Player is disconnected. 240 seconds added??? At Stars.
At the 0.50/1.00 NL tables at Stars, when a player disconnects, the software gives him 240 seconds to reconnect.
It's the first time I notice this and it seems a litle exagerated. They make everybody wait 4 minutes?

Pot size, the larger the pot, the more seconds will be allowed for the user to re-connect. 2. On a few occasions, when a number of pokerstars players have been disconnected simultaneously they will add a large number of seconds for players to reconnect.

The larger the pot (in terms of big blinds), the more time is allowed for a disconnected player to return. This is to compensate for the lack of all-in disconnect protection in these games. If 4 minutes were granted, then this must have been a pretty hefty relative pot -- 4 minutes is the max that will be granted. Jester
