In Venezuela, each online poker session is a double bet: one against the opponents and the other against the light. Yesterday I was in the bubble and boom! My power went out. I don't know if it was more foolish to lose my hand or imagine that I could have won. Does anyone else play with this kind of “external variance”? Sometimes I feel that surviving here is part of mental training.

I’ve been through a period when my internet was really unstable — I know how stressful it is to go through something like that. I’m sorry you’re dealing with it.

Don't worry, it's really frustrating but it happens so often that one gets used to it with pain in the soul but well you understand that it wasn't for you haha no, it's really frustrating but what can be done, we haven't earned enough to buy a power plant haha
