So I've been bluffing a lot on this site in lower stakes just to mess around, and than when i do get a real hand, i literally induce some players to bluff 3 buyin stack with Q high or nothing, no draw either.

Is this site that fishy or did I just get lucky and run into fish?>

Your thoughts?

You must have been on a very loose table. For the most part, Global is the toughest site I have ever played, and definitely not profitable. Consider your win a lucky one. If you are a serious player looking to shoot fish in a barrel, I'd advise you to look elsewhere.

Lolllll.

i thought the nature of being on twoplustwo filtered these types of posts? guess not

Wow that is SUPER weird!! That exact same thing happened to me twice in my very first sesh. I took that as a sign of great things to come for me on GP. My poker career was finally going to take off, or so I thought. My very next session within 5 mins of sitting down I was down like 4 BIs so I stopped playing for that day. The next day it happened again! I waited a couple of days and redeposited and what do u know I blew through that deposit in one night! I really didn't know what to think and then I ran across the GP RNG thread and I started getting some of the answers I was looking for thank god. I would def say the answer to ur question is NO but I did do some investigating for u and I ran across a site called 'Plenty of Fish'. Maybe u will find what ur looking for there

I was a winning player before playing at Global Poker. I to first experience a "lucky" table full of fish. I was running good and playing even better ... until that dreaded "variance" and "cashout " curse hit me. Aside from that one lucky table I was at, I was running into some of the toughest competition I ever came across online. Nothing I could do but watch my bankroll dwindle while the sharks ate it up.

I may need to check out this " Plenty of Fish " site to try and get a better ROI !

I am trying to grind out 5nl but it's tough compared to Ignition. No HUDS = no reads

Its not like it was months ago. Now its getting full of tag and weak tight nit players. And if you got the same 2 guys in pots with you playing 100% of hands most likely they are not fish more likely colluding together. I will see same 2 guys on another table doing the same thing and they are slowly building stacks while everyone thinks they are action fish. So watch out for that. Not as many fish as all these guys think. And most of my friends who are decent players started off hot on global have been telling me they are break even or losing over last month or 2. Games are slowly getting tougher I guess from people promoting to much the sites full of fish ( joey ingram) now its ID names i noticed from acr now grinding global. I even noticed the 9 max tables sometimes full of all regs that sit on them and grind all day and night and they are super nitty.

no huds = no reads? play less tables and pay attention then

Literally all of this has been my experience. Was grinding 20c then 50c, 50+ hours a week, going back to the beginning of the year. Games seemed to get a lot tougher starting a couple months ago. Used to be easy money, just dodge suckouts and collect pots. Now the 10c and 20c games play like a 5/10 live game. I'm not exaggerating (well maybe a little). I don't know what happened. Once in a while you will see a drunk on 50c, other than that it's almost all regs. I can't speak to .50/1 games or higher. It blows my mind that there are 10/20 games on here.... one of the best usernames i've seen on this site (and there are many): IsThisLegal

I wouldn't deposit on here. The games are getting really tough. I stick to the bigger sites. It's all tight regs from what I can tell.

kcwins, what is your SN. I am playing NL50 and don't feel like there are too many good regs out there. Definitely a lot of bad ones, but who cares as long as they are bad.

Man I play cash fairly rarely, but I've played maybe 100 hours of 200 and 400nl on Global over the past couple months and, well, without tapping the glass too hard let's say that there are many, many players who are most certainly not "tight regs" if you get my point.

I stacked this one guy 5 times at 200nl over a total of maybe 35 hands. I say this not to brag, but to illustrate my point that if you think this site is "getting tough" and "filled with tight regs", then you yourself are at best a mediocre reg and you should improve your game considerably before worrying about anything else.

Edit: btw, bad/mediocre regs are awesome to play against and you should look forward to sitting in their games. They'll lose less than an actual fish, but they're so rarely going to put you in tough spots and it's just an easy time.

it's possible that there are more bad/drunk/casual players at 200 nl than the micros. I know that not long ago there were definitely more bad players at 50nl than 20nl. i can only speak to my own experience at 50c and below. Sometime in Feb I went from 20c to 50c. *At the time* the games were better at 50c than they were at 20c. Consistantly beatable with minimal effort. Somewhere around 3 weeks later the fish started dying off and the games got tougher. You can gaslight me if you want to, but I am pretty sure I know what happened because I was there, often logging 11 hours a day 3-4 tabling.

I'd say that today I wouldn't be surprised if the 50nl or 100nl
or 200nl games more profitable in bb/hr terms than 10nl and 20nl, yes it's really that much of a grind. After 50nl started dying off I cashed out most of my profits and went back to micros. But I could just be a terrible player too. I don't claim to be god's gift to poker or anything. I'd rather play live (metro Detroit) the games are a thousand times better and no one has the stone cold nuts every other hand like they do on Global. Call me a conspiracy theorist if you want to I don't mind

He's lying guys. There are easier sites to play on than Global. The games are some of the hardest on the internet. He's just looking to take advantage of fun players.

it's collusion and bot city. If you do play here, be constantly on the lookout for this. it's too easy for players to cheat on this site, bc lack of security team and easy to make multiple accounts and easy to withdrawal; all of this attracts cheats (esp the lack of security team)

When I see blatant collusion and chip dumping, or suspect someone of being a bot, I don't even bother reporting because it's too time consuming to gather hard evidence and search temporary HHs and convince support to look into it.

I witnessed the most stupidly obvious collusion, got the HH #s, emailed support with all the details, and it's been about 2 weeks and never heard back other than "we are looking into it" so I think it's safe to say they don't care

or play on real offshore sites that have huds, you can 10-12 table, and make more money even though you have a lower win rate. once i go above a few tables, i can't sit there and watch every hand.

i'm not going to sit around two tabling looking at all showdown cards. i'll happily do a villain review on HEM, but if I wanted to be bored AF getting 30 hands an hour I'd just go play live poker.

This site needs to get acclimated to the 21st century of poker.

play on acr then

Why? Neither Global nor their customers want your business.
