A different situation for me for sure,.. but just a comment re:Fulltilt and one night last month when my internet connection went down for over 3hrs.
I had made plans for a couple days to enter into 3 different Mtt's at the same time, one's I'd done well in previously.
So.. I'm all pumped up, just ate, have the coffee on and have optimistically set some sandwiches aside (have done the bowl of cereal thing too many times). Less than 10mins. into to all three, I get disconnected. I try to log in.. no luck. I phone a friend,.. his is down too. I call up my internet provider,.. (24-7 service),.. no answer,.. not even an answering voicemail putting me on hold??
Okay,.. so I realize that this is my fault (or my internet provider's). I decide to email Fulltilt support the following day, a bit of whining but with absolutely no expectations attached. I also asked them, "Hey,.. what if this was a $100 buy-in?" (it wasn't...lol).
They actually re-imbursed my account with all three buy-ins!!
I wasn't as fortunate on PokerStars one day. My connection went down while on a cash table,.. didn't go back on for an hour and a half and when I checked out my hand histories, I missed it by 22mins. I had blinded out on a cash table,.. grrrr..... Now that sucked!! I never take more than 3% of my bankroll onto a table, so wasn't so bad really... but still,... I could've at least put it allin on a coinflip, lol.
