I’ve played well over 10k games on this site split equally between mtts and sngs so I’d like to assume that’s sufficient volume to be able to comment on this topic. Can’t really speak about the cash game side because my volume in that format is very limited.
I have no real incentive to make this post, in fact it’s almost certainly in my best interests financially to NOT share my honest thoughts as it would be a shame to see Global no longer exist with how insanely soft the player pool is.
However, I think it’s comical to see some people on here blindly defend Global when it’s pretty blatantly clear something is nefarious with the way the site is operating. This opinion is shared with a number of other winning regulars that I’ve spoken with about the site.
In the interest of not turning this post into a book, I won’t go into specific detail as to what I think is potentially going on. Does the OP have some bad takes? Absolutely, the “cashout curse” is not particularly a strong argument. But he does make a good point with respects to some sort of ELO rating being used, as it is pretty clear to me that winning players are being handicapped vs the net-depositors (losing recreationals) to the site.
Global could easily put this matter to rest by releasing hand histories, but since the inception of the site that is the ONE change they have been adamant on not acting upon. I think that is very telling in itself considering how open they’ve been in general to making other improvements in the best interests of the players.
ay, whats your screenname on global? pm me if you dont feel like sharing it publicly, im trying to surmise the fact that the majority of players saying things are sus are the losing players, i could be wrong but this is just my opinion. apologize if im wrong but it doesnt feel that way
