I'll keep this simple. I'm a longtime online poker player.

Global Poker should be avoided. I have never been "runner runner" and 3 outed more anywhere else in my long history.

The nail in the coffin as it where was when my QQ lost to 3 hands. AQ, AQ and AJ. They all hit the last ace in the deck.

As a side note. I've been playing this sight for a few weeks and I have hit 7 4 of a kind and seen about another 20. That's a bit much.

My last bit of real evidence is that I've not changed my style of play but as soon as I requested a withdrawal I noticed the bottom falling out.

Please understand, I came to this forum just to warn as many as I could. I will not be following this thread.

If you have not already put money in... I suggest passing on Global Poker.

If you do have a bankroll there I suggest not cashing out till your 100% done with the sight.

So what?

I've lost to QQ holding AA with 3rd ace on the flop, runner-runner quad queens, $11 bounty MTT at the pokerstars.

Lost again with AA against QQ last saturday in the CC daily freeroll, pre-flop allin and quads again.

This spring, deep in $5.5 SCOOP tournament saw a fantastic hand, chat has exploded with messages after that hand... 4 players, 4 top stacks at the table, 80-100BB stacks, we're in the money for 2 hours, I haven't participated in this hand...

UTG opens 2.2BB
UTG2 3bets to 6BB
MP 4bets to 15BB
SB calls 15BB
UTG adds 13BB.
UTG2 adds 9BB

So current pot is 60BB+.

FLOP

2 7 10 rainbow.

UTG shoves all-in, UTG2 reshoves, MP calls, SB calls.

UTG has 4-6os = DOnk bluffed at that T high flop.
UTG2 has QQ
MP has AA
SB has KK

Turn card is 5, River card is 3. Donk with 4-6os wins huge pot with a straight and gets 1 bounty, MP wins small side pot and is left with like 10 BB stack and earns another bounty. I was shocked twice during that hand, first of all result was shocking, and then I've realized that 3 players with premium top pairs haven't found that all-in button pre-flop.

Is PokerStars rigged? Sure, like all other poker sites.

And my favorite hand this year, lost to SoSickPL - polish pro, deep in $11 SCOOP bounty MTT...
Also in the money, stacks above 100BB each, my stack is little bit bigger. Table is very chatty and "friendly"
. SosickPL in UTG opens 2.5BB w JJ.. one guy in the middle 3bets to 7BB, one more player calls, I'm on the dealer button with AA, I 4bet to 30BB... SoSickPL shoves all-in, both of the players in the middle of the table fold, I call... Community cards are something like T 7 K Q A, He hits a straight... I'm down to like 3BB stack. What's so interesting? I typed that it's a shocking hand and terrible river... then player in the middle told that he folded AK, then another guy told that he folded 99. So there was just one Ace left in the deck, and two nines, so that hand was terrible for him even on the turn. It was trash hand for him on the flop and absolute domination pre-flop.... But he hits it.
I can't count the exact number of times when it was vice-versa, memory keeps better these shocking bad beats when we are victims, cause usually game is over and we quickly forget about our wins, cause the game goes on.

If you have only played there for a few weeks, that is certainly not a large enough sample to conclude anything. I have had many downswings on both PokerStars and 888 Poker, that lasted longer than that, but overall I am up on both sites.

Also GG Poker is licensed in the EU, so there is regulatory oversight, just as there is with other online casinos / poker sites like PokerStars, 888 Poker or partypoker, who are also lisensed in the EU.

Personally I prefer sites like 888 Poker and PokerStars, that allow me to use my tracker and HUD. But that does not mean, the other sites are rigged. They could be infected by bots and colluders though, which is another subject.

I've been suspicious of this before as well. However, I recently learned I've got a lot of holes in my game...

Also, their RNG is certified. Kinda tough to argue with that one.

The only things I'd be worried about regarding fairness playing online is collusion and bots in cash games.

Global poker

I 100% can back and support your claim however I can go more in depth. When you start running bad and players are seeming consistent like bots start documenting your whole cards, the flop, amd the players holdings on the river. I did this for several hours 2 nights ago after I noticed the exact same loss twice. It's a cycle of the same 25-30 whole card combinations and the river will be exactly the same cards, same order amd same suit. I documented it. There were only 4 combos of cards one being pocket kings and they always fold the flip to one bet. They do this so its "not so obvious". I messaging the Global support and within 5 minutes it stopped and they messaged back denying any wrong doing and will not respond when I request they look at my evidence. I'm not gonna say it's this way all the time. I have cashed out. But I am saying they have bots to keep tables going late at night and they have patterns. Be careful

The sites are always rigged. Its always the RNG. Well its hard to argue. My pocket kings lost 7 all in confrontations in a row. They have AA or flop a set. Runner runner flush. It is rigged I tell you.

Oh, did I mention this was live in my local casino over a several week span. No matter where you play, online or live things happen. Bad beats happen.

FYI, I am not a big fan of Global poker but I have done well there when I have played.

While I can always understand someones concern and its possable the sites RNG is not perfect,
