You're a Bunch of Factors

does anyone else think it is unfair if you get disconnected that it shows in your monies box .there for letting others know that they can raise & steal your chips

lost but not forgotten

Lol, yes. That's why people are told that you're d/c, so they can steal your chips.

last night final table all but 2 players were disconected .
by the time players got back on 2 players had most of the chips 1 player had lost 100,000 chips alone
if you think that is fair or not stealing chips i don,t know what is
the game should of been stopped until those players got back online
my thoughts

Let's say the power is out in their area for 24 hours

How long to you suggest you wait?

That is the worst logic ever.

maybe they could have all sat out for a while until those players came back in.

but as dave said, there is no way to know whether a person will be disconnected for a minute or an hour.

and lets face it, its a freeroll afterall.

it was not power failer. pacific poker went down twice ,could not even access this site on the net
players were from different areas around melb
and so what if its free poker . If you were in a cash game would you of been happy , i don,t think so
its a freeroll but its worth points which @ this time meen a lot more to some people

Thing is, if you can't access the Pacifc Poker site, it doesn't mean it's down.
It could be an Australian issue, or an exchange issue etc.

If there were still people connected and playing, then I would have to say Pacific Poker wasn't down. Your connection to it was. If it was down, no one could access it.

LOL.

In Broome, i got disconnected three times one night. All through power blackouts. Both times were in the Challenge events as well.

It sucks, but there is no real recourse. It comes down to assumed risk of playing on a power using device, or not having a backup internet source such as wireless dongle.

Remember Garth was playing one night, and someone disconnected on the final table when it was only 3 players. The other player got knocked out by Garth, and was asking him to split some prize money because the disconnected player wasn't back. He took the risk by trying to double up, so why should he get extra dollars for a player that wasn't there.

Hard but fair rule.

THX BRETT

was just an idea or thought or something.just i think it might be better if it didn,t show disconected in game money box
because we being human we do take advantage, even if its unfair sometimes
