My POV is mixed. I'm damn near convinced they recently let me win to get me hooked; like to build an addiction. Won $2000 over about 3 days; then back to 'doom switched' where I just can't win a hand, even if I have the best of it by flop. Strong hands getting runner runnered. The only way I've found to minimize this variance is to never go all in until river, when you can be almost sure you have it. (I'm not the only one who specifically mentions this; I've read others say the same)
- Global support on 2+2 in a rigged RNG discussion posted a gif of a very obviously rigged RNG.
- The CEO berated one of their top players.
- They let the guy using tools run rampant for months.
- They falsely claim to have caught people on their own; when evidence shows users pointed it out.
---------------------------------------------------------------
I truly don't know; but nothing Global Poker has done or said even remotely sounds like it's on the up and up. It sounds fishy.
My areas of interest
-> Rubber banding that appears to occur (They have a patent for it; and it does kind of look like it's in use). (Someone statistically is going to win so many hands within an hour; that they have hundreds of thousands of chips; in practice - you never see that)
-> Bait hands that can be called out. If we as users can call out the cards that are going to drop; either we're psychic, or there is a pattern of some sort that our brains can pick up on subconsciously.
-> The sweepstakes model itself seems like it would need the website to implement bots to prevent people from winning too much; because almost all tournaments are running below gurantee. If gurantee is $2000, it's rare to get 200 people in. That means they lose cash; then you figure the sweepstakes mail in redemption is also -EV. How can they make all their cash from cash game rake? It seems impossible barring using stooges. I've read about stooges; and guess what; some people on 2+2 have been hired as stooges in live settings.
-> My chart is the biggest reason I think it's rigged. It's exactly the chart you'd expect if you were trying to hook a player into an addiction.
That screams 'trying to get player hooked'. I can't express it well enough; but it just seems like a rigged way of hooking a player into an addiction.
If I had to describe my chart; it's like going to your crappy weed dealer for 10 months; thinking 'I should get a new dealer' and then he has fire weed, then it goes down in quality again. I know this game. It's a business model in drug dealing. You get them hooked with top tier bud; you then go down in quality; then you get a bit of that fire; then down in quality. I've played this game my whole life; and it's the addiction game. That's what that chart screams at me. Drug dealer giving a bit of a dopamine boost so they can keep selling you trash weed.

It just sounds obvious that if you know how it's rigged, you can just crush the games by overplaying the 32o and J6o every time, and folding KK+. Even the usual fish who'd normally punt their 3-highs will probably misplay their "premiums" not knowing they'll actually lose.
No idea the answer to this; but one day i did run only horrible hands for one tournament, and won first the next tournament.
Went in with 75o, would fold AA,KK,AK, or anything double face/face plus ace, any suited cards with a face I laid down.
The very next tournament I got aces 3 times, kings 3 times, and won the final hand with 33 or 88, or maybe i had 88 vs his 33.
I don't think it was related; but it might be now that you mention it. It did give me insane run good the next tourney.
