Happens a lot. I hate it. I have a shared internet connection in a block of apartments and it sometimes stops for an hour without warning. Not much you can do about it. I tend to start punching the walls.

So bad luck, that It came when I was chipleader.
I never had problems whit electricity,but my internet connection sucks,I am on wireless,and signal is not that good,so frequently I just lose connection in the middle of the hand,and that is really frustrating me.....but what can I do.....

i understand how the feeling was for you and it does not matter if it is 1.20$ or 100.10 $ ... the feeling to be disconnected when you are chipleader is never nice , however that it also does not mean that you would have being in the bubbles but possibilty was hugh indeed .

had a similar thing happen the other night, was playing 4 mTTs on PKR and my internet (satelitte) went down for around 40min. I was coming first in a 300 field $3 MTT (down to 40 ppl) and was well placed in other 3. I still managed to final table all of them upon return (with some good luck lol) but no major placings which sucked. Come 10th/300 in the $3 game, for $11 or something, where as 1st was nearly $200

Ahh tough luck it's extremely frustrating, personally I plug in the cord when I grind it's a bit more stabile but it obviously doesn't prevent power failure.

Thank You as closer look this....
It got money from that tournament
I checked my account movements, and there was 2.60€ + came 20 minutes after I lost connection, so it's definetily from tournament the time I was run out of chips. So I finished probably ranking 4-6.
