Global poker is 1000% rigged. Bad beats are one thing; fine, they happen. I've played thousands and thousands of hands of live poker - my friends and I play religiously every weekend (we're addicts tbh). So the excuse that the beats on Global Poker only seem so awful because we see so many more hands with online poker is BULLSHXT. I genuinely love the game of poker. This may sound crazy to some but really it's almost like a sport; it's not just gambling and it is truly an advanced, strategic game. I respect it too much to post some bs because I'm angry or upset or whatever you might be presuming, and I'm actually net positive on the site. So when I say that GP is straight up WRONG, I MEAN IT. I have intentionally done things to prove that the site is RIGGED. And I know it is rigged because not only have I experienced absolutely despicable run outs time and time again, but I've done things intentionally to prove to myself that the site is rigged. Basically, it is designed, at a certain point, to make certain individuals win. This may make me sound like a sore loser or a salty skeptic, but I assure you that is not the case. I have actually benefited from them being rigged, which is why I KNOW it is. For instance, I was in a tournament that was taking an extremely long time, 4-5 hours or so. I was big stack (position 1 out of whatever) and it was going on so long I didnt even want to keep playing. At the final table, I started tossing chips around because I was so sick of playing. Long story short, because I was big stack, the site was literally giving me everything so I could eliminate people. People were shoving KK, QQ, JJ, AK, etc, and I was calling with 4 6 off to see what would happen, and i KEPT WINNING. The worst one was when a kid flopped two pair - A K. He placed a sizable bet of course, but then I pushed him ALL IN with a 7 2 off because I was running so hot that it seemed absurd to me - it was truly like the site was pushing the game to end. And guess what? The flop is  A K 5 or something like that, he has 2 pair, and of course when I put him all in he calls because he has a monster hand and we're all tired. I'm obviously gonna lose right? NOPE. The TURN RIVER IS 7 7. I WIN WITH A 7 2 OFF, after running EXTREMELY HOT ALREADY. It was either they dealt me the best hand by a long shot (I was pairing Aces and Kings left and right), or I was winning with terrible cards, and I mean nothing but straight air on the flop then running out a flush, taking down monster hands with 4 8 offs and J 5 offs, etc  multiple times in a row. To make matters worse, at the final two, after I had eliminated everybody really without even playing seriously because they were handing it to me, my opponent shoved pocket 8s, I had pocket 6s and called. The flop comes, we both whiff, but then he hits an 8 on the turn, I'm surely f*cked... To put it into context, I had about double his stack and if he won this hand we would be about even. But wait, NOPE look closer, I had a gut shot straight draw with my 6s. (which I didnt even notice at first). Surely enough, after he turns a set of 8s to my pair of 6s, I hit a STRAIGHT on the river and win the tourney. And this was RIGHT AFTER, like THE. NEXT. HAND,  after I won with a 7 2. The game was pushing to wrap it up and have me win. This is just one example, it's such bullshxt it's hard to put into words... DONT GIVE THEM YOUR MONEY!!!!!
