Hands Autofolding (iPoker)

Has anyone else experienced this? Where your hand just automatically folds without you doing anything? At first I thought it was just me brushing my laptop pad by accident (see here) but it happened again today when I had the nuts again and was ready to re-raise all-in again.

I'm definitely not using my touchpad any more in case it is still me pressing something by accident, but I could swear I didn't press anything this time!

Not playing there but there are a few reasons this happens to me at FTP:

1. lag + no time bank
2. being "sit out" (either due to 1. and not clicking "I am back" or because I was doing something else on the side and didn't notice)

I can't tell you anything about that site, but i have had the nuts on merge several times, and out of the blue got "disconnected", and miraculously reconnected after the hand was over. That happened quite a few times too, and when i was holding the absolute nuts.Had i been disconnected from the client, it would normally take me a few minutes to reconnect, and i normally would have to click 'deal me in', i would see "refreshing table" in the chat box, and see a box "i am back" on the table. I always have a full time box, and don't sit there till i'm timed out either. That never happened when i was holding a hand that i would or could have lost with. Very strange. So far, getting folded out without my doing it has only happened a few times. Again i had full time boxes, and wasn't disconnected. But those times i was holding the best hand also. Can't say "it's rigged" lol, but i do find it quite strange and figure it's just some glitch, but the fact i was never holding a 'bad' hand when this happened really makes me wonder.

I've never had this happen on iPoker network sites but was occassionally happening to me on partypoker awhile ago. Solution - log out & log back in again. No clue why it was happening.

It never happend to me on iPoker network. But lag or big latency can cause this problems for sure.
