When Disconnected

[rosco]

Playing Stan James Last night

$1000 for first place

With about 60 players left the server crashes everyone panic’s and disconnects; at this point I am not in a comfortable position with 13000 chips.

I just sat there and found I was the only person connected. As this was a freeroll I continued to raise and pickup the blinds.

20 minutes later I get moved table and started getting abused by people saying I was cheating. I happen to be sitting there with 130,000 chips. a few other guys obviously did the same as me.

Ended up 6^th after 3 bad beats in a row.

They were calling me all names under the sun, think they were just bitter, one guy stayed just to abuse people. but would they have done differently??? in my defence, my broadband had gone down earltier and no-body stopped for me. Would anyone else have done anything differently?

Re: When Disconnected Mate, I've done the same many times.... If you're the only one at the table who's connected what are you supposed to do - fold? Nope, I agree totally with you, I would ahve done the same thing. In the KoP there were regularly times when I was the only one connected at the table and I just took the blinds until I was moved. It sounds like they were just bitter that they weren't as lucky as you - good luck to ya and don't let them bother you or stop you from taking the blinds in future.
