Bodog 50NL

Pick up T8o in the BB. Flop is TT4 with 2 spades.

Bet pot. One caller.

Turn is a beautiful 8. Bet pot again, guy calls again.

River is a lovely 5s. Go to bet.

Bodog freezes up. I hear the sound of my connection dropping off IRC (doot doot doot doot). About ten seconds later I hear the sound again. Connection back.

Bodog starts animating again.

What do I see?

I see my pot shipping to the other player.

That's right, according to bodog, I wasn't disconnected, so I dont' deserve disconnection protection. Even though I had no opportunity to bet or act at all, and I was FIRST TO ACT, it autofolded me. Not check-fold me if he bet, autofold.

That right there is "Losing with the Nuts" 101.

The turn was obviously the 8 /images/graemlins/spade.gif.

Villian had 6 /images/graemlins/spade.gif 7 /images/graemlins/spade.gif

The disconnect just saved you money. You should thank it.
