so the site that took 5 years to figure out sync breaks and still hasn't figured out how to properly tile tables on some resolutions is part of a genius plot to skim from the best regs on the site by adjusting their all in ev? can u at least acknowledge that a poker site pulling that off is exceptionally difficult to create?

By definition, facts are proveable. Please show us your proof, or just admit that you're either a liar or an idiot. (I personally think you are both, but that is just my opinion.)

n.b. I don't know if most of the posters in this thread play on Global or not.

I agree with this.

But, if someone like Booboo is claiming that he is some hotshot player, I think that such as claimant should be required to share their SN. His alleged online poker success is a big part of his argument of why we should believe his claims.

It is a really effective way of limiting predatory behaviour.

Appeal to authority is a common type of fallacy, or an argument based on unsound logic.

When writers or speakers use appeal to authority, they are claiming that something must be true because it is believed by someone who said to be an "authority" on the subject. Whether the person is actually an authority or not, the logic is unsound. Instead of presenting actual evidence, the argument just relies on the credibility of the "authority."

GO. AWAY.

I've might have trolled some riggies before, but never gave much thought that the site could be rigged.

That said, my last 10 sessions I've lost over 20% of my bankroll where I am running really really bad....flop top 2 pair, villain has a set, get aces or kings and villain flops a set of nut straight, flop a set and get action and opponent has a bigger set or jams with a draw and hits, villain donk shoves with 4 outs and hits everytime....when this happens over a large enough sample size it really makes me wonder.

To date I have won over 40 times my initial buy-in(was over 50x before this downswing) so it's not like I am a losing player....but for the past year my bankroll has remained the same for the reasons listed above.

While variance and running bad can really do a lot mentally to the best of us, after awhile it really makes one question if something fishy is going on.

It makes me want to cash out.....the problem is bring in Florida I have mother options. PokerStars and other trusted sites are not available here, ACR is full of collusion rings and data mining.

I generally like playing on Global, or at least I did. I am really starting to wonder if something fishy is going on.

It is weird lagtight has been in this forum primarily defending global poker for 5 years now. Either way it’s extremely weird.

Many regs that are winners claim this same thing. Everyone goes on unreal streaks where they just can’t win or break even over very large periods of time. The beats you take during these streaks are amazing.

Whenever I see a reg playing musical chairs with a rec or insta sitting-out when the rec leaves, I do think to myself Wow, I am so glad this behavior was prevented by having no accessible histories.

Even better, I love knowing the player pool has one less resource to detect collusion or RTA. Really helps create an environment of honest and fair play, knowing even if we thought something about a game didn't seem right, we do not have access to the most basic yet important way to do anything about it.

Thank you!

It’s a tough trade-off I’ll admit. Every operator has wrestled with it.

.How many hands did you play during those ten sessions?

I can understand the choice between opening the door wide open for cheating or not. Without accessible hand histories, someone can play with a tab of solved solutions on the side (kind of a problem that this is allowed to happen!), knowing it's extremely difficult to prove this level of assistance no matter how suspicious their play might be. But to be fair, maybe there will a hand here or there where they time out while looking up the best possible play. It all balances out.

Well said.

Our friend Bobo hasn't produced even one piece of evidence that there is anything amiss on GP.

Please give me one example of a "backflip" from me. Thanks.

I cannot "prove" that your claims are "wrong", and have never said that I could. Your claims may very well be correct. Please show us your evidence, then we can evaluate the validity of your claims based on evidence. I'm open to the possibilty that GP is utterly corrupt and cannot be trusted to run an honest game. Like they say in Missouri: Show me!

My SN on GP is "chuckychess". What is your handle on GP?

I'm a terrible player. I can beat nanostakes for a few pennies an hour, but that's about it.

$24.99 + S&H.

I agree with your arguments and points, all accurate and valid. The issue is Global's business model is to cater to recs, casuals, and random fish. Regs/grinders have to either play in the soft pools without their usual array of tools/software and rewards or play elsewhere. That is the reason Global doesn't offer the stuff regs want/need to cater to recs.

According to our friend Bobo, the only plausible explanation for GP to not provide hand histories is to cover up their dishonest game.

What is your evidence that GP does not run an honest poker room?

Why would you be glad about that?

Please don't encourage our friend Bobo to leave. He is much too entertaining.

Having Bobo in this thread is like having some guy or gal in your home poker game who doesn't know that a flush beats a straight. Easy pickins.

I agree; I am a weirdo.

Having said that, I enjoy "defending" Global because I have fun playing on Global; their relatively soft field allows even a nitwit like me to make a small profit while having fun. Most hobbies cost money; I find it kewl that I have a hobby that actually allows me to make a make a buck or three.

I have also been critical of GP on several occasions. I wasn't at all happy when they got rid of NL5, for example.

At least one royal flush worth of hands....200,000ish..

But it makes my head hurt

Right now two players playing heads up will get 5BB / 100 hands added to the table via the Amplifier.

As a great statesman once said, "I feel your pain."

What is your SN on Global? Your claimed success is literally meaningless if you don't tell us who you are. DUCY?

Until you gives us your SN, then it is you who is the bigger clownball, dude. Given both the presentation and content of your posts, it's hard for me to imagine that you'd be a winning tic-tac-toe player, let alone a winning poker player.

Why play heads up with a new name? Isn't having multiple accounts against the TOS? You claimed to be one of the biggest winners on GP; is it because you cheat?
