| not at all, its very low bandwidth. Youre not sending graphics down the line but rather small packets of information is coming to your pc from the server and the program on your pc reacts accordingly, sure its a continous stream of packets but nothing like downloading a torrent |

| ^^^ he is right the only time I have any lag is if I have a Torrent open. My wife and I sometimes will play in a tourney together and my son will be playing online with his Xbox 360 and we have no lag at all. Your lag may be caused by your IPS (internet service provider) or a old router.<<This will also depend on your location. Example my friend lives in Maine in the US and they always have lag spikes. Sometime resetting your router and modem in a lot of cases will help this problem. GL |

| Thanks for the quick answer. I live in an appartment and we share the internet and one computer of another couple is slow and they said it could be because of online poker (I have no prob with my computer). But i reacted that a bittorent is prob. the cause. But thanks anyway now i can continue with my pokergame (they asked me to stop pokerplaying well not in my lifetime!!!) |
