I know this is commendable and I'm sorry about me, but how long in hours did this feat take-- and if this is such "gravy" why not buy in 1k+ and make real$, I mean its a sure thing right???

I've often pondered if I spent these hrs for poker on something like aluminum can recycling if that would be more +ev
I've turned the free $2 into over 50k within the 1st year of playing on global. So, I promise you, it beats picking up aluminum cans.

I never got that free $2.

I can't remember getting my $2 either.

You have done a great job no doubt.

1761 games played x avg 3hr Mtt duration divided by avg 4 tabling of MTT's

5283hrs / 4tables = 1320hrs

$24,000.00 /1320hrs =$18 hr not counting time put in honing ur game off the felt.

you maybe closer to the top tier of players.

if you love the game its a great paying hobby, if you trying to make a living hr for hr mcdonalds ain't to far off for the Avg winning player. with future ROI only projected to get worse by all estimations, don't quit your day job.

But how much did they deposit? In all seriousness though GP is a scam/ nothing more than criminals. The shills and mods entire argument was based on PP "approving" GP's business plan. Some of these fools even took it so far as to say the RNG is legit otherwise PP wouldn't do business with them. Where are the shills now? Crickets...

It's apparent PP finally caught wind of GP and is stopping processing. GPs ENTIRE business model and advertising was PayPal. If they were willing to blatantly lie about that then what other "small" things are complete bull****? Bots? Collusion? Rng doubts? Lol a security team?

one things for certain, they haven't paid anyone out in days, they've even lied about PayPal withdrawals and haven't commented on their plans moving forward. If PayPal drops them (which is looks like) then the site will collapse.

You’re being far too dramatic. The way I see it is Paypal pulled the plug and left Global in quite the pickle. Global is now trying to figure out the best way to fix the situation and we all have to be patient until they do because honestly, what choice do you have other than all these whiners crying over and over?

Could they have chosen a better approach delivering this news? Absolutely, but no need to cry over spilled milk. Let them get it figured out and all will go back to normal. It’s not the end of the world.
06-17-2018 , 01:58 PM
It doesn't look like Paypal pulled the plug imo, not yet at least. If they did, Global would have transitioned the entire player base to Worldpay as soon as possible. That's not the case though; Paypal is still available to myself and withdrawals are going through fine on that end.

Also, keep in mind that Global first mentioned some sort of relationship with Worldpay in early 2017. Integrating Worldpay into the cashier was likely part of the plan from the start.

Ideally, WorldPay will just be used for their big winners, as those accounts raise the most flags at Paypal; while fun and recreational players are still able to use PayPal. Again that is ideal, they are obviously getting some push back from PayPal, so we just have to wait and see how it plays out.
06-17-2018 , 03:44 PM
Yep, I agree that having Paypal available to recreational players would be ideal.

We'll see what happens. I don't agree with all the doom and gloom that others seem to see though. I think Worldpay will end up being a fine option (even if it's the only one).
06-17-2018 , 06:23 PM
The only reason GP was briefly successful was due to PayPal. Recs aren't going to deposit with credit cards / WP etc etc. Again, the ONLY reason games were "fishy" was due to the ease of paypal. With PayPal leaving its guaranteed the site will tank. Regs simply won't play each other with high rake and no rb.

As far the actual thread title- the last time I played games were infested by bots cbetting 1/4 and 1/3 pot in micro stakes lol.

100% agree.

P.S. Whoever thinks the mid stakes games are tough on global must not be putting effort in.

Table selection is key here guys, find the fish, don't wait for them to find you.

More Payment Options for Global Poker Players
Written By: Maya Michaels | June 6, 2018 | Posted In Poker News

The online poker site, Global Poker, is really listening to its customers and have just announced a new partnership with Worldpay, a global leader in omni-commerce payments.

Taking into account the feedback from their customers about more ways when it comes to payment options at their disposal, Global Poker partnered with the leader in the global payment space to enable better choices in payment solutions. Global Poker had three recent successful tournament series, The Eagle Cup, Grizzly Games and Rattlesnake Open, after which they concluded that an increase in payment options would be extremely beneficial to its growing player base. Founder and CEO of Global Poker’s parent company VGW, Laurence Escalante said they are happy to serve their customers and offer more payment methods at their disposal.

“One thing our customers have made clear to us is they like choices and when it comes to payment methods, more the choices, more it is convenient for people.”

So far, players needed to buy gold coins through PayPal for getting bonus Sweeps Cash and then cash them out for real money prizes so this partnership is a huge step forward. From now on, players will be able to use many other payment and cashout methods that weren’t possible. The company believes Worldpay will satisfy everyone’s needs and offer a range of payments to the customers which will include credit card payments and e-wallet as well as mobile options.

Therefore, players will be enabled to play and pay in whatever way they desire. The exact date hasn’t yet been announced but players will have access to the added payment options in the very near future.

“Worldpay’s extensive network and vast expertise allow us to give our players this choice.” Escalante added. “This means our customers can interact with us in whatever way is most convenient to them.”

Worldpay is the world’s largest payment platform being listed on the London Stock Exchange earlier this year. They process more than 40 billion transactions annually, utilizing more than 300 different payment types.




in the message above they are bating more players saying you will have paypal and more options. that sounded great to many of us i was happy about it.. that is not what happen. day 6 no cashout yet. still waiting...

I love when people do this kind of math that doesn't consider multiple things, like:

-Global doesn't offer much in the way of high stakes games, especially for MTTs
-There are other websites on which Americans play poker, and there is live poker
-You can't smoke weed and watch TV while working at McDonalds

As an example, if Global had a daily $550 MTT, then all of us winning tournament players would be richer. Other sites offer these games.

I've made > than the median American HOUSEHOLD and I'm just a guy clicking buttons. Poker is still super beatable, especially on Global and especially live unless live poker has really really really really changed in the last few years.

Mid stakes starts at 400NL online.

Even the small stakes two+two forums uses the description " Discussions regarding micro-small stakes pot and no-limit hold'em (up to and including 1-2)"

While the med-high stakes forum says "Discussions about medium-high stakes pot-limit and no-limit hold'em (2-4 and up)"
06-18-2018 , 08:52 PM
Are we really debating on what is considered mid stakes?

Every cash limit is beatable and will be for a long time to come.
06-18-2018 , 09:04 PM
You're the one who suggested a clear small stakes game is midstakes. There is no debate, you just got corrected.

kudos to you also

if those stakes were on GP no offense, but the real "sharks" would show up and you might not be so full of yourself.

At ss i see new (rec) players everyday.
06-22-2018 , 01:33 AM
Right now the title of this thread says it all for 20NL cash. Very few new players in quite some time.
06-23-2018 , 12:20 AM
At PLO tables i see new rec players come and go quite often, certainly a lot of action.
06-23-2018 , 05:37 AM
I'm playing a mixture of 100/200NL 6-max, and the games are extremely good. I love this site
