And now, my conection is really a challenge. Until today the capacity had ups and down, and I thought that my wi fi conection was poor, because I live in an old and big house, with wide walls. So I maked a new installation using a router as replicationer and plug in with optical fiber. It works well for a few days but yesterday the conection desapper. I disarm all the stuff but the conection don´t got better!!

Is extremely upsetting when the Internet connection is not good. I remember the first time when i had at my home internet, was a contract with some boys in the neighborhood and the Internet was slow and fall almost in every week. I changed with a private company and everything was ok.

I maked some changes in my house and my computer and the situation went a bit better. I update the operating sistem and download a new driver for the router, etc, etc.. Twoo days working on it for a little improvement. But the best connection that I could get is about 3 Mb, and the fiber connection could give to me 100 Mb!!!

You need to talk with this internet company for you can have it a good internet. Many countries have low speeds and this is not good. What's going on with the internet these days it's a relegation, to say so. Two days in a row 888poker had big problems and has ruined the game of many players. The situation is not good, but it can return to normal as well for you or for all.

The net have general problems, particular problems and ruin problems, I have the last of it. I don´t know what do you write about talk with internet company...do you advise to me for make a deal with Mr Administrator and go with him to make an offer that they couldn´t refuse? Maybe this is the only option....I think about it!

I was referring to the fact that: you can change your internet provider with a better one. Problems with the internet are very small in my country. I think in Argentina is the same, if you have good providers. You do not have to talk with the administrator. You must to check the internet provider's guide, then choose a good one. Good luck

No my friend, this is not by these way. Argentina have a big territory that seem like an hiper developed head (Buenos Aires) and famelicous body (almost all the provinces). The current goverment has discontinued the federal project to make a ring of optical fiber to all the country. So now in Buenos Aires you have a lot of providers at 300 Mb, but here in my city (300 mts of Viedma, capital of Río Negro province) you only have twoo or three providers at 3Mb
my provider is pretty stable ... of course sometimes I have problems with internet connection but usually these problems are solved promptly ..... I certainly had a moment when I wanted to change the provider but ... changed my mind in time .... and it was right

I understand your words and here is a solution. Directors of these companies can do a good thing but i do not know if they want this thing. I do not know the situation there or what is their interest. Maybe they do not want to do something good and is very bad for internet customers. I hope people make scandal for a good internet.

Thank for your good wishes, but here the people are doing scandals for trying to survive!! The cost of food and elementary service (energy and water) is growing up incessantly, and the government is occupied making new depth. In two years and a half, they have double the national depth and it`s near to become in default!
and in Russia every day the dollar is growing towards the ruble ..... today it is 70 rubles for 1 dollar .... and just a month ago it was almost 10 rubles less ..... but the salary does not grow .... and it's certainly very sad .... Of course if you earn a game of poker, then it's profitable .... but it's not about me

It's very serious what's going on in Argentina and all the hopes to make money, are the online poker rooms and The BankrollMob for you my friend because a treasure is hard to find. I hope you to find in 888poker a good amount of money and after that to occasionally earn a sum of money. in Romania they have destroyed many jobs and when it will not be money for pensions and salaries I think the governors will run out of the country because of fear. Good luck with 888poker and BRM for moment and with other if the situation it will change for the better.

The good news is that 888poker allow me to play again. But for taking my scratch cards I had to do some hacker`s work. I had to use a Tor browser to access to the gift´s page because Firefox or Chrome couldn´t do it. Whatever, yesterday I spend a while to look for information about my future in poker. I found a lot of unknowing things for me: there are groups of baking`s players, there are stables that have a system for makeup new players, and (most important) there is a Senior League for players of my age...I have a bit of hope!

Two days ago 888 fell and i lost a ticket of $ 5.50 and the entry in 10 k freerool. Yesterday i play 3 hours and 40 minutes in the big fish tournament with other ticket of $ 5.50 and my stack was 43 k and 490 chips. I had a chance to earn more money after a bad period and 888 again error because of network issues. Incredible. This morning a small window told me that i won 25.98 $. Again bad luck to me or maybe not ( Depends on what i was doing in the game ). The ticket two days ago was lost without compensation and yesterday i won because of my sitting out with 888 errors.

Bird in hand is better than one hundred flying in the air! another saying in my country is "money in hand ass in earth" This is not a bad thing CALICUL, all of we have to fight for a long while to get an amount like these. Certainly, you could win a better prize, but you couldn´t too...By the way, what a shame the 888´s situation!!

in Russia, this proverb sounds like this: it's better to have a bilberry in hand than a crane in the sky ..... about the same .... It's interesting that in different countries there are similar proverbs .... and of course it is not known what it was if he stayed in game .... so rejoice dude

These words with the bird in hand, is better than a flying bird or the bird on the fence and is a universal proverb. 888poker yesterday had bigger problems and today again. It seems like these attacks has caused many problems and i hope the situation returns to normal.

For the while, when the troubles allow opening a window of well functioning (a couple hours per day) I confirm that MY troubles continue and I couldn`t win my precious S&G. Since about one month ago, I´m losing all the "flip coin" with good hands, or I have to play the worst hand before the blinds eat me. At this moment I´m not a player or a gambler, I´m an organ donor!!!

Lol. Is a very aggressive term. I think you're a more evolved player than an amateur who always loses and he does not know yet about online poker. All you have to do is study and watch few movies about how to play, after that you will see and you will understand better many things.

I understand very well, but I do it in the worst style! ...and the variance help a bit. By the way, yesterday I have a bit of good variance, and I won three S&G in a row with many flips to my side. You could learn a lot, and you could have a good knowledge but without lucky, you only could be an honorable loser!
