.05/.10 NL FullTilt (9 handed)

Hero is in the BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
4 limpers

Just before action is to Hero, his DSL connection drops for about 30 seconds.
Connection returns. Hero is out of the hand, and current board is:

Flop:2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
Turn:Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (mostly ignored lots of action)
River is a blank, maybe some big card.

Some donk wins big pot with 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
Hero screams.
Hero reviews FullTilt's disconnect policy.
FullTilt has no disconnect/all-in feature to prevent abuse.
Hero screams more.

How many 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]'s are in that decK? You should probably review their card-dealing policy too...

Seriously, though, that sucks -- I thought all the sites had some sort of all-in protection if you get disconnected. You could always play at Absolute where it waits for about a half an hour if some player gets bumped...

EDIT: Dammit, Wookie! (I lose.)

No kidding. I never played at Absolute until this weekend when I started clearing their 150% bonus. I swear, it feels like an Absolute table moves even slower than live play! I'm also consistently using my "tight table" starting hands for the first time ever. (!)

I'm considering switching to 6 max to get more action and get the rake up (to clear faster)...anybody play .25/50 or .50/1 6 max there?

Don't play full ring at Absolute. The 6 max games are good.

I don't think they're quite as good as party, but there are still plenty of bad players. They are way, way better than full. The 6 max games are typically a few donks with one or two rocks who are hold overs from full ring play. Neither play well short handed. Just be sure to get the rock on your left.

I got disconnected more at FT than any other site. Ever. Table selection sucks there too because there are typically only about 3 or 4 tables playing and everyone plays so tight and scared that any PFR pretty much takes the pot. No way to clear that 100% bonus in 60 days.

I [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Paradise

Paradise Poker 1/2 Hold'em (8 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is SB with K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].

Flop: (7 SB) K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>

<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, CO calls.

Final Pot: 16.12 BB
