Last night, I was in a pretty good position before the break. I was in second place, if I'm not mistaken. But unfortunately, during the break, I had problems with my internet connection, probably due to a power outage. So, I couldn't continue. And after my internet connection returned, it turned out the tournament was over, and I was only in 9th place. Tongue

That sucks. I've been in similar situations in the past. In my previous home, I had a poor internet connection and problems with lagging game. It's really painful to have "nuts" (a hand that guarantees a win), a big pot on the table, and just see you getting timed out due to connection issues.

But if you're doing well in a tournament and expect the internet could be gone for longer than a few minutes, it's good to have a backup option, e.g. launch the game on your mobile phone, with your mobile internet.

I was going to say exactly the same thing after reading his comment, it's absolutely very important to have an alternative internet source at all times as long as you are somebody that works online or participate in some activities online which is very important to you, reason being because there are so many times on internet source will fail due to any reason, could be as a result of bad weather or maybe they company is upgrading/updating some things from their end and so on..

I learnt this one time when my ISP announced that they will be carrying out a 6 hours long maintainance to fix some of the issues with the network which they can't fix without shutting down some systems, yeah, It was in the mid night from 12am to 6am in the morning, but thats the very time I usually come online especially on this forum, I missed the ISP's announcement so I could not prepare for an alternative, that day when I woke up in the mid night to come online, I discovered there was no internet service available, I tried all I could but not to no avail, I thought of contacting my ISP's customer care but still, there was no internet to do so, I was so frustrated that night as there was no means of getting an alternative at such on ungodly hour, by the next day, I made provision for an alternative internet source incase such ever happened again.
