Just imagine this extreme hypothetical example in a cash game. If all the players at the same table continue playing with their initial buyin and don't go broke, the poker site will rake all the money at the end of day.

So you're assuming the global poker software is so advanced they can place the 4-6 streamers in better positions when table breaks in order to bypass the big blind? That's impressive. What would be the goal for global? Have their borderline breakeven twitch streamers last longer for an audience of 100 people or so? Seems like a lot of risk for very little reward. Sounds like your downswing is clouding your judgment kind sir.

God I would love to see this.... lol

said to see this has degenerated into a conspiracy thread. i love global. every site has the same posts from people who are losing and have no concept of probabilities.

unsubscribing, have fun y'all.

I did tell you a couple months ago that you were likely taking a couple months of rungood as misguided information and were likely not playing as good as you thought you were. And now you're direct buying into a $100 while playing 4x your average games/day and assuming the site is rigging seat selection for people streaming to 10 people...

I'm sure you've already looked at this and know it (and know your sample sizes are tiny), but...

I always liked this look at the numbers from way back in the day: http://www.nsdpoker.com/2011/01/mtt-pros/ and http://www.nsdpoker.com/2011/02/mtt_pros_2/

Was playing the $5.50 Goat event last night and it crashed during the add-on period. I got a 5.50 ticket, but I was in for 2 bullets. Where does my missing buy in go?

Look in your transaction history, you got a manual adjustment too. The $5.50 ticket was a bonus.

Been playing online since 2007, Global Poker has the worst RNG in online poker history ... it's not close

I am a winning player and have won on every site I have ever played on ... Global Poker is the worst RNG by a mile

Both my Chumba and Global Poker accounts were blocked on the same day and the only explanation I got was a TOS stating they have sole discretion on who gets blocked. The only thing I can think of is my father also has a Global account (which too, is blocked) and we live under the same roof. We have 100 percent made sure we never played on the same table or in the same tournament. I guess a thorough investigation is not that thorough. When I move would Global consider reinstating my father and my accounts? And are Chumba and Global under the same umbrella? I've spent money on both sites and played a lot of slots on both sites (unfortunately) so I don't understand why no recourse is offered. I did send some ugly emails to Chumba when they would not verify my account. No bad language just expressing frustration with depositing money and not being able to withdraw. Anyways I've moved on to ACR and the million other slot platforms. The whole situation left a bad taste in my mouth so I discourage as many people as I can from playing either Chumba or Global.

guess when u stop paying 2p2 u dont get the 2p2 protection from criticism anymore #PowerOfTheDollar

Please see my Edit in the OP of this thread.

Thank you.

Hey... Mike Haven... long time no see... do u remember me from the BUP days? Its been years.... lol BUP was allota fun b4 they went belly up...

I was hoping some1 would merge / rename this thread. I guess this is the unofficial Global Poker thread now.... thanks for doin that Mike. Keep up the great moderating =).

I've been loving playin on GP... Today, I won an entry to the mini deep nine in a 6.6 sc sattie and took 3rd place for a great ROI. Not bad for a micro stakes grinder like me hehe =).... I can go buy many hamburgers now

Anyone winning anything in the Goat series? I can't even win a single hand. Flopping top set, nut flushes, and nut straights don't work at the moment. Don't think I've made it past half the field in any of them

Nothing yet for me this year... I'm still trying to sattie in to one. I did however win a GOAT IV turny last year.... It came w/ a cool avatar and is the one im currently using =)

I finished 2nd in the GC Fortune Cookie tourney GOAT event last night. So dissapointed I didn't close it out. I really wanted a Goat trophy to go with my Grizzly one. Does anyone know what kind of swag 2nd gets? They used to show a chart with final table prizes but I don't see one this year.

I played in a GOAT 33sc buyin turny today after winning an entry for 4.4sc. I didnt get ITM though (i got 152/743 ). I was doing really good but then I made a HUGE mistake. Needless to say, I punted my huge stack when I could've easily folded to the money.... I dont even want to post the hand history of my last hand b/c its so embarrassing �� welp, there always tomorrow...

I was wondering why the Global section had been so quiet as of late. I usually click a tab I have but there haven't been any updates in a few.

@GP, how about adding a run it twice option in PLO games?

Yoooo Yeeter, ur in the wrong thread brah lol.....

anywhoo, i got 20th place in the Sunday eleven after winning an entry for 2.2sc today. not a bad ROI...



I also won 3 10sc entries in the 3 pop up freerolls i played today. Thanks for the free rolls Global =)

Watch the streamers and even their promo heros like "Penta" .

Everytime i see them in a tournament they are at a table for very short time then gone, often less than one orbit.

It has happened way too many times to be a coincidence.

I have played this game for a long time...and my results elsewhere are far better than my results in Global. Not many people can say they have been winning for 20 years at this game, though I have yet to reach "crusher" status...I am close.

I am not the only winning player who questions if something is fishy with the site.

Was there NOT another well know poker site who would give winning players consistently worse table positions at Rush(or whatever they called it) and losing players better position?

It is not unheard of for this to happen. If nothing else, if you play on Global or watch any of their streamers, watch how often certain folks get moved around.

This line is what loses you all credibility

Well if you think there's cheating you shouldn't play on the site anymore correct? So this should be your last post here since you are moving on.

Best of luck to you.

Check out the entries on SharkScope for the people you play against. You'll see the expected spread of winners and losers. The ability score is not hidden, and many players opt in so you can see their tournament histories.

Or is the fix only on in cash games? Why, when you have slot machines with guaranteed income? You are a subsidiary of a public Australian company, with two other online "social casinos" (Chumba, LuckyLand) and reported plans to expand into other English-speaking countries. Why risk that?

Scandals in the past have revolved around super-users, site insiders who could see hole cards and were embezzling funds for their personal use. Why on earth would you want to mess with an RNG as a means of controlling winners and losers? What a programming nightmare that would be!

Every site has people who don't do well there, and can't think of any reason except that the site is rigged They would rather spend hours "proving" conspiracy, when the time would be better spent looking for leaks. Hand histories would be nice, but I think the lack of those is part of preventing the use of HUDs and other tracking tools.

It does take adjustments to do well at Global. You have to tighten up and tighten up again, in my opinion. There are players at Global so bad that you'd think you were back in the early 00s at Party Poker. In addition to the clueless, there are many good players. Fortunately, the player pool isn't huge, and you get to recognize the good players fairly quickly. It's nice to have short late registration, relatively quick tournaments and simple, consistent structures.

Maybe others can add their own suggestions, based on their experience at Global. I could sure use the help - I'm slightly above even after a rough start.

BTW, there is an official Global discord group. You need an invitation code, which you'll have to ask Global or another member for.
