XXEddie 0 Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 So i was playing a $21 4 player Heads Up sit and go earlier and i was in the final match. Now, my connection had been shotty all day....and by the time i got to the final I had to restart my computer several times during the match to re-gain connection. Now each time(about 4 or 5 during the final match) i had to restart I came back to the match at the SAME POINT IN THE GAME. Which means each time my opponent had to wait for me to come back instead of being able to take my blinds. By the time I won the final match the blinds were 150/300. At some points he had a 2-1 lead so he could of easily blinded me out to the win several times. So here is my question. Why does stars give players so much time to reconnect if you get disconnected??? I understand a minute or two but they gave me over 5. I apoligized to him since it was bullshit. I was concidering sending his buyin back but i figured if I was in his spot, i most likely wouldnt be sent anything either.I felt really bad especially considering this beat which was pretty sickPokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t300 (2 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FCP)BB (t4300)Hero (t1700)Preflop: Hero is Button with A , J .

rogerwilco 0 Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 So here is my question. Why does stars give players so much time to reconnect if you get disconnected??? I understand a minute or two but they gave me over 5. I apoligized to him since it was bullshit. I was concidering sending his buyin back but i figured if I was in his spot, i most likely wouldnt be sent anything either.I was in this situation on the other side once at the end of an s&g - and it really takes forever. Disconnection headsup sucks for both players. First the time bank runs out, then Pokerstars gives you 90 seconds to return, and then another couple minutes or so, and finally delays the game for 30 seconds after every single hand. This is very, very annoying.Sending the buyin back is ridiculous though, it's not your fault and getting disconnected can happen to anyone. Link to post Share on other sites
Jam-Fly 8 Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 I would really respect you alot if you sent the buy in back.Oh yeah, nice brag postWhatta u guys think Link to post Share on other sites
Mercury69 3 Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 It seems like an extra long time, but that may be only for the HU games. In MTT's, the timeout is 1 minutes, I think. Link to post Share on other sites

rogerwilco 0 Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 It seems like an extra long time, but that may be only for the HU games. In MTT's, the timeout is 1 minutes, I think.No, not when there are only two players left. Link to post Share on other sites
