Sometimes you don't know in advance that you are going to have problems when you start a three hour MTT.

Hi all,
I know what your saying RammerJammer, it's happened to me before as stated above, more often than not it's not even an ISP issue but rather the poker software, and no you won't get the poker support to admit there is a problem with their server or connection.
You say it mostly only happens when you play poker, that should tell you something, the software is either not compatible with your pc or something worse. I cannot run bodog on my pc because it's windows98, bodog software only runs on later ersions of windows, their loss.
Some poker rooms have iruses, this is probably not mentioned enough but it happens, especially with new poker rooms which don't have the budget needed for the security when starting out. Saying that even some well known poker rooms have iruses too.
My point is it is hard enough to win consistently without the added worry of disconnects, if your disconnecting frequently you shouldn't be, so it might be worth trying another poker room. Also check the thi... | | Read Entire Entry |

Hi all,
Probably the only thing that can annoy me while playing poker is the famous disconnect. I have dial up which you expect it to happen more frequently but it shouldn't, a lot depends on what poker room your playing.
Pokerstars has not once disconnected me, it runs smooth just like how it should but there are other poker rooms software which disconnects continously which is why i'm only with 3 places now.
And yes it always seems to disconnect at the most improper place like Alfoldem says. I've noticed Ultimate Bet goes through server problems depending on the time of day and you get that big yellow box come up stating they are trying to re-connect which could take up to 5 minutes, too late for your hand then.
I have seen some players who get disconnected pretty much every single turn, they are not only wasting everyone's time but there own time and money too, you can't play a game while that is happening and dial up isn't the problem with those players, it's either a ery o... | | Read Entire Entry |

If and when I lose my connection I'm on the phone to my ISP immediately. I pay a lot for the fastest connection they offer and I expect it to work !

doesnt happen that often for me, once or twice a month with playing everyday.
2 that spring to mind though:
once it happened on the turn when i landed my one and only royal flush (although im not counting it as i still feel a bit cheated)
the other time it happened in an MTT, approx 200 left out of over 1000, big stack at the table was bullying everyone and i get dealt pocket A's, true to form he raised before i acted, i was about to push all in when i got disconnected! by the time i got back to the table i was so mad i pushed with Q9 suited and busted out!
