BOL disconnects

Hi, complete newcomer here. Some experience years ago but in "starting over" mode. Starting at freeroll/microstakes level. To

For fun and practice I've been doing some freeroll MTT playing at BOL. We all know the deal with these types of tournaments - thousands of players, short starting stacks, blinds move fast, only about 1% cash, most prizes less than $1. Players tend to be bad but the odds are still against you. As I said, "for fun and practice". And it is still practice. BOL because they have a lot of these, mainly.

However, one major issue for me has been disconnects. I have experienced a few. That's okay when there is no money at stake, although annoying even if only time is wasted. Has anyone else had this specific issue, especially with real money? It has nothing to do with my internet connection.

I experience this almost everyday while playing. Playing in the 50k today.. if it happens during this I'm gonna go nuts

That would be extremely annoying

I guess the only silver lining is that it could happen to your opponents, too. I was kind of suspecting (perhaps hoping) that they gave more bandwidth to the real money players and only tortured the freerollers with disconnects.

I guess I have been lucky but have had very little d/c

Daily in BOL hell . . .

Worse than ACR cancelling FreeBuys after you play for an hour.

Another one as we speak at 1:29pm EST . . .

Sad . . .

Everyday? Seriously? Clean it up bol. I play on this site everyday and EVERYDAY I am having connection issues. Other players are confirming that they are getting disconnected too so I know it's not my internet.

It happens a lot. I think it happens more often if I have multiple tables open. Had it happen recently in a tournament just after flopping a set with a pocket pair. It reconnected just after it folded my hand. What is worse about it is that the hand history won't show you what happened to the hand/s while you were disconnected.

The other thing that irritates me about BOL, is the check/call button location. You can intend to click check, or call a minimum raise right as someone else is making a big raise and inadvertently call a raise you didn't intend to. I try not to do the advance call too often for that reason. I did have on instance where I was clicking in small blind to call half a BB right as someone made a 3bb raise and it instantly called with 5 8 off, and flopped a straight. But it doesn't usually work out that way.

Are you guys multi tabling? I have no issues on BOL when playing one table, but when I played a couple of tables I was also being disconnected.

The last couple dayz I haven't had any problems.

It has been a constant problem for me. I also have problems with the program shutting down early in the tournament. This forces a restart of program.

Was playing BOL last night. Disconnected twice in first 10 minutes. Hate it.
