My guess is he will want to know your screen name too.

No just Bawsten's. If you take a look at his past posts you'd understand why. He trolls everyone for them being a terrible player, says he is one of the top winning regs, then complains there's a doom switch....all within the same week. I just believe liars should be called out.

Can confirm only top winning regs in this thread complaining about the RNG.
Next time one of those guys posts I hope they realize their delusion.

winning players that do this for a living tend to know their win rates and the standard deviation of that win rate. Being a big winner at cash and MTT and feeling as if you routinely and without a break run under EV vs one of the softest player pools youve ever played in, in 15 years of playing professionally are not mutually exclusive. I can hold both of those opinions and both of them be true at the same time.

Id rather not link my forum identity to my sn on global for personal reasons.

I have a 93 ability on SS with an avg buy in of $86 and am a winner at every stake 1/2 plo and up. I feel like my equity is constantly denied on this site and I also am still a big winner.

Didn’t you say you were a lawyer?

you cant do both? why do you guys have such limiting mind sets and nit picky on everything? Not every one in life just sits on forums all day and is a loser so stop projecting. Some people get after it and are good at multiple things. Hard for people like you to fully grasp that when youre most likely not good at anything.

There is a poster on this forum you should speak with as he has pretty much the same concerns that you have in terms of being profiled. He plays similar games you play as well. Now, this poster has lost for 15 years of online play, and his belief is that he is constantly denied equity, much in the same way you are suggesting. One aspect of his theory is that winning players like you are part of the system, but minor details like that should not be a big deal as both of you agree the system is targeting yourselves.

He has posted here for as long as you. His user name is dacy and you should look up some of his posts and threads add your observation and data to his to better help expose what is going on to both of you. You apparently are a lawyer and that other person has made it clear he is a world class statistician, and while he has yet to provide any actual stats in his posts (minor detail - do not worry about it) - both of your skill sets should complement each other, as he is definitely looking for someone with legal knowledge as he pursues these poker sites. They have stopped talking to him, so his efforts have not been effective. You can help him with that, and he can help you with formulating the math behind what is happening to you. Hope this helped, as you seem like someone who would be a fantastic ally to have for this type of battle that lies ahead for both of you.

All the best.

Instead of complaining about running bad, I'll contribute my two cents to this riggie talk by highlighting how I've always run like a god when playing ridiculous stakes I have no business playing at. Everytime I make a deposit I make a point to enter a $50+ SNG and I've had like an 80% ROI on these in the 8 or so I've played. The only other stakes I can beat are $1 or less SNGs (where you can essentially wait for a premium and open shove and get a caller everytime) with about a 20% ROI. In the $1-$10 range I am essentially dead money, which to me feels like running bad but it probably just reflects my true poker abilities. In the microstakes I can't tell you how many times I've seen players win both 6 and 9 man SNGs going all in every hand, hitting 5 or 6 miracle runouts in a row. Although it's good for me because I always get 2nd place when this happens by folding every hand haha.

Eight games is a sample size too small to be evidence of ANYTHING.

Agreed. Get a couple of hundred thousand hands under your belt.

Been playing on Global poker for a while, and there's always been something VERY very very odd about it. For instance, some guy at my table got AA, KK, AA again, then two fullhouses in a row. Followed by a flopped straight, I stopped paying attention after that point, but it's likely he got even more hands. I understand variance, but the chance of that happening is less than a royal flush. And sometimes you can actually laugh out loud, as you see one player completely set up with a nuts hand, only for the other player to have the bigger nuts on river. These situations are incredibly rare in live poker, like 1 out of 1000... but you see them every other hand on global poker almost.

There's countless other things that make you realize Global Poker isn't real poker. If you multitable, and you are getting dealt hands around the same time, they tend to be the same type of hand or exact same hand very often. Which means the site has a form of RNG that isn't like true poker RNG. It also seems like the system sets you up with alleyoops, for instance if you are in the last position to join a big bet flop, a lot of the time you will flop the nuts, compared to if you led the bet. It's just very very odd.

The amount of pots you see where someone has nuts, but someone else has bigger nuts, happens incredibly all too often. And I think the only thing it takes to be a reg on Globalpoker is to play extremely tight or pick on fish. You can't play real poker there. And when two people are having a showdown, stuff like flush draws and straight draws happen way more often than the innate 30%. The whole system is designed for people to get excited a bet, and they are in a legal loophole with sweepcoins if they go to court.There's a reason they had to use sweepcoins instead of standard USD like other legal poker sites. Because it's imitation poker. It's like the WWE of poker.

I've since left, started playing on Ignition and Betonline.ag and you see 10x less nuts hands in my thousands played so far.

Also, they are in some legal loophole with 'sweepscoins', and their version of Poker is technically a casino style poker. They look to profit GREATLY from baiting fish to play big hands, thus raking more back. And they offer no rakeback benefits or player benefits. It's pretty damn obvious to anyone who has played on multiple poker sites that global is a bit off.

Would you ever trust a stranger who purposely hides his hands from you? Let alone a company who benefits from it. Like, cmon.

Appreciate your evidence based post. High quality thinking in this thread as usual.

With evidence like that, how can anybody argue?! Everyone cash out and run for the hills!

Yes, VERY likely.

I doubt it.

I, too, laugh at loud when someone at the table had bigger nuts than me.

I almost had you pegged as a fool, but you saved yourself with the "almost" caveat.

Yes...countless. But then, what is real poker, anyway?

That Global RNG is pretty sketchy alright. Not even close to TRUE poker.
]Mr. Sklansky includes a whole chapter on the "alleyoop" concept in his Theory of Poker.

Mr. Sklansky made the same observation.
I think we trod this ground earlier. But definitely worth repeating.

"Innate" is for sure the right word to use there when describing that situation.
It's been known for some time now that Global is an illegal operation.

Not at all surprising, since Hulk Hogan is Global's majority stockholder
You must be relieved that you're seeing less nuts on Ignition and BOL.
"Obvious" is the understatement of the century, my friend.
Yeah, c'mon! No way!!!

Not sure about Global's RNG as I do not have the sample size. I have observed a high number of quads during my sessions. Who knows.

Global is legally 'sweepstakes poker'. It looks like poker, but isn't really poker. Every hand is predecided who the winner will be. A lot of the time, if you are last position to join a big bet, the flop will favor you. But at the same time, this usually means the other people in the pot have extremely strong hands. The whole system is designed to get everyone betting huge, and then they take a massive rake. And since it's legally not considered poker, the laws about rigging it up like this aren't set in stone.

And think about it like this, if Global was 100% legit, would they really need to use the sweepscoins loophole to begin with? The answer is pretty obvious. I've seen more fullhouses in a 3 hour window at Global than I've seen in my entire life combined.

There comes a time where theres 'variance', and then there's 3 plays in a row with Quads and then 10 more with fullhouses in just 1 hour at a high stakes table. The amount of times I've seen Aces cracked by random junk hands actually outranks the amount of times I've seen AA win. In fact, I've won far more hands with KK than AA. When you get KK on Global, consider it to be AA.

Especially when the flop is Axx. You have top set, get all the moneys in!

You write much, understand little.

Prove it. Stream a full session with a strategy of having a 100% VPIP when you close the action. If what you are saying is true, you should be a millionaire by now.

Global has a Quad Switch that they utilize on occasion.

When playing on Global, folding AA preflop is generally the optimal play.

Generally.

Except, I didn't follow this highly advanced play last night when I was dealt AA twice.

TWICE! IN A ROW!

...rigged because I won both times...obv...

Oh, how very interesting. See, that doesn't work on most sites, because they have a cap on the rake, so it would be pretty silly to rig the deal to make less money. Since you seem to know a lot about this rigging, I'm sure you wouldn't have said that if Global had a rake cap, as it would make your entire premise invalid.

The one thing that puzzles me though, is that no one complains about uncapped rake - it must be expensive!

Wow, I didn't know there were places that had laws specific to rigging poker. Would you care to share these laws?

On global again tonight. Played 2 hours and saw Quads FIVE times.
One of the rarest hands possible, five times. This site be rigged as hell to get people betting big.

PS: Every time the one opponent had quads, they gave the other guy a straight or full house to make sure he bet huge. Huge rake for Global legal loophole.
