Depends on the blinds. If they're really low then you probably can see some flops from late position.

Still probably better to watch other players adjust poorly and go crazy.

ya stuck at 10/20 for over 30 minutes now...

You have two choices.

1) Play very aggressively and then email support if you get knocked out to say that the game was stuck and it was a waste of your money.

2) Play very passively and wait for it to crash, at which point you'll get a share of all those who were eliminated as well as a refund.

this happen often?

Now they've announced the restart, it is critical you don't get eliminated.

Happens maybe three times every two months.

To be honest this is a dream, you worst result is almost always a refund.

They have two different methods depending on how they rule it.

One is cancelled, one is something like 'abandoned' (Though that's not correct).

There are different rulings for each, one entails everyone getting a refund, the other entails everyone still in at the time the problem began getting a share of the money of those eliminated in proportion to chips (and some other rules that I'm too lazy to look up until you get the first email).

Whatever happens, follow through with it, don't be rude but ask for money based on whatever is best for you without going over the top.

Stars are pretty good in these situations. You're over 50-50 to get a fair resolution straight away and almost 100% to get a fair resolution after 2 emails.
