Actually, it's more like every 20 minutes, buddy boy! Get your facts right!

Makes sense. Site is rigged, so you don't bother to withdraw and instead prefer to lose even more $$$. You should look up what psychologists call "stupidity."


Is that any way to talk to an old man? You need to learn how to respect your elders.

Thank you!

I'm a quite joyful old man. I may be old, but unlike you kids who can only read about Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, I was actually in the audience for the speech. It was even more impressive in person than in print.

And each one a literary masterpiece.

My stupidity continues! I used my last $5 and won a ticket to the GOAT low. Won because I had a massive suckout on a key hand.

In the GOAT:
I 5X UTG raise pre AA
Get one call from UTG+3

Long story short, I get beat by Q7(u) on a runner runner straight making pot sized bets the whole way

Just your totally normal play that no one ever would make let alone win.

Now I know this simple report will result in the heroic defender of Global Poker to resort to name calling but I will not be dragged into the gutter again.

Never said anything was rigged to favor any one player. Something happened since the beginning of the pandemic and you have to be blind not to see it. Bad play wins more than it should which so just happens to be good for business. Have fun.

thats the coolest story ive ever heard, can u email me more just like it?

No surprise.

I will!

I think a good takeaway here that we can all learn from is this: If you think that a site that you are playing on is rigged in some way, STOP PLAYING AND CASH OUT AT ONCE!

Amazingly enough, our friend has never provided even one screenshot of any these horrific suckouts that apparently recur like clockwork.

Free cash daily (sometimes up to 5 dollars), mail in and get credited SC, routinely get free tournament tickets, and generous reload bonuses. None of the other sites I can think of have all these freebies. They have to pay for it somehow…..


Lagtight - what’s your screen name on global? I would like to look you up since you seem so passionate to defend global.

They pay for it from the mountainous amount of rake they take.

ACR has 27% rakeback, at 50NL that's paying out $30-$80/hr/table.

"too legit! too legit, to quit!"

best freerolls out there imo dudes. not some multi step or ladder system that requires a parlay of run good like most sites. other sites running $10 and $50 freerolls that require u to best a field of hundreds to win 2.50$ or 9$.

daily sc gives entry into micro games with the potential to run it up with the weekly and daily bonanza entries being .11 which is awesome value.

u could hang out in twitch while u play and mayB win a ticket/SC giveaway, or play the home game and possibly win a bounty. chawell was worth a 218sc ticket one night!

ive said it before and i still got my fingers crossed they dont go the way of other sites. full blown hudded nit fest with mtts having 4 hrs of late reg BUT i dont think we have to worry.

imo they seem to be more in touch than most players realize or at the least wanna be different

Lots of recent improvements, fast payouts, trying new ideas, and there seems to be upward momentum in terms of traffic. The tie-in with the USPO can only help. Global is a pretty fun site to play on.

As to the legit question, you're playing online poker. When you look at the history of it, the best thing you can do is accept that you may be getting cheated in some kind of way from either other players or the operator and play your best anyway. If you can't accept that, play live only - and oh, pay attention there too cause there's lots of colluding and cheating there also.

My Global SN is chuckychess.

I am "passionate" (your word) to defend Global to the extent that I have been playing on Global for several years and have made a small profit playing nanostakes. I have always received payouts without any problems.

But, as I always say:

NEVER DEPOSIT ANY MONEY ON ANY POKER SITE IF ALL YOUR MONEY VANISHING IN THIN AIR OVERNIGHT WOULD CAUSE ANY SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL OR EMOTIONAL DISTRESS.

Folks who post stuff like this generally do not understand probability. What is more likely is this happens in 50% of the tournaments you enter and you remember it because that is how you went busto, but you forget the other 93% of the time you won.

Let's say you are all in with 93% equaiaty 4 times in a tournament, you have a greater than 50/50 chance of losing at least once.(it's too early for me to crunch exact numbers but that figure is correct)

If you do not believe me, look at the birthday problem, excluding leap day birthdays, the odds of someone having your birthday is 1/365, yet if you poll 23 people there is a 50% chance someone will have the same birthday as you. If you poll 30 people there is 70% chance of someone having the same birthday, if you poll 57 people there is a 99% chance someone has the same birthday as you.

Someone with a rudimentary understanding of probability will tell you that you need to poll 182 people to have a 50/50 chance of having the same birthday as you. This concept applies to poker and the probability of a bad beat over a sample size, especially in a single tournament where you are likely all in for all or most of your chips many times throughout the course of the tournament.

Your probability numbers are both off. At 93%, you'll will all 4 75% of the time.

As for the birthday thing, it's not 50/50 to have the same birthday as yours, but 50/50 that at least 2 people in a room of 23 share a birthday (even that number might be wrong, but it's too early for me)

Yes it is 50\50 that if you randomly poll 23 people that someone will have the same birthday as you which just happens to the same as two people in the same room.

I can promise you my math skills are on point.

However when you look at a room full of people vs polling random ppl, in a room 59 people the probability is over 99% that two ppl have the same birthday.

When I am not at work, I will solve for the 93% problem having over a 50/50 chance of losing 1 in 4 hands just to prove a point.

Serious question - Why will global not let you download your own hand history's so you can analyze your play? Not your opponent, but how you played the hand? I think if they offered people the ability to do this it would cut down on the RNG is rigged stuff. So why will they not let you?

I'm much more likely to deposit, when I cannot easily see, how many tens of thousands of dollars I'm down on the site.

So many words yet so little to say.

"I'm not trying to convert u or anyone to anyside of the arguement because it won't matter either way. Idc" .....soooooo why are you posting lmao

This is all such utter nonsense. You are making a public statement you don't know wtf you're talking about. Pure unadulterated bs.



Lololol. You comments show exactly how much knowledge and credentails you have and your "wisdom" is pretty much what one should expect.

shut up cletus

no it wont

Some folk'll never blame their losses on rigged sites, and then again some folk'll

Still at work?

This is clearly not true. Comparing 23 people's birthdays to your own is not the same as comparing those peoples' birthdays to each others'. The probability that none of 23 random people share your birthday, assuming any of 365 days is equally likely, is (364/365)^23 = 93.9%

It's about 50% that at least one pair of people out of 23 share the same birthday. It would be calculated as 1-365!/(365-23)!/(365^23)

This is true.

The chance of winning all four is indeed about 75%. It's just 0.93^4.

Yeah...I fudged the math...was doing card removal in my head(and God knows what else)which changes everything.

Oh well. I'm usually many drinks in when I post on here.

My bad. That said, me many drinks in at a poker table is a +ev table.

True but FWIW Global is independently certified by Itech Labs.
