I’ve played a bunch of hands with almost all of you.

We need to start games better. I sit games with Farmslicer and other people that I have no edge at because it fills tables. Global lowered rake, we should be trying to get more games going.

I get it -ev poker is not ideal, but the tables fill.

Also, can we please work on the insane predatory behavior? People snap sitting and leaving games when non-regs show up? This is so bad for everyone.

I used to get snap say at every stake above 200nl (and tbf I deserved it). Even though I was a way worse player at the time, I still noticed this happening. It’s not a good feeling for rec players.

Most of the reason I stream is to get more people into the site. I’ve had non-regs sit just to play me on stream. I’m not saying others need to do this, as it’s not +ev vs regs at all, but we could at least try to make games more welcoming to non grinders.

Just my two cents.

Totally agree, Slorgo. My only caveat is that while I’m willing to perhaps take the worst of it for a bit versus a good reg HU, I’m not going to sit forever. But even so, during hours of the day with decent traffic, you don’t need to sit for more than a few minutes typically to get a game going at 200nl/500nl and it benefits us all to do so.

I'll play literally any of you for 5 minutes at a time. I played iamgto123 for like an hour at 500 to get games going and we all know he's better than me. Just start games plz. Also, negipai, who are you on Global>

You are ****ing insane if you play heads-up on global someone can be using a real time solver against you.

Wow that sounds very different from every other poker website

Yea I wouldn't play headsup on them either.

I think if you play me HU for more than 10 min you will be very confident I am not using outside help.

Why is anyone so concerned about getting tables started on a site with zero rakeback? Literally the worst site multi table. Small time banks, terrible software, and no rakeback. LOL. Global is strictly for bumhunting.

Ego, stupidity.

Hmmm, why are people interested in getting games running on the softest site on the internet? Real tough nut to crack, this one.

This is a thread for the midstakes players on global. If you're just gonna **** on the site as well as not even play on it, why are you here?

I'm one of the highest volume players on the site. Don't see how pointing out an unadressed security flaw is akin to shitting on it.

I’ll let Ashura speak for himself, but I don’t think he was referring to solver software in HU situations or security etc, but rather the poster who was dumping on GP for its general crappiness (e.g., time banks, no rake back etc). Could be wrong though...

Since Global doesn't allow HUDs, tracking, or provide any decent Hand History system, I've kind of been in the dark about how many hands I've played. Do any of you guys have a general idea of how many hands per hour would be played on Global's software with 8 cash game tables running? I would assume its quicker than other sites because the shorter time to act as well as small time bank. I'm estimating about 500 hands / hour playing 8 tables. Does anyone else have a better estimate on this? Thanks.

I think you would call that a employee or prop player that got paid hrly. All they have to do is add rake back and I think games would run better on the site. Their midstakes has been dying off its more of a site for micro players. I get it they strategize to get recreational players on the site but recreational players have limited bankrolls. I would rather they have better software with rake back to get grinders and regs on the site. Only like 5% are actually lights out good. A lot of them lose a few hands and spazz losing 30-50 buyins with big downswings. I made more money in online poker playing bad regs then fish. Its not higher win rate per hand but more money over volume. Fish their bankroll is a couple of buyins and they are gone.

Each table shows hand/hour in the lobby. You can make your own estimate based on games/stakes you play.

Never noticed that. Thanks!

There’s also a spot in the Achievements section where it shows you the number of hands you’ve played (at least up to 100k...not sure after that since the achievement is 100k SC hands). Not sure how up to date it is, but that should help you figure it out to some degree. My rough calculations at full ring are about 60-70 hands per hour or thereabouts.

This has to be a troll message. If you are sitting iamgto123 you realize you are bum hunting? If you can't beat him god help you. Just a note a real gto player would not say they are gto in their id name cause its not gto to say that.

Correct negipai, didn't mean to direct my comment to djz

I'm the worst 200 reg

Yeah Ashura lmao iamgto123 is bumhunting you. You guys weren't "starting tables".

The site needs some incentives to start tables or a small amount of rakeback (or incentives to net depositors) or there is really no reason to do it.

I respectfully disagree here. Four example, I just started a table and got to play 30 hands heads up against a fish. The table filled a few minutes later and there were two other fish who joined. Now there is a table with mostly regs but three fish as well, which is about as good as you will be able to get these days. Without starting a table, those fish have nowhere to play. So I would submit that it is in all of our best interests to start games. The fish need a place to play.

Not saying rakeback would be a bad idea, but just saying there is a real benefit to starting tables independent of that.

Pretty sure that’s not what he means by starting a table

I am somewhat obtuse, so can you clarify then? Not being snarky - just don’t see the point being made. Starting tables sometimes gets you a fish, sometimes not, but either way once you get a table going you usually can get a decent game.
