…been deep in a MTT with about 10xBB, only to have your Internet go out completely?
And by the time you can figure out something to get back to the tournament, enough time has passed that you blinded out in 33rd place (in a tournament with ~1300 entrants)?
I am just curious if anyone has had an experience like this before.
It happened to me this evening, and I have to say, it’s a really shitty feeling. I'm on dial-up, do to the rural location of where I live. Dial-up, connecting at 26.4 kbps, is the only option for Internet. I'm pretty sure that I'm going to cancel the dial-up, because this sort of thing happens all the time, and do I really need to pay $20 a month for that type of bullshit? I've decided I don't.
