Global Poker? US Sites? Rigged?

[bryan24]

I would agree with those that say the RNG is juiced up a bit more at this site than other sites. With that said if you know that going in you can certainly use that to your advantage. I have made plenty of money at this site but have not played there recently since finding a site that makes me more $$$$. Good luck!

Global Poker

Any thoughts about the site Global Poker? I live in the US and weary of bovada being unregulated now. And of course the cheating scandals at other sites available to me. Anyone else play here?

Global Poker has its ups and downs, but lot of people say it is rigged because of the action and play that goes on there

I would stick to America's Card Room

What site is that, please? Oh, are you in Las Vegas? Heard they are charging for parking now out there.

Bad beat often happens my nobleman, I write things here in the forum but I can not put into practice, we are playing incorrectly and going allin at the wrong time, if we control our bets and go allin only when we are nuts let's stop complaining frequency. It is easy to learn how to play, but to dominate the frequent Victory is that it is difficult, but it follows a tip, do not enter big pots with dominated hands, do not get involved in pot competition with more than three opponents, take advantage of the final position using aggressiveness , do not bluff very often. That way you will do well on all the plans. Even though I pass this information on to you, I can not seem to get out of scratch.​

I don't believe that the off shore sites are rigged. At least in tournament play. I don't see what the benefit to rigging a game would be. The sites make their money off the rake they take in, so no matter who wins they still get paid. I'm a firm believer that variance takes a much bigger effect in online play. A site like global poker or ACR have thousands of hands going on an hour so the bad beats and monster hands are going to come a lot more frequently than a live game where your dealing with one deck distributed between only 9 people. Like a comment mentioned earlier if you can't handle the swings of online micro stakes then playing in bigger games with better players might be the way to go. It's definitely not hard to see the suckouts when 6 people see a 3 bet pot to the river lol.
Also the equitable distribution theory might not be too far off base. Just a small sample but one day I got pocket aces 6 times in a tourney and they held up every time, believe me I was shocked too. Then for weeks after every time I got dealt aces I might as well have just folded pre cause I got jacked up bad. Today in the ACR cc free roll that's what ended my game aces against sixes guy flopped a six and I was done. But aside from some bad beats I think that's just poker as they say.

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.

The same thing was happening to me on other poker sites. but i found out that 2 pocket pair at the table is normal if u know the math! im a member a americas card room. they have hourly freerolls on demand so if you are good you can play with no money and win real cash

I totally feel u on this. I feel that i go all in at the wrong time, or pay off a hand that i honeslty shouldn't have even been in to start withm . i belive in poker it all comes down to discipline. bankroll discipline, hand discipline, not gettimg too carried away and entering big pots with marginal hands. Which is one of my personal biggest downfalls. I LOVE to play big pots! And pot control goes out the window some hands.

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

10,000 to play 1/2 - lol what a joke.
You need $400 of expendable cash to play 1/2 and nothing more.
You guys and your crazy out of left field bankroll requirements are insane.
No wonder you can't move up stakes - you're afraid to play the damn game!

 

[Smokewood]

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.

lol you obviously have no idea what variance in poker means...

 

[TravelerLloyd]

Now that sounds like my kind of place, even when I make a mistake, I might get lucky and win and win I have a big hand and win, I will get paid.

I ma not understanding the complaint here...

I have a suspicion that the RNG on Global feels worse... not because it is but due to the fact that there is an insane number of donks and fishes.

I have never seen such a loose environment in all of my days playing Online Poker.

In micro sit and goes... it's not uncommon for the majority of the table to be evolved in every hand... even after a 3 or 4 bet.

More people playing till the river (even when they shouldn't) means there will always be a higher number of river suck-outs.

 

[Bart Prospect]

Aversion: about-face to dishonesty.

The pseudorandom number generator that is utilized at Global Poker is absolutely one-hundred percent fixed/scripted.

I firmly recommend not depositing fund(s) and/or playing poker at Global Poker.

Heed the former as caution to the many plausibly unfortunate Americans that have/will or could be taken advantage of...

It perturbs me to instantly see the words trusted and certified, both of which are spelled with all capital letters, displayed at the 'home' webpage for Global Poker. Paradoxically, it is also amusing to me/I...

It is a CROCK... Trusted by who? And the certification is a ruse. Is the shuffling and dealing of whole cards along with every community card that is applied screened for randomness? Probably unlikely. If in the event that they are, the certification's allusion to pseudo-entropy is only as random as the poker software's engineer's/owner's and/or Global Poker's owner's agenda(s) will allow.

Psychologically speaking/typing, I find that blatant posting as anchoring... If one/something is truly honest and trusted, one/something shouldn't have the need to expose that in such an impressionistic in your face type of manner. That is like putting wings on a pig...

That is akin to, for a crude example: a squirrel owning a nut warehouse with a sign at the entrance with the words TRUSTED, CERTIFIED... Please...

I personally believe that there possibly is a rake quota at Global Poker and other online poker sites. That is an interesting notion...

I pine that the owner(s) of Global Poker expire slowly and painfully from an Ebola and/or Marburg viral infection(s).

Take your American time and or American business elsewhere, to a lesser manipulation of online poker dealings/cards.

Take it easy...

 

[Cardplayer11]

Global poker is the most rigged site I've ever played on.. they def have bots at all their tables sweeping up your $$$ .. never deposit $ there it's not worth it

 

[Eddie Towne]

Global Poker Rigged?

Yeah, I've never in my life experienced more gut-wrenching bad beats than on Global Poker. Especially in cash games.

The latest one being me holding A 5 suited and the villain (fairly loose player) holding 3 5 suited. The flop comes out 9 5 5. He checks from BB and I bet half pot. Instead of slow playing, he decides to raise me and I shove all in. Naturally, he calls and well you know what happens next...a 3 comes out on the turn.

I don't blame him for calling but this is just the latest in a string of bad beats for me on Global. Don't even get me started on how many times I've had Pocket aces cracked or someone hitting their 2-outer on the river. I don't know if their RNG is rigged but when you get sucked out as much as I have on literally a daily basis, it just makes you wonder is all. Luckily, I've never deposited and have been playing off my winnings from having won a freeroll and building up my bankroll in the past.

 

[JohnQuincyAdams]

Here’s results from my last 90 min session on global.

Couldn’t agree more that something like the equitable distribution theory or simply action inducing software is part of the Global software ecosystem. Below is a concise and certainly not thorough statistical review of my last 90 minute session on Global. I played several Jackpot SnGs (hence the high amount of preflop all ins), a couple $.05/$.10 cash and one tournament.
Lost 27 times to 3 outers preflop and on the flop. 8 times I flopped top two pair on the flop only to lose to a rivered straight. Only once was the opponent open ended. 5 times flopped top 2 to lose to runner runner flush. Flopped 3 sets. Lost all 3 on river to a straight. 2 hit the gutshot. Hand that knocked me out of tourney was 66vs10s. Which if course isn’t a bad beat but adds to the story. And my final hand at a Jack Pot SNG went like this. I shove all in with 22 and get called by A2 offsuit. Flop comes 555. Another 3 out situation at best...ok 4 outs if a 5 hits. Turn card is? You guessed it! A ****ing 5. I lose. There were MULTIPLE other strange beats. And in fairness I did hit two 3 outers myself and 3 gutshots. So I benefited from some luck as well. But the aforementioned “variance” is beyond the pale of anything mathematically feasible. The only reason I am even currently on Global is because they offered me $50 for a $2 purchase. I lost about 70% of my bankroll on the site in this short session. Wish I would have jumped off a bit earlier. Clearly there is something shady going on.

 

[MethodicalPlay]

You won’t believe me but it’s true

Since Ultimate Bet and black whatever when they turned online poker off back in ?? 20xx I didn’t know there was anything for U S to turn to until Facebook advertises GlobalPoker. Excited i quickly deposit $20! That’s it! Twenty bucks!

Methodically, I turned $20, I’m not lying but I play tight. Unless I’m all in preflop, if I slow play to trap, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve folded large pockets, including aces. It’s just how I play; I turned that $20 into $2,000.00 in one week.

Now, I’m leery, do I make a withdrawal, If I do will they flip the F U switch on me? Ahh, you’re being paranoid I tell myself and withdraw $1,000.00.

Guess what? I’m done with Global. Saddest shit I’ve ever seen. When UB was around I made more money there than in my business. I have never seen anything like what’s happening at Global.

Has anyone ever experienced the GlobalPoker River Card Stutter? (My nickname for it). Where you put DonkeyDewey all in on or preflop and the cards start coming in “metronome” speed until the river card “stutter” and a half beat slower gives Dewey that case card needed to cripple you?

Just deal me a fair game. I’m not going to win them all but it is rare that I don’t finish in the money. But when you play as tight as I do (folding 80% of the time preflop), there’s a damn problem.

Since the 1k withdraw - well, let’s just say again, So long GP.

Multi deck shoe

So in your thread you state: “....more frequently than a live game where your dealing with one deck distributed between only 9 people.”

Do you play online poker somewhere that deals multi-deck poker?

Which way do I go to see that? I just want to watch.

What can be bread can be bread. These quirks could be the result of a me. Kidding. Some computers do this naturally. The algorithm program picks up on the user interface and its need to be present could be the cause. Maybe people caught on and abused it. Maybe it is just part of lie. Maybe Creepy Dutch people have just been making an easy buck. Doubtful thought. Kept happening so pay attention. You know laying it all down sometimes isn't all that great. The odds against many hands not of pocket nature often have almost equal chance. Its still about how you play the game. Just get at what you are given and maybe there's a prize awaiting...

 

[Fuktard]

Global joker is trash. I read someone say something about playing with bigger money to avoid the river chasers.....no ****ing way. Aint no way I will play any kind of real type $$$ on this site. Throw a 5 or 10 here and there every now and then but anyone who plays with hundos or stacks is either rich...retarded...or an employee of the site. I seen way too much bullshit to even consider putting any kind of big $$$ on there. Not to mention its like pulling teeth to get my cashout. Quick to take it away but take forever to give it. There is a reason paypal stoped ****ing with them. GLOBALPOKER SUCKS.

 

[James_Harrison]

If it is it might not be rigged on just US sites..

 

[macha2003]

Same feeling on all online games

I have been feeling the same way you do for online games. But I have been watching a lot of very big live tournaments and this bad beats happens a lot. Last one I watched EPT Barcelona main event. There are sooo many bad beats that made even me so angry I think it is always safer not to put too much money to this online games and try to enjoy only. I hope you can find some live games

 

[imhighhommie]

I've been playing on Global for a couple weeks and have had none of the problems some of yall are stating. Seems fine, enjoying it a lot.

 

[macha2003]

I witnessed and lived same story at live games several times.
Guys (short stack goes all in with 4-7 off-suit I call with my KK and flop (not even any other streets!!) 568 . Next day people were showing me to their friends as an example of 'worst beat ) '
And I went all in with JJ biggest stack called with his AA , I hit my J , So this is poker
