[WPT Global] Official Thread

I just saw a fish swap seats 5 times - twice 3h, three times HU. He never got stacked, he was just jumping around.

I thought that wasn't allowed, in that it would allow regs to be predatory etc

Hi - quick update, thanks to this 2+2 thread, we identified an issue in the configuration that was causing new cash game tables to be created too infrequently, making it too difficult to start new tables.

I'd like to offer a token of my appreciation to the following posters who helped to shed light on this issue. Please DM me with your WPT Global username:

It is allowed - a network-level decision that I am lobbying to change.

Today's schedule:

There is also a $220 BI 4 seat guarantee to the $2,100 High Roller PKO starting in about 25 minutes!

Also, PC version is max 4 tables right? Is that the same for MTT's also?

Interesting, I would have guessed they were being created too frequently, and not removed frequently enough.

Does this mean some of the tables I open sat in the past were duds?

Hello . I grind hard wpt global and there are many times I have been disconnected - lagged while playing . I don’t have any problems on the rest sites that I grind . I have been disconnected in very crucial spots (like facing 300bb shove river and being unable to call with nuts ). Does this happen only to me ?I have lost more than 1000bbs due to lag . I don’t get why . Nevertheless, I think it’s mandatory for the company to add offline protection timer . We are already paying a ton of money for timers , at least do something to protect us when we have technical issues .

Thank you for your time

hello wptalex,

i see that you can now observe tables indefinitely, before if you looked for too long they would ban you from looking or playing the table for 24 hours.

why did wpt change that?

it was the only thing keeping "bumhunters" away from the site.

for the ecosystem you should put it back.

If you observe too long, you will got kicked out, and hard to join table.
I agree ban looking, but why you want ban they playing?

Hi, from today i start to have same problem, I've been trying to start tables for hours and all I see is, 7 tables 0/8 and one of mine 1/8. i try to mix limits = same problem

can i some how help to fix this ?

There was a brief pause for MTTs while an issue was investigated, but Day 7 of the Preheat Festival has now officially kicked off!

Good morning Alex,

I noticed an unusual movement involving two players. They went offline simultaneously and returned to the table at the same time. This raises suspicions, though it might just be a coincidence. However, I believe it’s important to report this just in case.

Where can I send you the image I have captured of this incident?

Currently this is the state of the system most of the time, this is why I feel that there are too many 0/8 tables spawning and not enough culling.

I still dont know if this lobby situation for "highly skilled players" is operating as WPT Global expects it to though, they recently found an issue, so maybe they are still working on a fix.

It's tough when starting tables is a rather poor experience and feeling(half knowing) that a portion of players are on their 2nd+ burner account.

Maybe instead of only 2 HSP's per table, it could go up to 3 or 4 HSPs per table when the table is starting.

Maybe the definition for HSP is too loose. I would bet I am way better at poker than most of these alleged HSPs 😃

Also I would bet my shorts that I could outperform the fair game system at recognizing (genuine)HSPs over a few hundred hands.

You gotta sit 3 tables HU and watch lobby like a HAWK for one to pop up. It's the only way to get anything going

I think starting tables would be much better if WPT implemented an option to move tables.
In my mind it would work like that. Once You're seating on 1-4 handed table You can click on a move table option. Once another table with 4-8 players is available for You to seat, the software would move you there or ask you if you want to move before showing the free seat to other highly skilled players. If there is more than 1 highly skilled player on the stake trying to move tables the queue for the seat can depend on who clicked the move table option first.

Just to confirm - you tried to sit at a specific seat at a table, but the software sat you in a different seat, is that correct? If possible, please record a video of this so I can report it to the team. Might just be a UX issue on our end.

It's 4 max cash games and up to 7 tables total currently (on Windows). The current limits are for performance reasons mainly and I think we'll increase them in future.

No, I don't think so. The situation we fixed was that tables didn't spawn early enough, causing some situations where pros couldn't see any tables at all at certain stakes (because all the pro seats were occupied at tables, but a new table hadn't been created yet). When this occurred it became impossible for pros to start tables.

We definitely have plans for disconnection protection. In the meantime please get in touch with our support team at [email]customercare@wptglobal.com[/email] if this happens to you. We can investigate and if it is a problem on our side, we can help.

We haven't made it indefinite, but the previous system was too strict causing some legitimate players to get banned, so it's been modified.

To be sure I understand - you are seated at a table, but nobody joins you? What game type and stakes are you playing?

Please send any report like this to [email]customercare@wptglobal.com[/email] and our team will investigate.

I've thought for a long time about this. Obviously the goal for us as a business is to keep as many tables running as long as possible. In live poker there's a concept called 'must move' that is designed to achieve this. It's something we're thinking about but we don't have any immediate plans.

Hi Alex,

I have been playing on WPT Global last 2 months, and I got tagged as a pro, so I had very little tables to choose from.

I have withdrawn all my funds, and out of curiosity checked lobby next day and a lot of 10/20/40 games appeared again..

Now I am thinking, if I depo again will they dissapear? I don't want to play mouse & cat with WPT, just play my beloved game lol

No, they won't disappear if you deposit. It might be that the above mentioned configuration problem (not enough tables being created) was affecting you, we also have more traffic now at those stakes than we did a few months ago.

Yea it happened again last night.. Both times Im pretty sure were at the CNY PLO4 tables and both times I was the third player to sit fwiw.. Im playing on iPad too if that counts for anything

How do you know when you get tagged as a pro?

Thanks, I'll have a look

Out of interest do you have any filters enabled besides stakes? If not - just sit down, you're guaranteed a great game and tables at 10/20/40 fill pretty quickly.

No and the second part has not been my experience. Usually I sit for 15-20 min alone and then give up and find some USD tables.

(I want to clarify that I'm not super upset or anything, you're def right that when I get a game or 2 going they're very good tables)

hey there.
I used to play Betkings for like 2 years before WPT buy this site and running the software wich today is running.

This stuff "u guys are tagged as pro" wich Alex are saying i don't trust. This "segregation" worked before WPT starting, and from my experiences, the point behind was this : if u start to win,crush a certain stake, the site doesnt want u there anymore because there is not interest for the site to keep winning players on the site instead whales are welcome because they are not winning on the long run and guess who is winning in this case? I'll tell you -> the site, because not cashouts so more rake.

Back to to present, i used to play for like 10 months without any restriction,im probably 30k up and surprise, cant see tables anymore. Reason? Isnt clear for me at the moment, i dont trust wich Alex saying because if go at lower stake where i use to play like ~50k hands but didnt crush that stake to hard, guess what? i can see 4 tables with the rule wich Alex said is not the same for my current stake wich from my logical point of view,that happens because i didnt win enough on that stake.

In the end, i quit this site because i feel this "rule" is shady and favors only the site. #morerakeisbetter

Betkings is a GG skin and has absolutely nothing to do with us.
