Global Poker Traffic - Page 8 - Global Poker -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

One big issue is the nit regs who won't sit with another reg to get tables going. Fish don't want to play heads up, but they'll play 2-3 way. I understand shorthanded rake is brutal, but just tank every decision until a fun player shows up.

That would be the proper thing to do, but most poker players have a tough time seeing the long-term EV of such a play.

Sad really. Gotta remember, poker is a business and needs to be managed as such!

Cash games on global are really not predatory. Because of the low number of games running you can't really table select and people just play their tables out during their session (as others have said).

On BCP the other month I was playing cash on an account that hadn't played a hand in a couple years so I was being seat-scripted hardcore and then sat out after they saw I was a reg. Or when I played on stars about 4-5 years ago because my account hadn't had activity in a couple years timst0ne would ****ing seatscript me on 12 tables at once and then instantly sit out.

I just find the traffic is way down, not making it worth my time. All the games from the top down simply dried up, or have incredibly tight players at them. If you look at pot sizes, they've halved at all levels.

And now you're lucky to see 2-3 tables running at ANY level except micros.

My second complaint would be support, which is annoying at the best of times.

I log in every couple months to see how the action is... around a year ago there were 6-10 200nl games running almost every hour of the day. always action up to 5/10, almost always 10/20 running.

now there's no 200nl+ running except one 1knl game. there's one 100nl game. there's nothing at 50nl and just a couple tables running below that.

what happened? did the traffic fall 80%+ just from losing paypal as a processor?

I would still like them to get sponsored on a podcast, joe rogans would be great, or any big podcast would.
