Okay so we have our free rolls through the week, and everyone I am sure looks forward to one favorite free roll, mine being bovada on Sat. so you ever wake up and miss the game by one minute or 10 min. how about your out and about and say dang I have to get home the game starts in an hour and you rush home from what ever your doing and miss the dam thing by 5 min.. another classic is waking up to early and say oh game does not start for 3 hours, fall back to sleep and wake and go dammit, I woke up to late. Cant tell how many times on occasion this has happened to me, gets me so frustrated I dont want to play poker for the rest of the day. Just a food for thought little rant to see if this has happened to anyone else.

PS. The ultimate one is where your at your computer and realize the game starts in 3 min, you got 3 min to register but your computer is not booted up, oh no, so you boot up the darn thing only to realize there is an update in the software, oh crap, bam you miss the game by 1 or 2 min. that is the ultimate rage poker killer for the day.

Happens all the time. I hate it sometimes that I am in my computer I got my ticket and I forgot to register! Because I log on on the exact time it starts and realizes that I am not registered! Gah, happens to me twice in the past month lol

There has been a couple of times when I thought I have entered a freeroll, then I am waiting for it to start. Then I noticed its a minute passed the start time and I think hey whats going on so I check and I am not entered. I am sure I entered tho it happened 3 times in one day, now I am either losing my marbles or I actually did enter. More likely the marbles theory :D

Yes,I have had all those things happen,in the first post..and it really sux.
I Do have a secret thats helped me overcome these last minute disasters.I set my clock ahead 5-8 minutes...so this gives me extra time to get registered.It really does work too.Ya gotta try it..
Plus,the time changes this coming weekend,I think.

Those are all pretty bad and frustrating but for myself the one that gets
me is I will have maybe 3 or 4 tourneys in succession spaced 30min to
an hour apart...the first 2 tourneys I am doing really good in and the 1st
probably getting close to bubble and the 3rd tourney goes 20 or 30 mins in
before I remember....paid and reg. and DOH!!!

LOL... I think you have nailed it on ,"Life of an online poker Player".Yeah ,I've been surprised with a software up date a few 100 of times or the modem goes out & have to restart or reboot it.I could go on for hours.Hey...it could be a new reality tv show.
