Make it to final 11 at $215 Sunday Millions - then sitout ?

[mstram]

$215 Sunday Million running now on Stars.

gourmetkung is sitting out with 11 players remaining

25K antes, 125K/250K blinds

He has (had) ~2M stack.

Think he fell asleep / passed out after ~10 hrs of playing ?

Satisfied with $7K .. and sick of playing ???

 

[mstram]

Hmm .. maybe failed internet connection ?
If so mega bummer !

But falling asleep would be a much "funnier" / sad story

 

[bsam]

Wow if it was a disconnect i dont which would be worse that or falling asleep. Either way he can't be happy.

 

[mstram]

Another thing, maybe a hard drive / computer crash.

If so, would seem he had no backup, wonder if other high stakes players do.

I was playing in stars one day when the US was allowed in a 10k gtd 1$ buyin .Were at the final table with 7 left as mentioned above I had a stack with about 2 mill.A storm rolls in and knocks the power out to the neighborhood and dosn't come back on for 45 minutes Seems like it took the computer forever to boot back up and when I finally get stars back up I'm allin in the big blind and have a 7-3 offsuit. I go out with 6 people left.I'm sure I not the only one this has happened to but I can imagine that the Sunday mill would hurt much worse than a measly 10k game lol.

 

[mstram]

@trekmaster Yikes, my condolences !

Heh, maybe his "computer crash" was "arranged" by one of his opponents

I got nowhere as far as gourmetkung did in my $11 tourney today, no computer or sleep excuses

 

[misko]

Hi probably had a problem whit the connection or computer crash...

 

[rytciaq]

That's why you need a smartphone for a safe tournament life with the App.

 

[ccocco]

nooo ... how you will reach final table and go to sleep! sure you connect failed Internet .. final table should go for first place ..

 

[sam1chips]

Lol that's pretty unfortunate

 

[guutox]

sure was internet connection

 

[donkysnake]

if that its the internet problem, hes probably now demanding about 100k from the internet company, i would :d

 

[trolaAa]

probably internet connection ...dont want to think what i would do if my connection die at the final table...

 

[sepo]

obvius , internet connect, but not is a bad tactic. hahaha

 

[WeenieSVK]

lol If I would lost internet connection in this situation, I would run to my neighbours to login Actually It woudnt be that bad, cause I have family for neighbours

 

[fordman427]

Internet disconnection would be a sad situation but if he fell asleep I would just have to laugh

 

[mstram]

Lol, I sorta know (1/1,000,000) how he (might) have felt.

Just playing a $0.02 sng now, and my connection barfed when I had KK, auto-folded

In another forum, someone mentioned I could have hovered my mouse over his icon to check his connection, I never thought of that.

 

[Zero2Hero]

What place did he finish?

 

[joe777]

Probably he is having an internet connection problem or maybe he just fell asleep in front of the computer.Anything can happen after 10 hours of continuous playing.

 

[Staneff]

If I play 10 hours poker I wont pass out, I`ll pass away!!

 

[LgBassMan]

I know that a lot of online players who play for a living/seriously have safeties in place for occurrences like this. Most of them have a backup power supply connected directly to their computer that's good for 1-3 hours if power is out. I also know that a lot of them will have dual internet connections in their homes with programs that switch over to the backup after a fail within a few seconds. Some even have 3 backups; 2 hard wires and a mobile Internet stick if power gets knocked out.

That is a big disaster for MTT like this, don't know if he is a chip leader or not.
if he is, that will make him unhappy for quite a while.

I have seen similar play many times, although in lesser tournaments.

Sometimes it could be connection trouble but often they are scared of doing something daft and so sit-out to prevent themselves from doing so, only popping back in with monsters e.g. AA or KK.

Still, from memory, 2Mill is very short stacked to be doing that in the Sunday Million.
