Here goes:

Yes.

Don't believe GP was forthright about why they stopped using Paypal. GP never said that Paypal "pulled out." It was apparently a GP decision.

Evidence is largely non-existent in this thread.

OP hasn't posted in over a year. But many riggies of his ilk are providing plenty of comic relief that many of us need to cope with this rough and tumble world.

another quad heavy and funny site, PPPoker , is "certified" as well. another bull****e site, WSOP play money (where you buy fake chips), is "certified" too. i'm 100% sure we can trust these upstanding certifiers , who cant make much money at all as a business, in a world where Trump is president of the United States. LOL!!!!!

I'm not saying that anyone should or should not trust Global. It's a personal decision. I have yet to personally see solid evidence that I shouldn't trust Global.

Having said that: "Play at your own risk!"

I just risked 15bb on the bubble with AK and got snapped by KJ (9bb) and then QJsuited overcalled with (30bb)


flop QQQ turn K

QJs name was "babycakes" and was 6x opening . haha!


crazy stuff here

You just convinced me to deposit.

Been playing ignition for 2 years and live for 5. Switched to global a few weeks ago because I've heard its soft and the sng schedule is better. Dont care what anybody says. The RNG is ****ed, the amount of suckouts and runner-runner flushes/straights/quads is unreal. Have been on both ends of it, won 1500 my first 2 weeks constantly coolering people with ridiculous runouts, had my suspicions that it wasnt right but kept playing because I was winning. Started to see the tide turning the other way (not variance, I know variance and this is NOT VARIANCE) so I withdrew 90% of my roll. Still play some here and there and the suckouts continue to be unreal. **** is 100% fradualant but of course well never know because they don't release hh's.

I believe you

So, why should we care what you say?

I've felt the same way, but almost never see quads.

Since by your own admission you've only been playing on GP a few weeks, why couldn't it be variance?

I have that impression, too. But without data it's just a "feeling" on my part.

HH's would be nice, but even sites with HH have claims of fraud. As has been pointed out many times in this thread, if a poker site wants to run a fraudulant operation, they don't need to mess with the RNG to do it.

Well, that settles it then.

Thought process of rileymadison2345...

"136 pages of similar rigged claims but no one is convinced there is a problem. I know I will write a difficult to read paragraph with anecdotal claims and speeling airers, that will convince them."

Lmao. Not trying to convince anyone of anything. Was tilted last night after a long session of gross suckouts. That being said, run outs dont feel right and I'm glad I was able to get the majority of my money out before it was all stolen.

Well, it's good you weren't trying to convince anyone, because you lost all credibility when you suggested that you could tell that it wasn't variance after playing for a few weeks.

Still think the site is ****ing rigged; still playing on it cause the players make up for it.

That being said it's really gone downhill in terms of game quality past few months.

Strange. I have had the exact opposite happen to me. I wonder if there is a concept where we could both be experiencing different feelings when at the table, yet it all was mathematically possible?

I 100% agree with riley madison. I played on global for about 8 months and played a lot. I switched over the summer to another site and i totally agree with his description. You can run hot or not but either way the cards that run out are not the normal math. I've read the arguments on both sides of this long debate. From my own personal experience between the 2 sites mathematically speaking: one seems to be right in line with live poker and one does not. That being said I do acknowledge that there are some very successful consistent winning players on the site...cheers to them.

exactly.

I'm playing PLO not NL so you aren't at my tables =p

This makes your complaint about variance even more idiotic.

Edges are much bigger in PLO so your std dev will often be really low. If anything the fact I play PLO should show I'm much more used to insane runouts and variance....

Still, so many times I'm just like "wtf is this runout" "how does it always come perfect perfect to **** me/him" "these hands are absurd".

If your comment is meant as a joke, well played sir.

If your comment is not meant as a joke, you might want to look into chess.

This isn't necessarily true. Generally it's the opposite, as the most common thing that contributes to a high edge also increases SD, which is loose players that don't fold often enough.

For obvious reasons SD and edge are not independent, since EV is literally a variable in the SD formula, but they are mostly independent. You can have a sky high SD while crushing the games, or an extremely low SD while crushing the games, or an extremely low SD while being a loser.

Deposited a few days ago and am up about $100, this site is weird and definitely seems like action flops happen very often, along with perfect ~1% run outs that cause max action such as player 1 turning their gut shot to the nuts only for player 2 to make 2 pair and runner runner the boat. It's a soft site and I'll keep on playing but IDK about future deposits. Feels too much like a slot machine for me.

Your experience kinda lines up with mine after over a year playing on GP.

edit: n.b. This is my experience, and should not be construed as a defense of the "GP is rigged" position.

Yeah, Global is much more like live poker.

Why would a site want to rig the RNG in such a way as to make less money?
