Shocking turn of events.

If you are too dumb to understand the joke please don't offer any advice. Its def not a slam dunk but with the 2 extremely capped ranges behind me,pot odds, and the FD on board its not a very hard call.

You started a thread to make a joke? I call BS. But either way, what part of your post was supposed to clue me in that it was a joke? And as far as your analysis about the "extremely capped ranges", LOLOLOL. They were indeed capped. Capped at all sorts of hands that nailed that flop. What kind of hands do you think people call raises with? And with 3 villains, it's even more likely that at least one smashed the flop and you were probably only barely ahead with the rest. You got lucky. Don't mistake luck for good play.

It was not the most complex joke, he even put quotation marks around the word "cooler" in the thread title, and then showed a hand where he had a marginal overpair and his opponent had 4 high, which is a slight step down the cooler ladder from 88 vs AA on a A88xx board.

Was pretty obvious that he did this to make fun of those who legit complain about this type of stuff all the time and then show 1-2 hands to "prove" (<--- see the quotation marks, that means my use of prove was not serious) it.

Usually the targets of this type of troll thread miss the point, like you and the person who replied right away to the thread with his downloadable HH manifesto that is so dear to him that he would use the same reply when being asked "what did you eat for lunch?"

Hope that better explained the situation for you.

All the best.

And what type of person am I? You don't do a good job of explaining that. You just call me out and then group me with some other poster to deflect that you probably don't like my post but couldn't come up with a legitimate reason why. I get that it was a joke now because he said it was. But that doesn't stipulate that it was obvious because obviously it wasn't obvious to me. And I"m not at all sure why OP felt the need to respond by insinuating that I'm too dumb to participate. And none of this changes the poor play demonstrated by OP in the hand.

Someone who does not get a subtle joke, even when it aint that subtle.

I did, but it often takes time for certain people to comprehend things.

Obviously.

Your reaction to his statement was "I call BS." Seems like you finally got it after my explanation. Just took a bit of time, that's all.

You will feel better if you believe he was merely joking about this.

All the best.

Uh...The big XD right in the title of the thread. You must really be behind in your thought process if you don't know what that XD means and still thinking he was serious if you watched the hand he linked to play out.

That was cute

Wow that guy call with 43 off wtf????

Cry me a river

That wasn't even that bad dude had almost 40% equity. Wah. I lost one last night where I was 98%. He had 1 out for str8 flush. 200bb deep. @#$% you.

I've played on tons of poker sites in the last nine years, and I've seen far more suckouts on Global than on any other site. I'm also a much bigger winner on Global than on any other site that I've played on.

What should we infer from this then? Its rigged toward you?

Not rigged for me (or for anybody in particular). My "evidence" is strictly anecdotal and could merely reflect selective memory on my part. If it's "rigged" (so to speak) to make suckouts slightly more likely, it would keep the bad players rolled a bit longer (ergo, more rake for Global). I think that the relatively soft player pool would more than offset any possible bias in the dealing of the cards so the good players would still profit in the long run.

I am not saying that Global is rigged in any way. Just saying that my personal observations is consistent with the riggie narrative.

I've noticed much of the same. Deposited 50 cashed out 1050. So it is what it is, but the run outs seem unrealistic. Until they let players have access to hand histories they're going to have to deal with these accusations.

Yeah tbh I've seen more quads and str8 flushes in 3 weeks of playing on global than I have in the previous 12 years playing. I wouldn't say its rigged but it sure seems like there's a lot of crazy boards. Like I was in a hand I had KJo v1 had JJ v2 had 910️. Flop KKJ️️. All the money goes in in a 3way flurry of betting. Turn Q️ river A️. Really? Seen boat vs quads on flop multiple times. Makes me wonder. I have a hard time buying into the rugged conspiracy though. Also I deposited 20$ and I'm currently at 1064 so I'm by no means complaining.

Yes, in addition to all the times of losing to quads and straight flushes, are all the times you stack your opponents for trying to draw to 1 or 2 outs. When opponents will not fold, they get to realize the slim equity of hitting a miracle card.

If necessary, make notes on all the hands you win where opponents had outs to quads or straight flushes and missed.

Have fun,

100% agree. Also there are the times were we end up on top of the miracle flops and runouts.

Quite nice of these rooms to use quads and straight flushes with their rigs, even though bloated cash pots is not what the sites even want from an income perspective. Imagine if they were actually sinister and did the rig on hands that nobody would even notice to actually, you know, make money with the rig and not be so obvious with it.

All the best.

I just say this... online poker in the US isn’t very good. All of our options have flaws. Pick your poison.

There's a correlation between these two things.

LMFAO

I have pointed this out many times, and I just don't understand why the message doesn't get through. Actually I do understand why the message doesn't get through, but let's set that said.

Try to use logic here people, if a site was crooked and wanted to pull in way more rake, split pots would be where the money would be made. Hand out AK to the two big stacks, make the flop KdKxd throw and Ad on the turn that completes the flush and boom... more rake than they will know what to do with. And if I have realized that. Surely they have too as well. You don't want players winning big pots and leaving the site, that doesn't help generate rake at all.

In almost a year and I'd assume over a million hands at this point, here's what I notice..

1. Global is beatable.
2. The field is not strong
3. The cards do not feel natural and they never have.

I only play cash, only a couple of levels...

The cards are either:

1. About normal
2. Absolutely insanely horrid, pure carnage bad beats for 10-14 days.

So I've either run right about at equity... or in 10 day or so blocks... run so laughably bad that it looks like video poker. There is no in between, there's no mix.

It's one... or the other. (And never run at super high equity)

You can make money, which is why the shils shil for the site. I'm not arguing that.
You can't download hand histories so nothing can be proven either way.

I'm considerable winner at my level v. money invested. But, the site has never played like anythign other than video poker. From the very get-go I commented about it.

The company reminds us regularly that it's a "sweepstakes" model and that "poker is a game of luck."

So, do with that what you will.
