Default Having to leave your computer when Multi-tabling

So I just want to rant a little and ask everyone if this has happened to them in any degree.

Saturday, I opened up 4 $10+1 SnG's at Party like I often do and started playing. By the beginning of the 3rd level, I was chip leader in 2 of my tables and had about the starting amount of chips on the other 2, so I was doing pretty good. Just then, my girlfriend called me and the first thing out of her mouth was "What are you doing right now?"... I said "Playing some Poker online"... then she proceeded to say that she was freaking out because she couldn't find her tax forms and was worried that someone had stolen them... and that if someone stole them, they had her SS# and all her info. She was pretty hysterical, so I put my SnG's in "away" mode and took a hit for $44.

Bah! I got back an hour later after finding her tax forms stuck behind a drawer in her dresser, and found that I luckily made 3rd place in on of the SnGs.

Don't you just hate it when you HAVE to get up from multitabling.. GOD!

Maybe I'm an arseh*le, but you won't get me leavin my tables unless the room is on fire. It's no different than as if I was in a business meeting. If it can wait, then it waits.

I believe your post is better suited to the thread titled "Interesting Proposition " [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

"I need your help dealing with Wifey"

I am sorry, I only deal with women. No exceptions. Besides, you need to be playing at least $109s before she can afford me [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Last night ny DSL connection went down while I had 2 10+1's going. One was at the 200 level and I was in third, stacks were something like 4000/1700/1500/800. One was at the 50 level with something like 8 left, and I had 800.

When I got back a few minutes later I had come in second on the one, and had 500 with six players left on the other. Not so bad.

In any event, you did what you had to do. GF>$44.

I hate that. Yesterday my cable went down after I had signed up for Prima's WSOP Level 4 sit 'n go ($100+10). It came back up right before the game started... whew!
