Do you think i can sue my isp over this?
 
I just want someone else point of view.

I was playing High Stakes PL Omaha (with most of my online bankroll on the table, about 12 grand)

Im playing 100/200$ blinds 5 handed.

Okay heres my story, someone raise preflop 600$, 2 callers now it's my turn to act, so i decided just to call with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]10[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], the flop comes A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] someone bets 1,200$, the two other guys fold, now it's my turn, i re raise 3,600$ he takes about 10 or 15 seconds then call me, turn J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] and suddenly my internet connection disconnect (for no reason at all, by the way i've got a DSL connection, to make things clear)

So in a panic moment i try to reconnect as fast and i can, and i get this, "Error 691: The username or the password can't be located on the network"

Now i want to break everything i've got in the room because i can't reconnect and basically im screwed, so i call the ISP instantly (god knows i wasn't in a good mood) and they let me know that they suspended my account by mistake, they were trying to suspend someone else on the network but they ended up suspending me by error!!!

So basically i lost 4,200$ (instead of doubling up my bankroll) over this *$#*(@ stupid internet provider mistake (on top of that i have the logs & screenshots of everything)

What you guys/girls think?

I used to do support for a cable internet company. One day, someone called with connection problems and said he was about to start an MTT for a few hundred dollars. The residential service was "for entertainment purposes only" and so we wouldn't compensate him for the money he lost. I suspect you'll find the same with your ISP.

if the hand never saw a river then you don't even know if you would have won.
He could have had a lower set that caught quads on the river or he could have had a straight-draw.

Any 5 7 8 T Q or K on the river could have made a straight for his 6678 hand or AKQT something.
