Global Poker? US Sites? Rigged?

[ChiTownRon]

Checking out all the opinions on Global and it just makes me want to try Bovada/ignition now after the better talk of it on here. How do the guarantee tournaments compare to each other on those sites? How about the player traffic ?

interesting comments. I am super sore about my most recent loss after cashing out there on a plo table flopping the nut flush getting it in on the flop and runner runner. duece pairs the board on turn and a Jack on the river; giving hero a boat. (with his JJXX no trips on the flop or any reason to continue.) But i want to believe its variance, and i sucked out super hard on people in the beginning i will say. I wonder if someone would be willing to test the 'equitable distribution' theory, maybe folding on flop multiple times and then shortstack a higher buy in table and just monkey shoving for their equitable distribution win rinse and repeat.

THe only other thing possible on the site is the rng is hacked. I let people watch my sessions who thought about depositing on global. I run so bad they dont want anything to do not with just global but online poker period. its non stop bad beats playing heavy volume. it doesn't matter what you have even full houses by the river you will be beat. I would say when i am a heavy favorite and they have 3 outs or less i am only winning around 10% of the time and this is with heavy volume. it started acting weird after they lost paypal. So either they added the equitable distribution cause the good players were makin to much money or maybe russians are now on it cause they dont use paypal anymore. but somethings not right. Just about all of my friends that are very good grinders who were doing well on the site before the paypal thing left. These are top players left this site. We all know somethings not right.

if you live in the US just go to ACR, global poker isn't rigged but their tourneys are awful

When a poker site doesn't want you to record hand histories its a good sign to stay away from it. Thats a big red flag i think for anyone. Honestly i think my ev line would be 30x what my profit is on global. It would be a moon shot to heaven ev line. And ACR my ev line is 4x what my profit is over last 2 years. But its some what close. But global I am sure is not even close to my ev. And i put in millions of hands on the site. IT was fine before paypal. After paypal some greasy stuff been going on. Even when they said they were jus testing world pay but we could still use paypal. They lied about that. They just get greasier and greasier. To much grease for me.

Global poker

Wait wait wait. You’re telling me that you guys play on a site which is loaded with fish, is common to have 70-80 percent of the players at the table involved in each hand, and the variance is through the roof!?! My god what are the chances!?! It must be a scam! That’s the only explaination!!!🙄🙄🙄. Go home, pull out a deck of cards and deal out a mix of six max and full ring hands for a few hours and involve 4-6 hands every time and take them to the river. Tell me you don’t see the same level of variance. I’m not saying that there’s not a chance it’s sketchy, but it’s far more likely you are just playing very low stakes, high variance poker at a table with a bunch of gamblers. Roll yourself extra securely, play solid, and wait for the variance to balance out

It’s no different than live 1/2. Can I beat live 1/2? Abso-****ing-lutely. However I never play that great because I’m not legitimately rolled for 1/2 (ie about $10,000-$12,000) so I’m siting there worrying about the money, so I end up talking myself out of higher variance scenarios in which I’m most definitely ahead, because I don’t have the money to play long enough for the variance to balance out

So many bad beats

I found this thread after getting fed up with the suck outs that would happen on this site. I kept patient with it for some time telling myself that I was just running bad and it would have to swing around. But I'm getting sick of going all in with these 3 out donks and getting sucked out on time and time again.

I can't say anything conclusively since I haven't been keeping stats but from my opinion its past the point of just a bad swing now.

If you want to make some money, study a little. and forget these things

 

[johnbrazon42]

All available poker sites "available" to the U.S. are shady. There is no such thing as variance in a computer program. That's a LIVE poker term. So tired of seeing that term used 100% improperly. Online poker will never be realistic cause with so few actual depositers the sites have to have a way to make their money back by having built in "bots" so to speak, and even ACR has em...just go to their freeroll leader board and shark scope the usual top 10 players...quite a few play 24 hours a day 7 days a week which is humanly impossible. And for those people saying they're constantly withdrawing "lots" of money, I highly doubt it, unless your at pokerstars or party poker where there is little to no collusion.

Poker rigged

Yah I agree. I have played more live poker than online. And everytime I play online poker you get screwed somehow. Like if you have suited cards and they are worse than your opponents cards why do the suites cards win way more. Weird!!:icon_thum

Here is some interesting information to consider: I created a poker simulation for myself and i have used a very simple RNG to create my hands (I have satisfied myself that each deck does not contain repeating patterns that are a problem).

If I assume that the only players that play in a hand have a range in the top 30% of hands, then 55% of the time, the winning hand would have folded. So, obviously, the more players that are in a hand, the bigger the hands will be. If you happen to be playing with a bunch of "no-fold'em hold'em" players, then you should expect to see a lot of bigger hands and A LOT of river hits (it is a 7 card game after all). This isn't to defend Global's (or any other sites) RNG, just stating an observation.

An example from my simulator: In 10,000 hands, 0.13% were quads, and half of these had starting hands in the bottom 50% of hands. This means that 50% of the time, potential quads are folded before they even see a flop. If everyone wants to see a flop, then you will see more people make their quads by the river.

Having said all that, I would not expect to see quads daily either. Actual % chance of a single dealt hand seeing quads is .024%. If you are "seeing" 4000 players get to showdown everyday, then quads is not so unreasonable to see. (Notice that this also means that YOU need to see bout 4000 hands before you can expect to see quads... 'ish.)


Happy fishing!

Hi to all,

I was playing live poker at a poker room in Nevada one weekend. Played about 24 hours in three days and they have a quad promotion where you win anywhere from $75min to as much as about $500 depending on how long it has been since being hit last. In one day in a 6 hour period, the guy sitting next to me hit both quad 4s and quad 9s. The next night I hit quad Jacks. There were also a couple others that hit quads that weekend.

I will say, with the quad promo money available, I am sure that many people will play and call with their pocket pairs much more often than simple limping to make a set.

I am guessing that we saw about 30 hands hours times 24 hours is only 720 hands and quads over five times. I'm sure it had a lot to do with the promo and how they played pocket pairs, but still that is a lot of quads from live dealers and I am sure that this casino didn't have the sophistication and expertise or the incentive to be dealing anything but randomly. I am not sure what to conclude from this, so draw your own conclusions.

How many tables were rolling during this time period? If the 5 quads you saw were all at your table, then 5 quads in 720 hands is about 0.7%. In a room of 10 tables, and there were 5 folks from all the tables, that won the quad promo in that period of time, then we are now down to .07%.

Hopefully you had a good payday from your JJJJ.

 

[playinggameswithu]

Global will be defunct soon enough. There is a lot of competition in online poker with Global's problems they will collapse soon enough. Would not have more than $500 on there at any one time.

Glad you asked, I was thinking just one table and there were two, continuously full at 9-10 platers each. One is a 3-6 limit table I never play so forgot about it, but it participates in the promos that are paid for by an additional $2/hand rake. This is still a lot of quads for two tables over this period!

My Quad Jacks paid $379, woohoo!!

For all those who think GP is legit... are you sure?

Since I started playing GP about 2 years ago, it didn’t take much at all to realize there was something off about the GP software. I have taken screenshots of about 85% of hands that I’ve played since, including hands that I have won or sucked out badly for the win- as well as sketchy hands that I wasn’t in(to gather proof that it isn’t just me who’s getting beat like this.)

Those screenshots will be uploaded later, but I felt that I needed to post what happened to me today, so go ahead and take a look at the imgur that I posted here and let me know if I’m just overreacting.) https://imgur.com/gallery/09QOOzF

And just to be clear, yes I won the hands in question... but hopefully we can get past that and focus on the real problem. I still lost the tournament in 3rd place out of 4, which I can provide screenshots for as well if you really need to know how I lost. 🤓

Global poker

I have been playing GP for about two years and have had no trouble like you all are saying, the only thing I don’t like is the cash out. When you buy in with PayPal you should be able to cash out the same way.

Global Poker

Just left Global Poker for good. Has anyone else played there? Im wondering if its just my biased opinion and im just holding onto bad beats. Or do they seem to load their deck to make huge pots? And do they crank up their numbers in their Random Number Generator to give premium hands to multiple players more frequently? It makes sense for the site to want to create bigger pots for bigger percentages of rake.

 

[KoreasFinest213]

I wanna talk a little about global poker.... I live in Kentucky which has no casinos and is really hard to play any online sites. Global seemed like a decent site at first but at this point it really seems like the win/lose swings are ridiculously over the top. Seems like every time you receive solid pocket pairs, someone else receives them also an usually better pairs or they hit a set or 4 of a kind on the flop. I know people bitch about this sort of thing all the time and maybe i have just been running extremely horrible.... but it just seems a little fishy the way the site runs. Ive played poker for around 12 years now online and live and the way the cards run on this site are extremely crazy. Makes me feel like they have some sort of player algorithm that sucks you in in a way and then they just run you horrible when you really get your money involved. Idk. I would just really like a trustworthy site i can depend on and can't seem to find that. I got robbed for about 700$ on full flush poker whenever they shut down, and not long after for about 150$ on bet online poker. Not sure what to do at this point.... may just stick to driving 2 hours to Illinois to play live, even though the casino is garbage.....like wtf. Can someone not just offer a legitimate site like poker stars in the US.....? Sick of basically burning my money.. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hey all im new to CardsChat, first off what an amazing community and what a great environment!

But I too feel something is off about their Random Number Generator. Yes too frequently do i see AA vs KK or too many players hitting 2 pair on the flop and someone has a set. And i do truly believe that their algorithm is programmed to create massive pots .Load the deck and give multiple premium hands, put out flops with multiple draws. They create massive pots to obviously make the amount of $ they take from the rake even greater. Ive left Global for good. Try Americas Card Room brother. Im also pretty sure that Global just got hit by the FBI. None the less, theyre very shady IMO, and id stay far away.

Haha get Trump outta here. I travel to Toronto alot from NY, so the first time i logged onto Pokerstars since theur banning in NY. The nostalgia was incredible lol

 

[hedonist]

I was so happy when I first found this site and how bad the players were. So, I got my Adderall prescription and went to work. I could not believe that every time we turned the hands over, I was winning, and yet still managed to lose with one card to come. If you can't beat it with Adderall, something is wrong, don't waste your cash and worse your frustration,

Global poker

I agree, and think global poker is rigged. I’ve been playing 4 months now and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve lost on the river. Even when I have opponents dominated I’ll still get rivered. I was just playing before this post and In one hour I saw AA’s go against KK’s AND QQ’s 3 times...oh and the KK’s won all three times. I see monster hands all the time. I’ve been saying to myself “it’s not rigged, I just suck and there are twice as many hands being delt online vs live, therefore I’m seeing more bad beats. But there’s just no way man, I lose way too often when I’m WAY ahead before the flop. The last hand I just played I had poket aces but the dude gets a king on the flop then another King on the turn lol. I’ve literally said to myself “I’m prolly gona get a bad beat here” and then actually did On several occasions. I’m not a pro by any means but I don’t suck THAT bad. One last thought, I also see people hit their gut shots or runner runner all the time. I would stay away from this website.

I've enjoyed my games there... Though I'm Not Allowed to redeem Sweep Stakes Monies From the site As I'm Not American Resident.. This Has Limited What I Play For... I've Won a Few Satellite Tickets But Until They Obtain UK Gambling License I Wont Profit from their Platform...

 

[pdcactus1]

I cash out regularly from Global

I've been playing global for a few years now. Of course, I only play tournaments so rake is not in play but I do cash out my sweep$ at least once a month more often if I hit a good one.
With that being said there are times I really get pissed off about the action there. But it fades and I go back to play again until I get pissed from it again. You have to understand what you're dealing with there. There is a reason it is completely LEGAL in the USA. It is a sweep$ Stake site. for you to know what that means you will have to read their rules or one of my earlier post of the subject. But all in all, I do not find it any different as far as run out goes than any other site on the WEB. And I do collect cash money monthly so I have to take the bad with the good.

If they do it then all of them do it. Seems to be the same on all three sites I play on.
