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.

He lost a lot in equity though. Def sue them.

You have no idea how much equity he lost. For all the OP knows, the disconnect could have saved him the rest of his bankroll.

In the example you just gave, he lost a lot in equity.

[SoCalRugger]

In that example, it's a coin-flip for his bankroll. When the OP says "So basically i lost 4,200$ (instead of doubling up my bankroll)", he seems to be under the impression that he was 100% guaranteed to win the hand and double his bankroll.

He already had money in the pot, so, like I said, he lost a lot of money in equity in that example.

You initiate a lawsuit in Canada, if you lose, you pay THEIR attorney fees as well (unlike in the U.S.).

Also, your ISP contract probably had a clause against liabilities from disruption of service.

why ask us? Check the terms and conditions you agreed to when you signed up with the ISP. Typically there will be a clause stating that the ISP will refund without quibble any equity you lose due to being disconnected in a hand of online poker. Just bring that to the attention of their customer service manager, and you won't need to sue. In fact the cheque is probably already in the mail.

Why are you asking people on here? You know they are just gonna laugh at you and make fun of you.

The correct thing to do since you are located in Canada is to take legal action against your ISP. First though you need to have some sort of documention of the robbery/loss that happen. I would suggest contacting your local authorities and have them come to your house, take photos of the scene of the crime, and possibly dust for prints for evidence. Once they have done this and you have the correct police reports filed next seek out an attorney who specializes in ISP robberies and disconnection protection or lack of. Once you get to this point it is smooth sailing. Pay any retainer that is necessary and sue your ISP. At worst cause you should at least recover like tree fiddy or more!
