A highly skilled chess player will almost never lose against an average/decent player.

Glad the rep got back to you Riddick, like all the reps I've dealt with on all the other networks here, they are pretty decent people and usually can get a good resolution.

I agree. A highly skilled Chess player will almost never lose to even an above average player just as a highly skilled poker player almost never losing to an average/decent player. A couple hands sure, but if you are playing at a table for a period of time other than a "hit and run" scenario... nah. Agreed?

Let's be honest man. Without sensible input from you, Bobo, and a few others I wouldn't even have had the chance to contact a rep because I was too infuriated initially. We'll see how it goes. Thanks.

Im sure it'll go fine if you can regulate and manage your level of fury.

Is this a serious question? To combat fraud and cheating, of course.

I wouldn't want to play on a site that didn't log IP addresses. It would be a cheaters' and fraudsters' paradise.

this wasn't /thread? guess i have to keep reading

Poker isn't actually illegal. It is the charging of any fee and participation in the rewards that makes it illegal in the U.S. Utilizing the sweepstakes laws to allow people to use and receive real legal tender is great. Outside the US it is probably viewed negatively, but in the States it is a great way to run a site. Kudos to anyone smart enough to find away around all the bs red-tape and nonsense legislation.

It is very enjoyable to see plain as day circumvention around inane political legislation that helps no one. If they could figure out a way to get solid tax security/lien and satisfy the tribes, every online site would be allowed here. Politicians don't give the slightest **** about the citizens or aiding them.

No apology necessary.

I read your message and it was pretty much spot on. I apologize for once again habitually over-elaborated with a book-size response. Looking forward to seeing if you are able to help me out of this hole I dug for myself. Thank you.

I (MightyWhite1) cashed out 2k last week, 4K this week. It's legit 100%. Fast payouts too. Come let me crush you. I'm not a hater I just crush a lot

I wonder what the NV gaming commission's thoughts are on this. I'm sure they're thrilled an unregulated site has found a way to operate in their market "legally". You can make that statement for a few other states as well. Even the "offshore" sites don't touch those.

It's a bold move cotton let's see how it pays off.

If you like having your guts ripped out again and again, and cussing at your computer until you almost smash it, then Global Poker is the site for you.

Let me start by saying that I've cashed out Thousand$ of dollar$ here. They pay FAST! But the turmoil of playing here reeks havoc on your emotions so consistently, the gut wrenching frustration is near indescribable.

First of all, the number of bad beats surpasses every other poker site on which I've played. And I've played on quite a few. Yesterday I played in about 20 Sit and Go's. I won one, and lost 16 of 19 when I was the favorite. The horrible players that play these sites can't lay anything down! People chase inside str8's ALL-IN on the RIVER and the site pays them off. The chance of this happening back to back, again and again, is like being struck by lightning the same day you win the lottery. IT'S NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE! In real life, you can't lose a dozen all-in's in a row when you are the favorite. But at GP, it's the norm. Especially if you won a tournament the night before.

Secondly, the number of 4 card miracle hands and runner runners they produce is amazingly high. Those account for a third of my losses. What a HOOT!

Third, they frequently set you up. You're dealt a monster, and someone else is dealt the miracle nut flop. I'm playing there right now as I write this review. I've played 6-7 tourneys today, and that's happened to me TWICE so far. Happens most days.

Fourth, the counterfeit you like crazy. Your 2 pair is someone else's str8 or flush. And quads... I see quads all the time. I mucked 4 lousey hands in one day where I woulda hit quads if I'd played.

One of the quirkier things that I see is their propensity to deal cards adjacent to my cards hand after hand. C'mon, there's 13 different numbered cards. How come when I have Q9, they often deal me something like K8. And if I'm playing 2 tables, it's amazing how often my hand on table 1 would give me the nuts on table 2, and vice versa, AT THE SAME TIME! What's worse is they seem to torment you by dealing the exact cards you needed in the previous hand on your current hand. Never seen that happen as much as it does here. Is my computer possessed? Am I cursed??? Seems that way.

I've always thought that these sites do something that helps bad players hit more hands. Doing so would increase their revenues by maintaining a higher number of active players. So there is a huge incentive for them to utilize that practice. You know what they say, "Follow The Money!"

One last tip, if you hit the flop BIG, Never Never Never slow play it. They usually pay off someone else.

In closing, I agree with the very first poster. This is a SWEEPSTAKES. It is NOT poker. It just resembles poker. The winner is determined before the hand is dealt. Any 2 cards can beat pocket AA. If you are willing to play lowball, and FOLD, FOLD, FOLD until you reach the river with a winning hand, then you can make money here. Otherwise, you will lose.

If this isn't some elaborate troll then I just don't know what the world has come to at this point. I give up on the human race

This is probably a dumb question, but how do I find transaction History on Global Poker?

Ive found this section of the sight that I thought would have my history, but it just comes up blank everytime.

That section shows my history, although I don't have any Gold Coin purchases, just withdraws, so I don't know if it shows the purchases there or not

poker is a game full of bad beats and coolers. Just cuz its online dont mean your aces will hold up any better than in a casino.

the difference is that people don't go all-in very loose in live cash games. Because of that, AA really only gets all-in vs K9 in the online streets, and not live games.

Because of that, players who think everything is rigged will say "AA never loses to K9 in a casino!" Which I suppose is technically true, since most OMC casino regs won't wager all of their chips with K9.

GPPokerPlayer:

I recommend playing a lot of SnGs at one time; as many as you can handle, in fact. That way, you won't even have the time to be EMOTIONALLY DEVASTATED by your SICK BEATS, because you have action waiting for you on a bunch of other tables.

You will become a SnG robot whose only weakness is HUNGRY and SLEEPY. It will benefit your emotional stability AND your wallet. GL!

To "reek" is to stink, to emit an unpleasant odor, like the dude from Game of Thrones when Ramsey strung him up.

Thanks for the great advice. Played 9 SNGs this afternoon, cashed 5, one bubble, and twice out first. Oddly enough, I am hungry and heading out for some dinner. You are quite the oracle.

This thread Is amazing. Makes me even happier half these riggies are in my games lol

Has anyone played any ring hands against cryariver? He has been involved in 100% of the pots at my table has not lost a hand in over an hour. Seems very suspicious. Possible superuser?

So you're telling me this player has won 70+ hands the last hour? I find this hard to believe. It's likely a bad player who plays every hand and is winning via pure aggression along with the occasional run good at showdowns. I'm sure you're forgetting the hands he does fold or loses.

They could just put this entire thread to bed by joining the 21st century and allowing a downloadable hand history. It's not just for personal use, but HHs have been used to catch superusers, as well as colluding.

Won't put the thread to bed, unfortunately. People are convinced that PokerStars and other sites that export to PT4 are rigged against them also.

Allowing downloadable HH won't stop THE MAN from bringing the straight vs my QQ on the river

Why on earth would we ever want to put this thread to bed?

What would I read for enjoyment whilst enjoying my morning coffee if we did?!?!
