To leave computer or not?

Noooo don't fold my aces! Too late.

Once it happened to me, but I was very lucky that I did not have time to play with aces, if I played, then I would lose in this hand. And if you look, they will give you a minute to think, during this time you can go to the toilet, take a bath, open a cold can of beer and smoke) So for me to miss the distribution is the little things in life)

I play mostly online as I don't have a local casino to play live unless I drive several hours. On occasion, I will get up to go to the restroom, get a drink or just grab a stretch. Has anyone else ever walked back to the computer to see yourself timing out to a pocket pair of Kings or Aces or anything playable in general? It seems to happen more often than not to me. I have caught a few before being folded but I wish I could have a few of them back. Only thing worse is losing a nice stack of chips the hand before a break in the tourney with pockets. Am I the only one?????

Either don't go on break during the game or go on short pee breaks. You're investing your time on the game why take the chance on going on prolonged breaks when you can miss out on good cards.

Well, this is 2019/2020, so there is no reason to miss any hand... if you play on a small laptop, just take the thing with you when you go on a pee-break. You will probably have to adjust your peeing-game by learning to sit down when you pee, but that is one solution.

The other solution is to switch to your phone App when going for a pee break.

Problem solved?

Leaving Computer

Sure this has happened to us all so don't sweat it. As others have said try time your breaks with tournament breaks or sit out after you have played the blinds.

As they say things happen for a reason and not being able to play your high pair could have saved you chips and or money as have lost many times with High pairs to flushes , straights or someone hitting trips with a low pair.

Good Luck to you !

It will average out...don't worry about it. Sometimes those AA's, KK's are a pathway to imminent doom whereas the 72 off suit could have turned into a boat. I take whatever time I need to do whatever I need to do and focus on the game when I am able to play it properly.
