What do you call this?
 
Party.
$25 NL, Dealt AA
Flop: A 6 2.

I'm in late position. Someone from early position goes all in. Called. It's like $23 to me, and as I click call, my laptop freezes.

Talk about a bad beat.

that had to hurt
 
thats something that bugs me. When you know you would have won more chips or at least one you have server/pc problems

johnbaker 10-25-04 08:24 PM

wow if that happened to me id be sick.... throw that laptop away lol

time for a new laptop. an added bonus should be that it will be a little easier to multitable if you either get a bigger laptop screen/higher resolution/or buy a desktop solely for poker use.

Damn that sucks, I've gotten disconnected before but never a complete freeze.

I say count your blessings, $23 is not a very significant amount of cash. Now imagine it was more like $100+, then I'd be pretty pissed off. That is still a pain in the ass though.

It's all relative to the stakes you play and your bankroll. $23 could be someone's entire bankroll. Meanwhile, other people I know (like yours truly) would look at that $100 you quoted as "not a very significant amount." And the top players in the world can throw around tens and even hundreds of thousands as if it's nothing...

True, I know what your saying, maybe I should re-phrase.

Thank goodness it is not the type of money that would make-or-break you. And if it is, you shouldn't be playing online ;).

eddo31 10-26-04 01:10 PM

just curious, but what ended up winning the hand? did you ever figure that out?

U think that was bad
 
At a tourney on absolutePoker me and chipleader are battling i hold 67 flop 10 6 7. We both have about 95,000 in chips. he bets me 25,000 i call. Turn 7. He goes all in on a bluff and my computer freezes. Lost about 40,000 plus what i could have won from him. I hate Absolute Poker. I still finished in 8th place though
