Came to say this, dude is ****ing delusional if he thinks rules that can be broken shouldn't exist. Like, I just... I just can't wrap my head around that logic???? Rules are mostly deterrents from bad activity and if you take the risk and get away with it, good for you. But when GP bans your account and seizes your roll, don't come crying here.

There's no punishment too harsh for players using any third party software whether it's for table tiling, hotkeys, hand downloading or HUDs.

All of those actions take money out of the pockets of people playing by the rules using their own eyes, hands and (often poor) memories.

So is it permaban?

30 days for converter/HUD

Who got caught using a HUD?

people were using the converter to use a HUD. thats why global suddenly gave a **** about the converter

The HH's were exported as anonymous player numbers. So that can't be true.

If you are going to spread rumors please make sure there are facts to back them and give the source.

people asked what happened and im letting them know. believe or not. i dont care

What is the source? Did you get a 30 day ban for using a HUD? Or are you just claiming that people were using a HUD to stir up drama?

The HH converter is public code on github. It does not power a HUD. All it does is pull the HH's from Global Pokers server and convert them to PS format. There is no "auto-import" which would be required for HM2 or PT4 to display a HUD.

Also, the player names are exported in the same format in which they are displayed on GP - each player in each hand is a random number between 0001-9999. For this reason there would be no way to use it to power a HUD either.

you dont know what youre talking about. thats as far as im getting into it.

Everyone knows there are HUDs on Global. These are not the same as the HH converter.

Someone offered you a HUD and you are claiming that it is the same as the publicly-available open-source code of the HH converter which is incorrect.

If you have proof players with HUDs were given a 30-day ban then show it. Otherwise, no one should take what you say seriously.

never said they were the same thing obviously. but anyway i was just answering the guys question. not here to do investigative journalism itt. perfectly fine to not believe me. have a nice day. im out

We are certain people got their accounts suspended for using the converter. Can you say for certain anybody got suspended for using a HUD? I haven't seen an email posted or any other post with somebody saying people using HUDs were also suspended. I'm just wondering if you're aware of something that hasn't been posted about by others or if you're just erroneously lumping HUD use together with the HH converter suspensions?

the converter has existed/global has known about it for over year. there are people who used it ,including myself, who werent banned. draw your own conclusions

the only conclusion i can draw from ur post is that ur low iq. i have a friend who used it and didn't get banned. i used it and got 7 days. i have another friend who used it and got 30 days. suspension length was likely just based on the amount it was used.

actually studies have shown that people who resort to childish personal insults generally have lower iq than people who claim their opinion/point without childish personal insults.

even if he is low iq and you think hes low iq, its pretty mean to say it like that. didnt you attend kindergarten?

another low iq individual spotted. and don't pm me again ty.

Is that the Sugonese study?

lol

Cite two, you playdoh sniffin, lipstick chewin, yellow-drawered, dingleberry battin, face-panty wearin, underside-of-dock lickin, uneven-haircut havin, yohoo drinkin, Vagisil abusin, low-frequency bluffin, pubic hair permin, ass-dandruff smellin schattenparker. Sanjam da prdnem na tebe!

Global's policy on downloading HH is itself unethical. You should not prohibit what people are allowed to do with information is that is available to their own senses. I believe it falls somewhere within the boundaries of what is ethical and what should be legal, so I think Global is fine to have this practice, but I am taking my money elsewhere partially because of it.

FWIW I withdrew the small amount I kept on Global and don't intend to play there anymore. I don't trust there ethics or competency. I am very happy to support other sites that don't try to operate within the US's tyrannical laws regarding poker, allow and facilitate the collection of HH, have support that actually understands poker (referring to Zendesk, not Kimbr or Joey who are great), has software that isn't riddled with problems that go unfixed for months, and has more than one deposit/withdrawal method.

The only things Global has going for it is that the player pool is very weak, and the one deposit/withdrawal method it does is is very fast! I commend Global on their payout speed, at least.

i guess youve never heard of tracking your results on a spreadsheet huh?
you can get your hands played from the achievements section and record the number of hands at the start of the session and the number of hands at the end of the session to get your total hands played in the session and then take the difference between your balance at the start of the session and the balance at the end of the session to get the amount won or lost for the session. tracking your results this way in google sheets can provide a very accurate bb/100 stat. maunually writing down your results in google sheets, like any good player should if you cant use other software, is not against TOS

it stops at 100k

it keeps counting past that. if you have 120,000 hands, itll say 120,000/100,000

you should probably stop supporting scammers on twitch too

wrong on both accounts, wp. even thought about the second statement for a solid 20 minutes. yikes.
