I wish these sites would really be more transparent and let everyone know whats really going on. Lately I'm getting disconnect from every site I play except for Betcoin. Seems better today so maybe they had to call in professional help from outside to deal with it. FullFlush and BOL have always disconnected seems its just something people live with there. Ive tried different views turning off animations everything. ACR and Blackchip yesterday and day b4 had cash games but no tourneys showed up. and lag. Our options seem thin already to have to put up with this. I like to play heads up and cant now until all this is fixed. Well i wont. The answers I've gotten from them are down right insulting.

Nothing more frustrating than being disconnected guring a game. It's pretty funny how there's never any resolution or reimbursement for money lost because of this, you pretty much just have to take it on the chin as a player. And think I speak for every online poker player when I say, we've all been there.

I agree with everything you said, but unfortunately the site can't know what may have caused disconnection. Many people would take advantage in crucial moments disconnecting, if you was the only losing the connection , most of the time you (or your provider) is the major responsible for your connection. I don't really have a plausible solution to this case.

Each case is different. Just remembering an example that happened to me in a tournament of 888 poker this year, a Halloween tournament with 10,000 entries. In the middle of the tournament I was disconnected, and could not come back for about 10 min.
When I tried to return, the site said that the problem was in my internet. When I came back, almost the entire table (and at others tables too ) was disconnected, but the tournament went on. The few who won't disconnected were
stealing all the blinds, and had no replacement . In this case , which for me was clearly an error at site server, they would have to stop the tournament to normalize everything, but it was not what happened.
