Any worst occasions ever since played on line poker or games?

for me....

the worst time ever is ....

I hold AA and put a lot of my stack into the pot during the bubble time...and power adapter burns due to the laptop high performance...and laptop auto power off:eek: ....be the bubble...:eek:

the other occasion is on one Saturday, played at home and ...house shaking...a small earthquake, and all people from the community ran out....as I did...forget to close 6 table of SNG...and all blinds out...:p




anything worse than that?

That sounds about as bad as it gets, along side with a family emergency.

I've had the client dump on me with AA. Luckily I got it in before it crashed.

Got back on line to find that I got two callers and tripled up. :D

I was playing a freeroll on FTP where you have to get 250 places to get a ticket. I was having a great run and boom my internet went out, it was getting late and the internet was not coming back anytime soon so I went to bed.

Didn't turn out too bad because when I connected in the morning I found out I had a ticket for round 2 in my cashier, so I placed :)

This is the funniest thing that happened to my brother-in-law (he did not find it funny) and this is why:

One day my brother-in-law was playing football manager on the computer in his study, he had just won the the FA Cup and his dog decided to enter the room. His computer tower is on the floor, when the dog enters he knocks the power button with his bum and switches it off. He turned the computer back on and played the FA Cup again and lost lol :D

Bubbling! For me it's the ultimate downer. You spend a good part of your day grinding it out against 400-500 players, then you bubble! All that time & energy for nothing. Man thats the worst feeling in poker.

How about laptop crashing during a FT, and takes about 30 minutes to figure out whats wrong and get things working again.

My laptop I used to play on for a while before black friday had a very sensitive connection where the power cord connected too. That coupled with the fact that the battery was basically ruined meant I had to carefully rig up the power cord until it would charge the battery just enough to run the computer, and if it moved at all my computer would go dead within seconds. Well my cat is a real character and even though hes spoiled is always starving for attention, would come around and start rubbing up against my computer to get my attention. The worst was when he shut my computer off when I was at a final table in a 20$ MTT where I was short stacked. By the time I got back on 10 minutes later I was blinded out in 9th place. Overall though I'm convinced he's cost me at least a thousand dollars as he used to pick the worst times to come around and mess with me while I was playing.
