A Situation - What do you think?

[equinoxx]

Hi all, I was just in a satellite feeder at Paddy Power Poker and had a healthy lead all the way through the game. It ended up with me with about 2,000 chips and the other guy had the remaining load (was a nine seater tourney). Anyway, I was given two 6's as my hole cards and in the flop there was another six. The guy betted and I was about to raise and then the server was lost. I ended up returning to the game once service was restored and was unable to win. I know I was not looking at winning although the three of a kind was sure to have helped me at that stage of the game. I contacted the people at Paddy Power via email and explained the situation and asked for either a refund or a chance to enter another satellite and they responded by saying this.. Firstly I would like to apologize for the problems you have experienced >tonight. Due to a technical problem the entire network went down for two >minutes. This means that although you lost connection, so did all of >your competitors. As all players lost connection you will not have been >placed at a disadvantage. >However, if you would like us to investigate your particular case >further could you please provide us with either your Paddy Power account >username or your Poker Screen Name. > >If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact us. I replied to them saying I would definitely like them to investigate this particular case seeing as I had three of a kind and technically I was at more of a disadvantage as I couldn't play the three of a kind that I had. W What are our thoughts on this situation?

Re: A Situation - What do you think? > As all players lost connection you will not have been >placed at a disadvantage. That's nonsense, of course. But these things happen, and it's not clear what they could do to be fair to people in your position. I think you just have to accept it as another bad beat. Unlucky.
