INTRODUCING HEADS-UP

SIT 'N' GOS

More and more players have been requesting these, so we introduced Heads-Up Sit 'n' Gos at Global Poker this week and they've been going off like crazy!
Heads-Up Sit 'n' Gos are the purest form of 1 on 1 poker battles and there's nowhere to hide! You'll need deception and nerves of steel to beat your opponent and walk away with all his chips.

This weekend, we're adding extra buy-ins to make sure you find the game you're looking for. You now have a choice between the following $weeps Cash buyins: SC$3.21, SC$8.56, SC$16.05, SC$32.10, SC$53.50. Or try your hand at Gold Coins first for a buy-in of GC1050.

You'll find them by clicking the Sit 'n' Go tab and typing in "Heads-Up" in the search field.

Global's business model is to primarily cater to recreational players. I don't think that the vast majority of recreational players pay much attention to rake.

When I was a newbie playing on Pokerstars, I played in the $1 full ring sngs which had a $.20 rake! I didn't think twice about it.

The good regs say no to 7% rake

That allows a mediocre reg like myself to thrive.

Thank you global

Seems these have been running even at $50s which is great!

Will definitely be jumping in soon.

Action is actually sick in these so far even at $50s, mostly been able to get 2-4 tables at 30s and 50s within a couple minutes! And $15s generally have 2 or 3 games running anytime I check -- great, hope husngs live for a while here.

If we've played in the past couple days or play in the future glgl to you.

Rake still too high and rematch button necessary (think "play again" button in spins, except spawns table vs same opponent), but super stoked to have these games actually running so far. Of course, when they're less new we'll see how the traffic keeps up.

Dead game format too...

Is the structure posted online somewhere? Any chance of higher buyins like 100s or 200s?

Why would it be? Any Global player can simply log in and see the structure with a couple clicks of their mouse.

Careful with their structure, they have labeled all the HU tables and "turbos" but they're actually 3 min blinds which is a hyper turbo structure. As I'm not a HU SNG player IDK if this is standard or not, but I'm guessing not.

Definitely not mislabeled. Pokerstars turbos, for instance, have 3 minute levels starting 75bb deep.

Actually I was wrong, the levels are 3 minutes. Still relatively more in line with turbo husngs across the internet.

Fair enough. That's why I disclaimered I'm not a HU SNG player.

Thanks for the clarification.

The past couple days I will register for 4 of these and the tables are taking several minutes to pop up or never do. Last night they never did. This morning they 3 of 4 popped up after 5-10 minutes. 1 never popped up while I could wait. I'm pretty sure my balance from last night was affected. What is going on?
