This is absoloutly ridicilous. If anyone can argue as how this is at all benificial to any party but then the rake I would love to hear it.

Im not asking anyone to feel any sympathy for me,I just want to express my feelings against something that should be addressed.

I urge you to e-mail pokerstars so they can change this behaviour. I think a logical decision would be to check the hand that ran out of time.

i love it. all the people that cant handle playing 3091580293 tables wont anymore because they will time out and have to fold their hands. will keep the games going faster, and ill get in more hands per hour. i think its great. also a lot of hte multitablers will cut down tables, and since they are usually better, thats also good. holla

[aejones]

i play 8 tables and i can keep up with [censored]. mfers that play like 12 tables or are just slow on 8 piss me off, i can't stand having 8 open and still having every single 20-15 type stall out and time out time after time wtf.

also, i have no idea what this post is about other than you didn't act in time? i dont' get it.

[CASINOCASINO]

What do you mean you dont get it. It has nothing to do that i didnt act in time but rather the penalty for not acting enough in time. Why must my hand be folded rather then checked. I took all my time bank to think in a previous hand, and in this scenrio my hand just folded after 15 seconds. This shouldent be a disccusion weather i should be able to act in 15 seconds or not.

I agree with this. There is no worse feeling that having a dominating hand folded due to a poor internet connection. I have the best internet in my area, but still it is not perfect all the time. (and I don't play very many tables)

I'm also still pissed about my QJ hand where I got c/r all in on a 10 A K board and had to fold because my internet f/cked up.

this can be said about playing in a casino when the dealer screws up and you miss your only out that the dealer has to reshuffle into the deck.. theyre good most of the time but sometimes it happens.

too bad all of our BR's arent as massive as EM2, then we could just not care [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

i fold sometimes

[selurah]

I like it also. If you can't multi-table efficiently then you shouldn't do it.
