Review of Global Poker
I think the site is honest
I think the site is honest, but for the players who are
playing free it probably feels it's not because of all the bad beats and suck outs, and this is due to there not being a penalty for stupid play. I don't know how many times I've had premium pocket pairs, raised aggressively pre-flop, had two or three callers, then trip up on the flop, push aggressively, get a donkey to call all in with a 9-7 offsuit and who hits two pair or a straight on the river. IRL poker where there might be a couple of hundred dollars at stake that call would not have been made, so you end up getting all spun up because it looks like something funny is going on. The game is honest, you just get donkeys in there more interested in playing showdown than poker. Best graphics of all the sites, too.

Review of Global Poker
Like most of the comments here I too…
Like most of the comments here I too think the frequency of bad beats, particularly on the river, is pretty improbable. I don't even like getting premium hands anymore because I know with certainty it will be sucked out on the river. Also, I've seen more quad and straight flush hands on the site in the last couple of months than in the thirty plus years I've been playing IRL casino Hold'em. They insist it's all random, but when you see events occur that are five or six standard deviations from the norm it makes one wonder. Great graphics, though.

Dear Edward,
We are sorry to hear about your gaming experience.
We’d like to emphasize that bad beats and bad cards are natural aspects of the game. It can happen even to the best or any poker players; having good cards doesn't guarantee a sure win. If you have been following the Polk vs Negreanu Challenge, you can see how poker variance plays out even for the best in the world.
We do understand that not winning is annoying and frustrating - especially when opponents with their suboptimal hands do not seem to miss a single flop or their few outs always hit on the river. That said, our shuffle does not have the technical capabilities to recognize, profile or in another way 'prioritize' players. It just deals cards when it needs to. Thousands of them every minute.
In global poker, what is improbable is not impossible, therefore as long as there is mathematical chance or probability for certain cards to come - it can and will happen.
We guarantee that all games that we provide are all random. The shuffle that deals hands at our tables uses a Mersenne Twister with background cycling and was certified by iTechLabs on 15 February 2017 which confirmed to be a robust algorithm to generate random numbers. The numbers generated by this RNG have passed Marsaglia's "diehard" tests for statistical randomness; they are unpredictable, non-repeatable, and uniformly distributed.
Thank you for choosing Global Poker.
