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!

I had an account on here in the past, don't think because i made a new one that i didn't expect anyone to make fun of me, i know how the internet works guys, i just wanted someone else point of view like i said, and by the way no i can't say for sure that i would have won the hand, but id rather lose 12 grand because someone outdraw me than losing the money due to a stupid ISP mistake.

Anyway thanks for the quick replies.

They will refund the time you were disconnected, or the value of one day perhaps, a couple of bucks. They provide you with a service, and you can be refunded for the lack thereof. What you are doing online, poker, stockmarket, online auction, etc. is irrelevent.

As for the poker---I don't play that high, but a friend of mine who does has a laptop on standby through a different connection. He leaves the site up with the login info ready to go for just such occasions.

This is good advice. I used to do this when I played sit&gos. Easily worth the cost especially if you're playing this high.

You can't sue them. Well you can but you'll lose. Every ISP has a clause in their TOS that states something to this effect "We are not responsible for any consequential damages, acts of god, or anything of the like regardless if this causes the user financial harm"
