GlobalPoker - Might Actually Be Rigged

[WizOfAz]

Very small/stale sample set. I am more curious as to why Global Poker does not offer hand history??

Yes ..small sample size but that's all the time I had to play. I played 3 to 5 Mtts on nights that I could. As for " 13K not being very much" I didn't say it was but that what it was. Just a little extra income. As for me doing so much better on Global I am really not doing that much better. My ROI is probably substantial lower but my volume is higher.
As for Global not allowing hand history. I believe they do allowing it for Cash games but nothing else. I don't play Cash just Mtt's. You would have to ask them for sure but I have heard they limit HH to discourage use if HUDS. No one likes not being able to review past play but if that eliminates the ability for players to use HUDS then I am good with it.

Hope that helps.

Well there it is. You caught me. PokerStars isn't showing results btw but you can tell by my ability score of 80 that I ran better there than the other networks. SharkScope also doesn't/didnt track all the other sites that I played on like Bugsy's Room.. This is what I can tell you... I won about 13K on avg playing mainly $5-$20 Mtts from 2006 to 2010 from online poker. You can believe it or not I really don't care.

So since you were a loser on Global I presume your theory is their RNG is rigged to favor players like me? Let's hear it. Get it out.

I won quite a lot more than that from 2007-2011 and I think Global is shady too ...

I play on Global Poker and it is okay but variance can happen at some point in players poker career with Global Poker!

This makes almost no sense. I am not finding hand history for cash games, this is where the events happened that I referenced in the beginning. Besides, a HUD would benefit cash game players more. More data, more consistent play (no blind increases to have to adjust aggression). So, once again, that doesn’t make any sense. I have asked Global why they do not allow hand history (like, literally, every other poker site on the Internet that I have used
); guess what their response is...radio silence. People will ask the question from time to time on their Facebook ads...same no answer.

Once again, why would you not play brick and mortar also?

Let me preface this by saying I'm currently up about $120 on GlobalPoker (frequent cashouts)
I have been doing some research with regards to GlobalPoker. I have been playing poker for years and understand the ridiculous swings of poker and variance pretty well. I've had plenty of unlucky runs and even more lucky ones.

So when I started to go through these swings on GlobalPoker I thought nothing of it, but there is nowhere I have played (and I have played in several online and live locations/platforms) where it seem to happen as algorithmicly and suspiciously than on this site. Upon doing further research, it seems that MANY others have claimed the same (disproportionate to other sites)

I know that most people that make these claims simply misunderstand variance, but with GP, you seem to make money when you make deposits or have relatively low cash.

Building up a bankroll on GP is ridiculously easy. The tables are incredibly soft. However, it seems that once you get to a certain point you find you literally can't win much of anything. I'm talking getting 1 outed for a straight on the river with an all in bet in excess of 10 times in an hour or two.

Just wanted to post this as a caution and warning to all GlobalPoker users and see if I can get feedback to confirm or disconfirm this. Hopefully someone out there might be able to record their hands there and do a statistical analysis to confirm these suspicions.

Or maybe I'm just on an ungodly bad run. who knows.

Do not play those on other poker rooms, get used to one, even if it is a sub-structure, you see it and use it. Since any room affects the game at the table. This program is written by someone and not live poker. I can also say about poker stars a lot of interesting things in terms of cheating players; well, everyone does it. Go to live poker or take advantage of what you notice in your +

Well once again you didn't dig too hard..see attached screen shot of Hand History for cash game.

As for "why would you not play brick and mortar also?" ... I guess your just trolling as wasn't it you that posted a pic of me winning a live Mtt? As for Live vs Online Mtts I have played prob 98% of my play online. I didn't start playing casino Mtts til 2019. I have never played a wsop event but will in the near future. I would imagine you have already Google'd me though and already know this but there you have it.
Did I get all your questions answered?

Weird...stats show you weren’t good at all on Full Tilt or PokerStars...(see attached)

It doesn't show people stats correctly on ss and most won't have opted in..
