. I am tell you guys one last time play on iggy. Dont play on global unless its mtts you are going to get cheated in cash games even at 10nl lmao. This is beyond funny how bad their security is. It is nice to cash out straight to bank account. Its not worth it when players are doing stuff like this on that site. He is just trying 10nl for fun and to get a little better so he can move up in stakes. i thought 10nl was safe to play on lmao. I guess not even at 10nl.

So not only is a short stacking "reg" who can't even beat 10nl on the fishiest US site multi-accounting, he's doing so with an extremely similar name structure

If you genuinely beat low stakes PLO I'll be amazed, because this is some double digit IQ **** right here

A typical day in the life of global poker

AA 3 times today all in pre every time. Lost to 44, 99, JJ
KK all in pre lost to QQ

Won every hand with KJ and I think it won about 11/12 times that I saw it played overall.

To top it off guy limps QT for 400 UTG and calls all in for 3k. winner winner.

All just variance! That's poker folks! LMFAO

You were alluding to similar shady stuff in this thread on May 27th.

What kind of a degenerate idiot gambler would continue to play on a rigged site for almost three months?

"degenerate"

You should look up what psychologists call "projection" Guy must check 2 +2 every 30 minutes to look for any kind human interaction.

I had a couple hundred in there that I did not bother to withdraw. Played for the first time in a long time. Good luck and GFY. You are one of a kind weirdo. Sad old man.

7600 posts. yeah.
