Yes. It's an advantage that your site has compared to some others that have registration that lasts seemingly forever.

Not 3-5 hours of late reg, just a standard 1 hour. Don't really get what the downside of that would be.

Are there any plans for higher buyin tournies? There seems to be ok traffic at midstakes cash so I'm guessing the site could support some midstakes tournies.

Yes!

Please no late reg for more than an hour. 3-5 hours late reg is unbearable

No late reg please! It's great like it is, The 3-5 hour LR games on other sites is brutal, I actually enjoy tournaments again with your format.

Hi guys

We are running a Daytona 500 freeroll series on Sunday. 10 x $500 starts every half hour. Begins at 2pm EST. It will be up in the lobby during the day tomorrow. You will also gete an email about it.

Good luck.

Yeah we are trying to see what goes at this stage. But we will def try to spread higher tournaments.

thanks GP ganna be action packed!

Also love the no late registration feature.

Would love it more if the tournaments didn't start 4 minutes early

it be sick to have like a day where we have turbo structure turnys like 2$ 4$ turbos would be very fun

I like the site but haven't play'd much due to late start times. I am going to start playing some of the 8 PM Est and earlier games. Anything later then that and the games end too late for me to consistently play. Would like the flop challenge games to start a little earlier as well. Even an hour would make a big difference.

I don't think it is a good Idea to have no games running at all from 11PM - 5PM EST the next day. Anything in the lobby is better then nothing in the lobby. Even Having 2-3 small GNTd games mixed with regular games during that time will at least make the lobby look more full and give more option to players.

At least add an earlier game or two on the weekends. A good percentage of people who work don't work on the weekends so it might up the players who join.

+1 to no late reg unless it is a very small amount. I see no issue with 10 minutes to give players who may have forgot to register a chance to do so. Too many sites have went crazy with late registration.

Please do not move the flop challenge games. Any earlier and you're cutting off the left couple time zones as people aren't home from work yet.

9pm ET is probably a sweet spot for the promotional games, it's not so late that the East coast players have to burn the midnight oil to play, and yet 6pm PT gives the West coast players time to get home from work at least. Right now the 111 flops is at 9ET along with the 1500gtd rebuy, I think those work good. The 100 flops being offset to 10ET is better than offsetting it to be earlier imo. And the purchaser challenge (which you can easily play every day for a $5 gold coins purchase) at 8ET is fine to have one earlier.

Rather than move around what's already there, I'd prefer to see new tourneys added to bolster the early schedule.

This was the week to capitalize on the increased traffic from the Sunday freerolls with some decent tournaments, but nothing.

I think the vast majority of us want this site to succeed, they have to get the ball rolling a bit

EST + Players are going past Midnight in staple games. 10 EST is too late and run these players into playing until 2- 3 am. Players who work ( and even those who don't ) won't be able to play these games with any consistency.

If not at least switch the two games. It stands to reason there are less people in the 111 Flop game so it should end quicker then the 100 flops. It would also give players playing at a higher table limit an extra hour to reach the 111 flop min which makes more sense then vise versa.

In short some better options imo are...

Push the flops back an hour + Switch Both games start times add 30 min late reg.

Have the $1500 Daily at 7 EST. At 9 EST will have EST + playing well past Midnight. This wouldn't be a big issue if it was one of the other gntd games. But this is the biggest daily game.

Same with the weekly $2500 GNTD it starts at 11 EST. Push it back some. Put 30 min late reg on it if you want. Its ok to have some late reg just don't go over board IMO or move it to the weekend when less people have to work. Even if it is pushed to the weekend the time still should be pushed back a little.

30 minute late reg on your bigger games is a good Idea regardless. It gives those who forgot to register a chance to get in. Which from my perspective is what late reg was intended for instead of what sites use it for today.

I live in New York so I will say this without bias.....

The world does not revolve around EST.

Just add some tournaments!

I am not in EST so I say this without bias.

The world does not evolve around any time zone.

More added tournaments would be a plus as I mention in an earlier post. The highest GNTD of the week and month shouldn't start so late IMO.

Just giving my input the site operators know what is best.

I live in New York, work full time, and will be all over this tournament tonight

Good Luck ! I likely won't be playing.

My suggestions are still valid.

FTR I don't live in ET or PT I'm in the middle.

The world doesn't revolve around any time zone, but the GP business model currently revolves around the 4 US time zones, so let's stay on point.

I don't really see them moving their marquee nightly tourney, the 1500, any earlier. 7pm ET cuts off the left half of the country for anyone with a day job. It's not good business, they want that particular event accessible to as much of the 4 time zones as possible. Yes this tourney runs longer than most so it tips past midnight ET, but let's keep in mind it only does so for a handful of players each night. Last night for me it was over around 10:30 ET lol.

This makes sense to me... good, sound reasoning. I'm not sure they want to make these games start earlier, they want them accessible to the whole country so there's more incentive for players to sit cash games, but flip flopping them makes a lot of sense.

I also agree about the 2500gtd starting so late, not sure why that is but it is really pushing the envelope on the Eastern half... at this point it's only once a week though. Maybe if/when they expand this tourney they could rotate the start times more to have it earlier than 11ET on some nights or just move it back an hour or so.

I am sure Global Poker plans on marketing to everyone not just specific time zones that fit the narrative of keeping the games as is. Finding the perfect mix is hard and likely impossible thus my suggestions.





Start at 7:30 add 30 min late reg. As it stands all key games are all later games in EST.

Daily $1500 9 EST .. Weekly $2500 11 EST .. 100 Flop 10 EST ... 111 Flop 9 EST ... 100 Flop 10 EST ... with some other gntds mixed in between these games. While there are 0 games from 11PM EST to 5 PM EST. Put some games up. They don't even have to be GNTD just something in the lobby.

Are you claiming the Daily $1500 Gntd only last 1.5 hours ? I actually never play'd due to start time and the lobby doesn't show completed games.


Anyways .. they were just some suggestions.

No, I busted about 30 minutes after the add on lol

The tourney runs about 4 hours. For 80%+ of the field it's 2.5 hours or less.

hi guys

Thanks for all your suggestions. As you are saying,its not easy to please all timezones, especially not when we are so fresh out of the box. We will spread this out more and more over time as we grow. Tournament schedule will change and more and more will be added. I can give you a little inside info... We are launching a March Madness poker series in about 10 days. A whole new set of tournaments with over $100k in challenges and guarantees. This on top of our normal schedule with some exceptions.

wow! amazing! im pumped!
