I was wondering if anyone here who plays at Pokerroom.com has ever had an issue like below.
I recently reloaded on the site due to their reload bonus but had a serious problem yesterday during a 2/4NL hand. The long and short of it is - I rivered the nuts, my opponent bet into me, and as I was contemplating how much to raise, my hand was folded, and the pot slid to my opponent! It was the craziest thing I've had happen to me in the 1 1/2 years I've been playing online poker. If it was a tiny pot, I would probably just brush it off, but it wasn't. I was on a wireless network on the time but do not think it was a connection problem because I received no warning that there was a connection problem. Normally you get a "you have been disconnected, attempting to reconnect" message. I received no such message. I emailed support at PokerRoom and was disappointed to receive a form letter back telling me to make sure I have the latest version of IE installed and some Java Update (which I installed when I first started playing at the site). Anyone ever have any issues like this on their site? If so, what was the resolution? Thanks. |

Get on the phone, talking to a live person is always better than email. Hopefully they will ask you to send them the hand history tout suite.

Often when I'm multitabling at PokerRoom I will be unable to access one table until it has timed me out and folded my hand. And of course their support will not compenstate me for that. Not sure if this is what happened to you...

I thought about min-raising my opponent's $50 bet, then decided to make it $125 instead. As I went to type it in, the pot was on it's way toward my opponent. |

As I went to type it in [/ QUOTE ] Some sites have hot keys. Maybe 1, 2, or 5 is the hot key for fold. |

Never had this happen.
1-888-MY-POKER I suggest you call support. But I doubt you'll be compensated. |

I generally avoid those tables, especially when multi-tabling |
