I wait for him to react and suddenly he checks and the first thing I see is the timebar saying....2...1 Mobster has timed out and folded. WTF my internet must have lagged or something pretty bad timing with this setup

Lol That's the sickest story i've ever heard!! Usually people complains because their set get busted by a scker, but never heard such a bad beat. I hope you get you payback

Posted by doomdy: I think its really crab when automatic fold when dont react in time thats crazy
So a guy who has decided that he had enough beats and sits out can hold up the whole table? It is not funny for a player who has lost the internet connection, but after a while the hand has to be continued.

Posted by M3turbo: Yeah I know what you're saying but it could check if possible or fold if bettet like other sites.
Some sites have a disconnection protection. You are then viewed as being "all in" at the point you lost the connection. So you will not lose the hand without a showdown. Naturely this feature has been misused. So a lot of players dont like it.

DP/I report people when they disconnect then Party investigate their use of the feature if anything looks suspicious they block the DP on that account.
But I had connection when timed out so it should check like on Ipoker and only fold when facing a bet.

I lost to a straight flush yesterday, just $2. I few time ago I made a royal straight flush, it never happened again... Well, the most important is to not tilt after a bad beat or something like that, a lost oportunity

Ya, happened to me so many times I bought myself a external harddrive to unload my computer and looking to upgrading the ram to 1gb. Was thinking about buying segate 1 terabyte internal drive, can fit lots of junk on there and was on sale for $130.. But maybe should just buy a new computer.
Anyway, thats why I like pokerstars cause extra 60sec time bank.

Yeah I would like a timebank on Party and Ipoker please actually I find it weird they don't have it but I guess it's -EV for them(less hands pr hour/less rake).
------------ Hehe GeneYuss im thinking the same, would like some more ram but maybe I should just buy a new laptop

For me, I've decided on upgrading the ram from 512mb to 1024mb. I seen the ram for like $30 but hopefully I find a place for $20 than it would be worth it for sure. But I may buy one too just for playing poker.
My mini computer from RBC is in the mail. I wonder if I can play poker on it.

Most pokerrooms do autocheck if you time out right ? where were you playing ?
