    Default No Content-Monkey Tilt

    So my first set of the day starts out great.
    I made it to the bubble on all 6.
    Than whammmm disconnect for like 5 minutes.
    Connection comes back. Still alive , bust on two of them with the best hand (not unusual but worth a mention) ,
    Get 3rd on two more by way of river hitting flushes (vs trips and 2 pair). and 3rd on another all in pf with something , not the best hand but have no clue what.
    Now this isn't the bad beats forum , but the hand im gonna post is not a bad beat , i just wanted to introduce it with how the set of sng's started.
    Now im HU vs a very horrible player , i've disconnected like 5 times already , but when i was able to play i had gotten a lot of chips off him by way of pushing (he completing like every time at 300/600 than would fold).
    Than this wonderful hand comes up.

    Your right. That's really the only answer.
    I have broadband connection , but it's shared with family members who do who knows what on their computer all day , and we just recently downgraded the connection. I'm going to call the company tomorrow and have them boost it back up to 6megs or whatever it was.
    I have not had connection problems for months until yesterday it started up again.
    That and i need to switch back to WindowsXP because i already hate VISTA.

    Why didnt you just shove as opposed to raising to 4k in the posted hand?
    Also, nasty break even stretch on your sharkscope graph. I feel your pain and gl pulling out of it.

    I meant to push but was acting like a frantic 13 year old girl because of all the disconnects so i just clicked a crap load of times on the raise button but OF COURSE missed one click (the extra 450).
    Yeah my sharkscope is nasty the past 500 games. It's a little off (like $50 due to disconnects that stars refunded) but yeah if i hadn't had this problem today with my connection i think i would have had a pretty nice/profitable set.
    Thanks for the support , and hopefully i CAN get out of it here soon before it drives me batshit. I've been so close to start adding $16s (wanna add 1 or 2 at a time) to my sets but still can't get there.

    You going to start adding $16s in?

    I was thinking about doing this at the turbos, and experimented with it at the 6max regs, but found that i would become dispondent if i had busted out of two $13s and left with four 6.60s. As a result i tended to care less about the 6.50s.
    Be interesting to see how u get on/how others have got on doing this type of stuff.
