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?

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]

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.

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...

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.
