Do you mean to lose your connection? 🤔
I think that I didn't miss any important game.
Once I was running deep in a MicroMillion game, my pc broke down, and I had to end the game in my tablet. But it had low battery, so I have to play near the plug-socket

For some reason, sometimes losing my life makes me miss good games. And when the network came back, I was angry - why did I lose my life at the moment, I should have been able to add some pretty big chips if I didn't lose the network.
Perhaps you mean the loss of connection?
I also often have interruptions with the Internet connection. All because of russian missile attacks on our peaceful cities. Sometimes the lights are turned off and we sit for hours without electricity or communication. But despite everything, I am optimistic and you should not give up either. Optimists achieve their goals faster :)

Yes, I already had lost tournaments because I was out of internet connection, but never an important tournament or in the middle of an important hand on cash games. I'll definitely would be very angry if this happens one day, hope this never happens.

If I lost my life, I would miss all the games :LOL:
But if I lose my WiFi connection, I switch to mobile transmission on my phone and share it to my PC ;)
The perversity of inanimate objects...

I had a terrible incident. I lost my internet connection during Sunday's $109 buy-in PokerStras tournament. At that time, my smartphone was not suitable for the game and I was very angry about it. And imagine what happened the next day. I received a message in the pokerstars lobby that this tournament was canceled due to technical reasons and the money was returned to my account :)

I have all the applications on several devices so that this doesn't happen to me, and if I lose the internet at home, I use the internet on my cell phone. I try to be cautious in that sense.

Yes. Sometimes, when I play on the bus, I have connection problems. That situation where you put half your stack in a hand and the villain calls and then you lose connection and can't respond in time so you lose the hand by W.O. This is horrible. Currently, when I play on the bus, I only enter freerolls and play AIOF.

I wish it had been just one time
It happened to me several times and I suppose it will happen to me several more times.

Yes, I lost tournaments many times because my internet connection and electricity went out. It was especially common at the beginning of the war when Russian missiles destroyed power plants. My electricity and internet were cut off regularly every four hours. And my friends who don't live in the city and in the countryside had no electricity or internet for several days in a row.

Many times. Ofcourse . Some other times I lost connection , then I lost my patience after some times to reconnect , do I shoved ATC and went to leep . In ACR many disconnects are made deliberately , I find it very logical that they are still a not regulated site , their scum methods cannot be tolerated .

I have lost internet connection many times, It is not so much of a problem when playing Freerolls, but when I buy-in to a game any money I have used to be lost by no mistake of my own, really stinks! That is why I do not Buy-in for huge amounts when playing On-line Poker. I simply do not trust the connection.
At least in a casino I can Pick up my chips and Leave if the power should go out, or at worse get my money back for the buy-in. although that has never happened to me in any Casino I have played in.
Once playing a freeroll On-line I was called away from my computer before the game started and I was gone for several hours, but when I returned I found I had actually made the Money without playing a single hand, Not a lot, but Free Money all the same, My only explanation for it is I must have won several all-ins during the game when I was low on chips and managed to double up by players trying to take me out, This of course would never happen in a Cash Game or a Buy-in Tournament, So maybe there are Poker Gods out there :):)

I hate when my internet goes down, more if I was raising bets. Anyways, when it happens I activate my mobile 4g in hostpot mode and continue playing, I usually see me previous hands to know what cards I lost

PS froze up just at a crucial moment when I had AA and was going all in, but PS was frozen and I was near the bubble. By the time I shut down and rebooted, I was out. No money.

One of the many reasons why you should always stuck to your bankroll limits.
If it's a very big tournament which you made it through sattelite, make sure you are able to play on that date and also have a second-device which can overcome on such an unexpected situation, like yours...
