    Default Mysterious Money

    I was playing in a $3 turbo tourney $250 garunteed, with only 34 players in (else i wouldnt have gotton in).... about half way through the tournament, i was 4th in chips, when my internet died out... and it didnt come on again so i went to bed. This morning when i woke up, i had $30 added to my poker account...

    Anybody think this is an error, should i just take the money and run, or do you think people were actually stupid enough to NOT suck me out of my chips (only top 6 got money, therefore i must have been 5th or 6th)

    request the history to see what happened. it's entirely possible the site's server went down and everyone auto-blinded, finishing right where they were when you got plonked

    Never underestimate the stupidity of the population at large.

    Get some hand histories and find out.

    Wastin' away again in margaritaville....
    Here is one case where an early big stack won.... so everyone gamble up and hope the server crashes.

    no I think the server crashed and/or your interenet did die as well. I have seen it where my cable modem will go down or even the server will go down but my internet is still up.

    .... then i had a huge string of bad cards and worse beats... it got so bad, i acted like i was on my last buy-in, and somebody actually gave me enough for a buy-in after 3 straight 1-out beats (Jack of hearts [i watched a royal flush beat my house], the last 2 for 4 of a kind, and JJ catching a J when i had JQ on a Q x x x flop) he gave me $50 for my buyin, thats how bad my beats were haha! so on the whole i only blew about $30 (won a little with that buyin then left)
