Just always nice to know that if you are using a laptop you have an alternetive for your wireless mouse.
I think it s really a nightmare when it happens, having the nuts ...., seen it , .... and folding due to a not working mouse or a internet connection that fails.

so i guess this easily qualifies for Guinness book of records as "the most expensive set of batteries"  i imagine how frustrating it is to watch those seconds ticking away & knowing that you cannot change anything...that's cruel, one thing when u r holding just a strong hand, but when u have the nuts & it's nosebleeds...

that is why i dont use wireless mouses. I hate wires but wireless mouses are slower heavier and needs to charge. Sad story thought.

There is a good reasons for which all top poker players and also are pro gamers out there use wired mouse and keyboard!
The story was really great an unfortunately realyl, really costly for Sami 
I think now he learned the lesson.

I've been there so many times its unreal, but never for this amount of money.
In once instance though it went in my favour. I was in the Daily Dollar on FTP and close to the final table. I picked up AA under the gun and raised. Two players shoved all in and I was all set to call. Both of them had me well covered.
My mouse died on me, and frantically I was trying to find my spare mouse. I watched as I was timed out, screaming like hell. Eventually I was timed out and my hand folded. The two players who were lal in both had lower Pocket pairs, and both hit a set. No ace came, so I ended up saving my game from it. I got my spare mouse carried on playing and finiished in 4th place earning a cool $500 which was $420 more than I would have done if I'd called.
So in my case a screwed up mouse saved me....

This story sounds like a legend.In the iPoker network is not plausible,because you can use F1,F2,F3 buttons from keyboard to make calls on game.Just a click to fortune.
Good luck

| Gosh, internet connections on Eastern Europe are really winning a lot of bad publicity with all these news. If there's any company available to secure a good service, they can think of picking up on these cases to make that kind of advertisments that talk bad about the competitors to win space in the market. And this would work just fine.

| with no mouse can one not just use his tab key to move??
|
| irishgilly | 02/12/2012 03:43:50 GMT |
| Not being very tech savvy, I have zero idea if one can use a key to move instead of the dead mouse. What a horror story though. As for all those making fun of him for not having a spare battery for the mouse- give me a break- this could happen to anyone using a wireless. How often have you thought you had extra only to discover you had just not quite enough...of anything. Batteries, eggs, cigarettes,one can easily run out of any thing. Chances are very good that he thought he had more batteries. I don't think I would sit down to play a tourney without spare batteries right next to me, but some times people forget the most important things. I really feel for you dude. I was once playing break the bank at a micro casino. I had been playing with dollars. Kept losing. Got down so low, had to switch to pennies. On the first penny pull I won free spins, which led to me winning 750,000 coins. Had they still been dollars, I would have been ever so happy. Since they were pennies, well, not so much...

I have lost so many $ due to bad connection and other pc fails. Those situations are more painful than bad beats.
Bring more disc protection time !!!

On November 20th, we wrote about a Danish web designer who was leading Sunday Million for about 3 hours until he lost his Internet connection and eventually finished in 281th place for $583 (
The Finnish poker pro Ville Wahlbeck (on the left) posted a blog post (Folding the winner) last week in which he revealed that his fellow countryman and friend Sami "LarsLuzak" Kelopuro (on the right) once lost a huge pot (about €170k according to a Swedish news site) with the nuts because his wireless mouse ran out of battery.
