I guess if your definition of allot is 34 % then sure .. "allot" disagree but allot more Agree.

You also said GP aren't even acknowledging this.

Which is wrong.

Its a pointless debate and I won't bother commenting on it further.



I haven't once said the $500 and $5000 was for gold coin members only. I said they are for active members of GP.

It amazes me how many do not know the rules of this promotion.

Go to your profile section on global poker. Click challenges. Look at the $500 Bonanza qualifications. It will say ....

ANY Ring Game ...... ANY Ring Game ..... that means you can qualify by playing the play money tables. You do not need to rake a single cent to qualify for these games.


hmmmm ... well, this must be awkward for you.

First of all, what is “allot”? Is that a word?

Second of all, do you think this poll represents the entire Global Poker community? You cannot poll the entire Global Poker community therefore you have no idea exactly how many votes are opposed to rakeback. I see no indication of Global Poker being interested whatsoever in incorporating rakeback or the other silly bonuses you recommended. You’re clearly not intelligent enough to see how negatively this will impact the cash games on Global.

Oh no .. I misspelled a word on an internet forum.. who cares.

No-one said this represented the entire Global Poker community. And I never claimed I could poll everyone.

I also never claimed GP was interested in RakeBack, they clearly said no to it. I simply pointed out that you were wrong about GP acknowledging "this".

Regs have been and will continue to come to Global Poker regardless of some small cash play promotion.

Are you done with your tantrum ?


You clearly are not intelligent enough to realize the positive impact a small cash promotion will have on Global Poker.

What happened to being done with this conversation? Another lie by you? Are you done with your tantrum?

I wanted to address your new statements and questions, so I quoted you and did so.

And while I was wasting my time doing that, I also wanted to reassure you that you were still wrong.

Have a nice day

Whatever floats your boat dude. You continue derailing your own thread. I’ll go crush fish that love playing here due to the lack of nitty regs and rakeback. You have a nice day, as well.

I didn't derail anything. I started the topic and try to address the majority that enter.

Any post that bumps the topic to the front page or top of the front page is a worthwhile post.

Thanks again

You kind of are derailing the thread and actually a few other threads I have noticed.

You post biblical length posts that doesn't really have many facts, like a lot of lawyer talk. Spinning around and around, that's definitely derailing threads.

I just looked you have the 3 last posts in 3 different threads and all 3 of those threads you are bombard posting in them anything to spin towards your narrative.

It's getting to be quite frankly embarrassing and difficult to read the forum now. Like I'd be interested in how much you even play because you are like rage posting at a rate I've never seen someone do before.

At the very least you have an insane amount of free time on your hands.

I haven't posted here in quite some time and I haven't derailed anything. I made you more informed on how the 500 bonanza works. No need to get salty over it.

I try to address as many as I can in this topic and welcome any view points for or against a bonus / kick back for cash play.

Thanks for contributing to the topic.

Do you play poker or work for global? because you are trying to come off like you work for the company. You have said a few things that come off like you're a shill.

I do not work for global and certainly do not shill for them. This topic should be plenty indication of that.

I have played very little at global poker over the past 6 months. If they start to offer some sort of bonus for cash play, I may up my volume at the site again.

I am sure I will grind a few sessions at global poker again at some point regardless.


I do how ever have a sat ticket to one of the madness games I plan on using in the up coming days.

just wanted to quote it before you tried to edit/delete that you admit you don't even play. alright see ya broski! at the tables.. LMAO.

No worries on me editing the post.

The percentages have been fairly steady throughout the polls short life span. I wonder if any of the "other" votes been swayed in one direction or the other.

Vote and comment get your opinions heard

I used to not want rakeback but now that the site has been discovered by regs I feel I grind way too much not to get some sort of incentive.

The rake on short handed/heads up games is detrimental to the site's poker economy. Regs would start a lot more games if the rake structure was closer to the industry standard.

The current structure creates an environment where 2 players starting a game are both likely -EV while waiting for other players to join.

I often find above $2/4 there are a handful of games going but they are all 6/6 or 1/6. This is a major problem and I believe would help regs, recreational players and global poker in the long run.

Yeah their short handed rake structure is definitely detrimental to more games getting started and running. I play a lot and wont start games as I can't overcome the rake. The reason it's too high is in short handed games you have to play way more hands. So every hand gets raked really hard and in most instances it's not overcome-able..

It's also not good for the optics of when the bad players all bust. the high rake means all the regs often quit and the game breaks.

Lower rake is in line with what we are trying to accomplish with this topic.


As I said earlier in the thread .... Regs are coming regardless and to an extent already at Global. A small promotion focus on cash players only won't change that.

Id love lower rake or maybe some kind of rakeback program. I think with a rakeback program it has the potential to become one of the biggest US sites

ive been an online reg for 10 years. nobody wants rb more than me. that being said, DO NOT offer rakeback. it turns the cash games into rock gardens full of rakeback pros. DO NOT change it. it sucks. i know this as well as anyone. but this decision is not close. period

tbh imo the rng being so outta what so many expect and feel is normal has/will shut down a lot of the action also from the thinking players. Under those circumstances its super +ev to tighten way up, less rake for cash games and risk of ruin and far less ICM tax in tournament structured games. Basically just wait till the river to create action when you know your hand is a lock, or on the turn but careful of the 1-2 outers that seem more like flips a lot of times.

wtf r u talking about. ive played on almost every site on earth over the last 5 years and the rng feels fine here

Lower rake would be great. I think a flop xxxx for xx price would go nicely with the structure and past promos GP has offered.

A small amount of rake back wouldn't ... lets say 10 - 15 %. I think a small rakeback promotion in the form of flops seen would bring even more action to the cash tables as the recs will try and reach the number of required hands for the "Free Cash" reward.

I want to change my original thoughts on the rewards. The site is getting really reg infested. This site doesnt have a table cap like ignition to keep the best players from playing on lots of tables. Nor does it have the rewards/rakeback of WPN.

A table cap maybe not as low as ignition but some sort of cap and a reward system thats not as good as WPN's but better then ignition would do alot of good for the long term sustainability of the ecosystem.

I think Global thought that the crappy software and lack of hud compatibility would keep regs from 16+ tabling. What they forgot is that regs just build/buy their own software if they think it's worth the money, and clearly they've decided the games at GP are worth it.

If you don't want to invest a bunch of time and money into custom built software, you're at a disadvantage on global. They should even the playing field for recreational players by allowing commercial HUD use. This will not only give recreational players the tools that pros are already exploiting them with, it will also improve game integrity by allowing for HH databases to be used to detect collusion and other foul play.

Also, if they cap the tables it will help the ecosystem a lot - but it's probably not in their short term financial interest to do so.

Do you know where they sell hud lol? Is there any instance where people got caught using hud? All regs playing 1/2 + are mass tabling. I am not sure if they are using hud or not. It would suck if they are using it and having an edge.

Cap the table to 6 or something would be beneficial. Recs do not multitable much.
