Is there anyone who IS able to play? This really sucks, because while I'd like to play because I need to get in my days for Ironman, I'm not going to if this lag is so unbearable.

I'm playing the 5K FTP WSOP satellite right now, and am not lagging. I have never lagged on FTP, though, and have both uber hardware (quad core, 4 GB RAM), and uber ISP (10 MBps cable, rock solid).

Nice computer. I think it's kind of ridiculous that people would need a computer like that to play lag-free though. Unfortunately, the only stat that I can compare in is my internet connection (5Mbps FIOS).

What's worse is... about 30 minutes after I wrote that, I noticed the lag. It must not have been as bad for me, but there was a series of a dozen hands where it was painful, and from then on it was noticeable.

If *I* was experiencing lag, then it 100% wasn't my computer (a "money is no object" system), and as a 20-year network administrator I'd lay long odds it wasn't my network -- not with the other reports of lag going on here.

I'll have to change my vote (like I have one). A rollback is probably called for... and my guess is it is server side, not client side. Here's hoping they roll back the server code overnight. It that necessitates a client-side rollback as well, then it's likely to be an ugly process. Saddenz.
