Well there i was looking good,i had just took the lead with 4 of us left out of 73 runners in one of those daily UK $500 gtd $5.50 entry micro turbos. I had 1.3m then it was 900k 560k and 400k in chips or as near as damn it so i had a great chance of taking it down when BAAM bloody internet goes then after over half an hour i get to log back in and find i finished 2nd It was so annoying as i was playing quite good ( if i may say so myself ) anyway for my 2nd i got $60 and a $22 ticket.
Shame that happend to ya bro but nice resolt and - even you were absent half an hour. Who knows what mighta happend. Grats on your win - now i have to go watch Selenu Gomez - Pervrts of the world Unite

Teddybears.... Your ISP is the same one that I have had till recently and I have lost count of the connectivity problems that I have experienced over recent months. So! I have changed, cos when I moved house they said they didn't know whether I could get their service, even though my new neighbour used them! So I went and changed ! Haven't had a problem since! Better service even! In relation to your result, that's a couple of good results you have had lately. Well done.

That is a shame Teddy but at least you managed to get to 2nd instead of the other players just ganging up on you to get you out. Those DTD tourneys are pretty good and I see that there is extra money for winner and reaching final table on the majors if you publish results on facebook. I have BT,I know I probably pay a premium for a landline I never use but I live in the countryside so would not risk a smaller provider again.

Is it happening often that you are loosing connection with your virgin net supplier on other site than Party Poker or any where on the net.
I don not want to blame Party Poker but i have seen losing connection with them pretty often. Since a while i do not play there very often except with the Friday and Sunday freeroll and it seems better but it would be something to look at.

A good finish there with some good prize money. while being unlucky with your internet situation. The other player must had one of the easiest heads up ever eating your blinds while you were disconnected. Better luck next time

that was a nice finish friend , i don't think you should blame your internet lot of times i go to grab something while playing and i come back to see that i missed AA but someone had QQ and he hit a set , so i was like thank god i missed that hand maybe it was meant to be for you to take the 2nd place finish , it is not bad at all it really surprised me that the other 3 didn't slow play when they saw you sitting out , waiting for you to bust then continue all i am saying maybe it worked out for the best
