LC: Non hypothetical hypothetical
 

You are playing a 4 game set. You lose your connection just as you've finished two of them. You're chip leader on one with 5 left and you're mid stack with 6 left. No one can play for you. You rush to a friends house to use his computer. When you get there you've already lost both tournies. Should you count these two tournies towards your ROI if you keep track?

Re: LC: Non hypothetical hypothetical
 

you lost money on them right? Then yes

edit: I only say that because I personally count everything. I didn't mean for it to sound like I was being a smartass [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Re: LC: Non hypothetical hypothetical
 

Yes. Count everything.

Even though they're not a reflection of skill?

Edit: I should point out I wouldn't count it if I made the money either.

Having an internet connection that works is part of the skill of playing online poker.

Haha, ouch. I blame Ithaca College. But point taken.

Re: LC: Non hypothetical hypothetical
 

I count it... I would also count if I misclick allin or some other crap.

count it, but make a note in your database or whatever you're using to track it. Perhaps you can filter the games that are lost by internet connection issues?

I lost entire sets of 8 in the 22s and 33s this summer while playing during lightning storms like an idiot and I counted them...

Re: LC: Non hypothetical hypothetical
 

Yeh you should. ROI isn't used to track skill (although over a large sample ROI can reflect skill level), but to track your return. In the big grand scheme of things a loss every now and then won't make much of a difference in ROI anyway.
