I've played on maybe a dozen or more sites and there is always a player saying something like this for the respective site they're playing on

It's not the site. It's the way poker works

I know how poker works but my god Im always on the wrong side of variance on this **** site, its a ****ing joke.

shocker shocker same BS just happened again guy shoves with Q9o for 18 BBs from EP and I have Kings in the BB and he flops trips....plays make zero sense but they always know when they are going to flop monsters....**** is un****ing real on this site, I need to start recording it.


I know it sucks, but you aren't getting scammed. You're just getting your ass kicked and not handling it well emotionally

Again, it's not the site. That's the way poker works


I've never got a royal flush in a long time before hitting one on Global. Then I had another with the same hand. This was in PLO btw. With KJD and the board paired on the turn and the RF filled on the river. Both times. And I've lost to small set animals in PLO when they hit quads on the river and i had top set... 3 times in two days. I don't know. I know I do good in the MTTs. Oh, and both times the 10 of D on the river gave the RF. Both times. I don't know.

Just make the craziness make sense. UTG +2! one of the nits at the table. Just cold shoves 8d 6d and flops a straight. This is the tourney after I got busted out of the grizzly one out of the money with KK on the button the BB calls with AK and of course an A comes. I win but the frustration just is not worth it anymore.


I’ve noticed the same stuff on global, but isn’t it just more likely the combination of looser players, stickier players, and more hands per hour leads to the perception of smth being off?

When a table is filled with bad players it can become a higher variance game which means bigger swings in both directions

Nights, weekends, holidays. Every site has a different field of players so ymmv depending on what site you're at and how you game select, but Global? That site is filled with really, really bad players.

Ye exactly


Can anyone please give a guess as to how many hours a $1.50/$3 game and or a $2/$5 plo game runs a day/week? Like, you think you could get around 10 hours a day of one and or both of those stakes a day?... definitely?? Thank you so much.

"Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by incompetence."This is almost certainly a case of a customer service rep not understanding the difference between RNG and RTP or how they apply to different casino games.To a layperson, it's easy to just say, "Yep, we use random thingamajigs in our poker games" without any real grasp of what those thingamajigs actually do

I could quote Occam's Razor. There's no reason to assume incompetence. I do know that I provided a link to this thread and asked Global to clarify what the rep was referring to when they used the phrase Return to Player Percentage. The response was lengthy without addressing my question. I have since closed my account.

Do not change my post again, I don't care what you're doing with photo shop or cut and copy. You need help, clearly you've lost your mind. Mods my post was made to look like I typed something I didn't

You seem unhinged TBH. Nobody changed your post. None of the images are photoshopped nor cut and copied.

^ Smart man.

I have to assume the people jumping through hoops to justify the term have some reason for doing so; and I don't think those reasons are in the players best interest, but I could be wrong.

When replying to his post they changed what he said, it is clear cut.


Are there cash games on here? I was confused about the sweepstakes / terminology.

It says edited if you or mods edit your comment. If you mean 'Fixed that for you', you're an ape.

See how mine says edited below my comment? (Happens when you or mod edits your comment after posting)

If he meant mod edited his comment; he's wrong. If he meant he was misquoted, you're both dumb, because

Posts 946,947 are the relevant ones. Post 946 was edited and the quote from tiger was clearly changed by the person quoting it.

FTFY. (See how it works; you hit quote, then replace it with either something funny, or a summary of what was said that bites through extra words)

He quoted the guy, then replaced the BS with words that cut through it. There is nothing nefarious about it. It's common knowledge what that means, and it's not nearly as malicious as you're making it out to be.

Anyway, continue on, reading this and other threads intently.

I don't understand basic internet forum colloquialisms

Is there a way to see my total balance while playing?


Is there a way to request my win/loss record from global? Specifically I’d like to know where I’m winning the most heads up, 6m or full ring.


Is it suspicious that there RNG certificate hasn’t been updated in 4 years ?

They can send you a spreadsheet with your entire history of withdrawal/deposit, but not sure about gametype transactions.

I've inquired about hand history, they will ask for account details, then after you provide the account information they will inform you they can not provide hand histories.


Guys, since I took part in these discussions. It's reasonable to ask if Global Poker works according to the same software algorithm iPoker net does.

Does it exchange "clean" - "trap" - "clean" - "trap" premium hands on the table.

You play a good (profitable) allin like AA vs 55 - 80% or you bluff and get a big pot having something like 86o and a straight draw -

and then you should fold the next A5s / top pair flopped / premium hand which comes to you in next 3-5 hands?


yep, win a hand, make sure you fold next premium hand. 100%. you got her figured, chief.

any other super duper sound theories we can confirm this morning while we have all these Mensa members gathered in one place?
