Everyone has a hand. Like every single time. It seems if someone 3bets, or raises on the flop, or really raises or puts in aggressive action whatsoever at any time, they probably have the fourth nuts or better.

Am I just stupid or has Global been like this for other people where you gotta fold AA on any board if it gets raised cause villain's got a set, like every time. Thoughts?

Get it all in preflop with aces. Good luck.

There are some pretty good books available and there is a coaching section here on 2+2. It helps to remember AA is just a pair, a really nice pair but still just a pair.

Aces lose about 20% of the time against one player, 30% of the time against two, and 40% of the time against three players, etc. You want to play them aggressively preflop and isolate 1 or 2 players to maximize your chance of winning.

what youre describing sounds pretty nice actually. whenever an opponent raises, you're behind so u fold, sounds like a pretty easy site

I should have acted less stupid in OP lol. Yeah I'm not doing great at Global but I'm not terribad at poker. Honest question, do Global games around these stakes seem quite tight overall or am I mistaken? I'm coming from Ignition where there was at least some 3betting/4betting light and more bluffing or other spaz plays but honestly everyone on Global seems like a giant nit. Even the fish aren't cally, when even the worst players get to showdown I'm always seeing good hands. I mean a good hand made with **** like 83o, but they always have it. Everyone.Always.Has.It. Your opinions?

Then the solution sounds easy: bet/fold all day.

My experience is different. I played (and occasionally still play) on Ignition. And I found the players on Global to be looser. That doesn't mean they don't have a good hand when they raise; they usually do. But that isn't unusual. Preflop they will call with all kinds of bad hands; there are many more limpers and limp/callers than you will see on Ignition.

I noticed PLO isn't math friendly there. They didn't seem tight, just horrendous.

They are loose but passive, that's why you don't see them 3 betting or bluffing as much.

You all are helping a lot, tyvm.

This is sound advice. Don't be afraid to lay AA down post-flop if your opponent is normally very passive but now putting in triple barrels and the board is highly connected. Like steamboatin said, it's just a pair.

However, continue to pressure your opponents to stick it all in the middle with KK or AA. That is the ideal scenario you want.

Absorb the free content on YouTube from reputable sources, that's enough to win at lower stakes

I spent my first few thousand hands at low stakes PLO on Global Poker losing all my money with AAxx. Coming from holdem, overplaying AAxx is probably the biggest losing mistake I see, especially at lower stakes. Once I started "slowplaying" all of my non-premium AAxx (AA72, AA95) etc.., and basically folding most of them post flop, did I start to win the money.

Low stakes PLO is all about post flop patterns. It seems you now have a good idea of the frequencies of the player pool you are at. Now, just adjust your game accordingly. Different player pool = different strategy.

If your opponents always have it in certain spots, start playing those spots differently. Stop value betting light, and check back or check fold those spots. The biggest exploits I made at low stakes were.. FOLDS! It can be painfully obvious when low stakes players have it. Getting over the the fear of being bluffed and making disciplined decisions for small amounts of money, beats the lower limits as far as I can tell.

If you have more than one caller after raising with AAxx, you will be check folding ALOT of flops, depending on what you think your opponents ranges are. It sucks, but if it is happening a lot, then that means you are getting good action preflop, and will eventually be getting paid when you do hit.

Also consider that you may only by raising or re-raising with AAxx in certain spots, making it very easy to play against you. I will call with any 4 decent cards if I get 3 bet or 4 bet by someone who has AAxx 90% of the time. Try mixing up your 3 and 4 bets to include nice double suited rundowns and start to stack people who have a set vs your straight and fd.

Low stakes are terribly easy once you respect them! GL!

You need to learn the Global Poker hand ranking chart. It is a chart that applies nowhere else but critical for successful play at Global as it fits into the real time assistance for bad play.

5) J6(s)
4) Q5(s)
3) KT
2) Q8
1) KJ - The absolute nuts on global.

Other powerful hands include all traditional "trouble" hands or hands that are often dominated.

Good luck and have fun!

27 is the nuts on global!

THe sites been full of nut peddling nits for probably over a year now. Your lucky if your coin flipping in a pot. And its fish with very low short stacks on the table. Iggy has more action and bluffing cause players are anonymous. Imo global should go anonymous and the action would be a lot better or make everyone put in an ante to create more pre flop action. Until then enjoy the coolers or play on iggy.

No thanks. If Global Poker did that, I would no longer play there. I have serious security concerns with Ignition. When everyone is anonymous, there is no way you are knowing whether you are beating cheated or not.

When you play cash games and you catch AA, you raise, someone 3bets you, you push allin, and they call you down 100BB deep with 75o and then flop a full house, this is a problem. Then the person immediately gets up and leaves the table. I would understand if this happened one time, but this happens constantly.

I played very little cash games on Ignition; mostly MTT and STT. Global is generally looser than Ignition in the nanostakes tournies (in my personal experience).
