Default OT: Most $$$ you have lost due to power/internet going out

Just curious to see. I am fortunate enough to not have any significant outages since I moved up to the 55s-109s. The most I have lost was back when I was 4 tabling 22s. Don't think I placed in any of the 4, so it was an $88 loss.

If the same were to happen now while 9 tabling, I would certainly at least go to a neighbor's house, unless of course, the power was out for the entire area or I was playing at my usual time (Early moring long before most people are up).

The most I have lost is 4 tabling the 22s as well. Whenever I move up to 109s or above I def plan on having an hour battery backup for the computer and my cell phone can connect to the computer as well so thats my backup. The thought of losing $800 or more to an internet outage makes me want to vomit.

Also 4 Tabling 22s, for the entire last september/august our internet connection sucked and I probably lost over 500$ in 22$sng value(at least 6-7 sets down the drain, maybe more). I live in student housing, so there's no alternative either...all is well now though.

Exchange phone #s with someone who is better at sngs than you are. Then you can call and have them finish up for you if your power goes out, or maybe if you're just playing like [censored].

exchanging phone numbers should be a standard thing for most serious multitablers. It is the kind of thing that can really save you ass when your internet/power goes out on the bubble.
