Evidence GG poker are simply banning all players over a certain w/r?

Evidence GG poker are simply banning all players over a certain w/r?

Using this site, https://smarthand.pro/top, I cant find literally any high-volume players at any stakes with w/r over 4b

I am still waiting for that evidence tho 😃


by Slugant

I dont know if the alarm only goes off once a player start winning but pretty much only regs bumhunt, fish themselves dont. And a bumhunting reg is very likely a winning player.

They are warning bumhunters who break ToS, if you win and dont break ToS you wont get warned.
Take that as you want.

Talk like you are being paid by GG.

Just told you, as losing player/bad reg you can bumhunt as much as you want.

Only when you start winning...and that to me is clear evidence GG is infact kicking winners out.

Im waiting as well for the evidence of big winners who do not table select, LOL!

Tables die soon after the 1 fish quits.

No wonder why their rake is so high. For **** sake Slugant take a pay cut.:p


Everyone knows theres regular rake, preflop rake, bad beat jackpot rake and then theres 2bb slugant rake :p

For Pokerzil if you are wondering if im paid by GG just read my post history on them. There are many things wrong with GG but they dont just ban winning players, no matter how high you jump.

You say you are waiting for evidence of big winners who dont table select.
Once again, the top 100 winners is full of still active players, and in HS they mostly play each other. How are they all table selecting versus each other?? The biggest HS crushers dont table select much yet they win. And without any bans.

If you claim tables die as soon as the fish quits... That is predatory behaviour and I do applaud sites for taking a stance against this.
Then again you also say losing can bumhunt as much as they want. How the hell do you keep on being loser player when you bumhunt so much?? Maybe thats an issue that deserves a little more focus.


Hahahahaha.

Seems you dont even play there. Or win there.

I do. I win.

Its like talking sex with virgin. Im sure the virgin knows better than the guy whos out there and banging daily.

Still you seem hell-bent on sucking to GG on this. Gotta keep those checks coming in.

Ofc he has no evidence on big winners who dont table select.

All the 500 to 2k tables die insta the fish quits. Just watch the action if you dont believe, lolz.


If that happens they all are bumhunting and should be warned/banned right? Furthermore they should be winning and as you claim they are warning/banning players simply for winning... but they keep on playing so they are clearly not getting banned for it. Its basic logic.

Also right now there are 5 full 2k tables and 8 full 500nl tables running without fish.. did you even check before making up that nonsense? Making that stuff up sounds nothing like you 😃😃

And I do quite well there actually, but lets put it to the test OK?
Lets play 20k hands of 500nl HU to settle his, lets see if the virgin will beat the daily banging guy :p
I just hope I dont get banned for bumhunting vs you 🙂

When can we start?


Thank God the TOS is not vague af so anyone anytime can not be labeled as bumhunter.

Thank God its the same rule for everyone.

Thank God several HS crushers have not been banned already.


If you get warned you clearly know that you've been doing it wrong so you can/should change

But you missed a big part of my questions, I'll kindly ask again since you surely wont pussy out vs a virgin right???

I jump in every now and then in these games and he’s right, tables die as soon as rec bust like every other sites, sometimes regs play for like an extra orbit or 2 but thats it, some have played me HU for 5 minutes too before leaving


Yet i saw 13 full running 500 & 2k nl tables running without fish so not everyone leaves and rec busts.
It also isnt really the subject of this thread since its about banning winners who dont break ToS. But lets say indeed tables are all dying as soon as rec busts... Then I would say its fine of GG to try to combat that behaviour, so are GG warning and banning all these players that leave start & leave directly with the fish? If we get too predatory fish will notice.

Of course there are other causes for game changes as well but before bumhunting really was a thing and before seating scripts the poker ecology was a lot healthier and more fun for recs. No harm done in trying to get back to that feeling, even its just a little bit.


ok but when you’re paying 7bb in rake its hard to justify no table selection


Its hard to say what the actual rake is in 5-6card due to all the bs, but way higher than 7bb imo.

But thats the core issue, play unbeatable rake vs regs or bumhunt lolz.

Sounds like they're kicking off bad customers. If you win but aren't a pure bum hunter you can stay. You at least have value to the site. If you lose but bum hunt who cares. If you only bum hunt, and you win obviously you're a pretty worthless customer.

Now I'm just going off of what people in this thread are saying so if that's not what's going on then it's a different story.

I've never played on GG. But I long ago said on 2p2 that 2 different players can show the exact same amount of rake paid in a month while having 2 totally different values as a customer. If one guy is a super bum hunter all he's doing is taking up a seat that someone else would take anyway. He isn't actually generating one extra nickel in rake for the site. The other guy starts games, plays in not great lineups etc is actually generating rake for the site.


Do you have any idea how much every reg pays rake on GG?

Talking about 100-300k a year.

Its pretty sick on plo.

Anyway, you can stretch the argument that every reg is just blocking fish seat on the table.


I play plo & plo5. The rake is high, for 6max it is at least 10bb/100 and the BBJ 4-5bb/100.

You get pretty decent cashback, so you end at probably 7-8bb net rake, which is higher than most competitors.

I think GG is not banning people who table select, but people who are avoiding every lineup, where there is a possibility, that they are loosing. I‘m actually fine with this and this is probably the reason, why it is easy to get a seat with a rec compared to other sits.

@slugant: there are hardly ever tables, where very decent players try to battle. They are table selecting, you just don‘t see it.


Agree, except on decent cashback part. Pvi 0.1 and you get 10% back...


I dont think I've seen a PVI that low. I calculated mine and it was around 0.25 which is near the low end I believe.
And I shouldnt say this because im obviously getting paid by GG, but the invisible PVI slashing advertised rakeback% is the most shady and despicable trick at GG and for me a reason not to keep grinding much volume there. Also, the rake is too high and I hate preflop rake.
In comparison to that shadyness I think a bit vague anti-bumhunting policy isnt much of a big deal.

Most rakeback players also actually lose pre-rb, which means their PVI is a lot higher and they also rely on winning leaderboards. But for those who dont mass-table and win its a messed up thing.

Only because you dont win enough. Get good and get lower pvi and easier warnings.


If I suck so much why do you ignore each challenge

3rd time's a charm, cmon put your money where your mouth is

Dont pussy out a third time or are you somehow even worse than me?


Actually lower pvi proves my WR is higher.

Thanks GG!

Bet my hourly is higher 😉

I was willing to put my money where my mouth is but unfortunately you chickened out three times in a row. Guess you talk like a daily banger but are the scared virgin after all.

And with such cowardly traits im not surprised you are getting so many bumhunting warnings 😉

Scared virgin!

That sounds like the kind of insult someone would say when they moved here from Turkey and hadn't learned how we use the word "pussy"
