dpianomn 0 Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 I was just in a tourney where i was the chip leader--my closest opponent was nearly 2000 below me--and the blinds were 25/50. all of a sudden, my comp froze and i tried frantically for about 20 minutes to get back to the tourney, but with no success. i was really pissed 'cause i had a hammerlock on the thing with no way to finish it! when i finally got back online, my heart sank when the program didn't take me directly to my table. figuring i must have been blinded out, i got a hand history emailed. seems like i took 3rd pretty easily. LOL. it's all good 8) this ever happen to you? Link to post Share on other sites
superchuck 0 Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 it has happened to me, but with the levels rotating every 10 minutes i assume after 30 minutes you would still have many chips left. did u login once u got the program up and running again? and by the way that sucks, coulda taken 2nd or 1st place money Link to post Share on other sites
dpianomn 0 Posted December 14, 2004 Author Share Posted December 14, 2004 i logged in right away, but the tourney had ended. the blinds raise every ten HANDS on this site...and yes, it does suck 'cause i probably could have taken 1st or 2nd, but given the circumstances i was just pleased not to have lost my buy-in!

dpianomn 0 Posted December 14, 2004 Author Share Posted December 14, 2004 that's brutal stein!it JUST happened AGAIN. this time i was able to sign on quickly though and ended up taking second. no disasters (except for missing out on first :wink: )i have a mac, so the only way for me to play is to use virtual pc...and now i realize why i switched to mac in the first place--VPC must be causing the crashes--anyone else have this problem? just started today.

brando 0 Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Not sure which site you use, but www.pokerroom.com is Mac compatible. They have a java version that opens from the website, they also have a downloaded version. It's compatible with linux as well. Link to post Share on other sites

Kendren 1 Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 really? that's cool! i'm gonna check it out tonight. thanks brando! dave.I play exclusively at pokerroom (only cause my comp can't handle a download client) and it's pretty good, I think. They have some server issues at time, but it should be fixed soon, so they say. I like the place, look me up at the low limit sngs Link to post Share on other sites
