Bad internet when playing poker annoys me the most, it's something unimaginably bad

In my country there is war, communication and electricity are very unstable. It is difficult to play in such conditions, but sometimes during unexpected power outages or loss of communication, I just use my smartphone. Of course, it is not very convenient, but there are no other options.

Easy money...
Seriously: I think everyone has experienced something similar, probably with a smaller stake. Poker also requires luck... We can call this luck on the winning side. And the loser... These must not have been the best moments of his life.

A common problem. In such cases, I use mobile Internet if possible. In the future, I plan to connect another Internet line from another provider to use it as a backup.

It's a really annoying situation, although it doesn't happen often in my case (at least currently) it can be really useful to have a secondary option ready.

It's a shame if the pot is big, but there was a break in the Internet connection

 

[Aguasay32]

Big big trouble if you are playing.

There is only so much you can do to prepare for an internet outage.

Today I watched the game Spin & Go for 500 dollars. I got a good win in 12500. A player from the UK who knocked out one guy and was the leader with 1000 chips lost the Internet. As a result, after a while he just gave all the chips to the lucky player. Playing with a bet of $ 500 a guy could get a better provider. Sitting to play online poker, make sure of the quality of your internet.

Yesterday my internet went down when I was playing 888, I was head up and I was in second place, I was easily leading! Cheap tournament but Field was big!

Lost connection is terible... It's happened to me in big pots.

The reasons for losing the connection may not only be in the Internet provider - but also in a power outage (somewhere along the way).

Unfortunately that happens to everyone once in a while.The only thing I can do is be patient.

The internet crashes in a poker session is certainly one of the most frustrating things, I've been through this several times and it's something that hurts a lot

 

[wengz2002]

Happens to me quite a few times!
The last one was the ACR Special Freeroll. We're only 3 players left out of 6000+.
I was the chip leader when I got disconnected and was desperate to get back quickly...
I was happy to get in back with 3 min, only to find out that the other 2 players made a deal and the tourny was over! :-(

 

[gravii2011]

It happens. This is life. Suddenly his lights were off at this time, but by the time he sat on his phone, all the chips had been distributed.

 

[Cooking]

It's awful when this type of situation happens, because there isn't much we can do, specially if it's because you got no power. If I was a professional poker player I would definitely have 2 internet providers.

 

[tihomir_kula]

When I play and net fails, I have 2nd and 3th net connection.

 

[bullkk]

Bad internet unsettles me)

 

[nighton]

Yes it's sad happens and even happens light cut in a third world country it's annoying

 

[MARIANARDES2022]

SOMETIMES I WAS OFF JUST IN THE GAME; THE REST WAS GOOD INTERNET, I WAS ABSENT UNTIL I LOST ALMOST ALL THE CHIPS.. THEN I WOULD COME BACK BUT IT WAS TOO LATE..

 

[MARIANARDES2022]

SAVAGANAGE WAS ABSENT AND ONLY CARD AA, OKAY, AND NOT BEING ABLE TO PLAY..

 

[fundiver199]

As OP said 5 years ago, when this thread was made: If you are going to play high stakes games, then make sure, you have a solid internet connection. Or even better have two different independent internet providers, so you can shift to the second one, if the first one goes down. And if you live in an area with unstable electricity, then have your own backup generator as well.

Who is to blame here. In Latvia, we have the best Internet in the world in terms of speed. My speed is up to 1000 Mbps.

 

[RonanPERNA]

This has happened to me several times. Now I have two internet networks here at home, so if one goes down I have the other. The problem is that if the light goes down, then there will be no way.
