Default Re: I hate my life

for what its worth. I usually play on hi-speed comcast cable modem. every once in awhile it goes out because they are doing "system maintenance", this happens about once a month without any warning. Usually its only out for a few hours. For this reason I pay 21 bucks a month just to have dial-up AOL on stand by. I barely use the AOL, but its a great insurance measure. Just the other night, as im on the bubble of two $55 sngs, my Comcast went out, I frantically tried to reboot the cable modem, but to no avail, so then I just plugged in the dial-up, and I was up and running. I ended up with a 1st and a 3rd place finish in those sngs. This one time more than pays for the AOL for the whole year. I guess what im trying to say is that if you are a serious poker player, having back up method is very important.
