Internet Disconnections...

It's happened before. Three times exactly. A full set is up, and crash. ... thanks comcast. Thanks guy who set up my comcast and said it's the best internet and never goes out (ya right). Dude was full of crap. Not like I believed him though. I've had three huge losses in the past and for all of them I cried to Mommy PokerStars and she reimbursed me. In one set I actually made $11 cause I cashed somehow haha. But today, it went out again. 24 unresponsive games for 10-15 minutes. So what to do? Call a friend and have them take over! Well my phone is connected via internet (ty magicjack) and I'm poor so I have no cell phone. So, um, ya, just me and myself...hangiiiin out. I fiddled with all the modem stuff and got it back. I was either out or half stacked in every game. Then, like it should happen, I kept getting 2 outtered everywhere and it was just mega tilting considering the circumstances. One piece of advice I can offer (that I learned the hard way over a year ago) is to NEVER not raise all in if you are going to play the hand (unless it's a normal tiny raise). Never get cute with non-all-in all ins unless you want it to disconnect you and you lose your stack. When it was all over, I feel very fortunate to walk away -$116. Which, is amazing considering the 24 games is $384. -30% roi, not too shabby.

...off to verizon for backup.
