Can You loose money due a slow connection?

Of course, the answer is "YES"!

As we know [or don't], UB gives us 2 all-in protections per day. Yesterday I had worst connection imaginable and my two protections was gone in first five minutes. I struggled and struggled about one and a half an hour. That was a complete disaster.

Over the course of about very few hands I managed to climb a bit, but in two pretty big hands and got disconnected again The biggest dissapointment was while slowplaying full house of Kings against calling station. Guess what! Disconnected on the river!

So, lost for about 7 bucks overall that session and turned off computer being -1$ for the day.

Tip: If You think, that 7 bucks isn't much, think different: it's almost 1/3 of buy-in. So, if You play 5/10$ stakes, for example, its 300$ down the tubes. Isn't that nice! DON'T PLAY, WHEN YOU HAVE CONNECTION PROBLEMS!

UPDATE: Today managed to play some 30 hands during lunch brake - same shit. Call to a provider cleared things up - have to wait 24 hours.

If your connection is that bad you should never play with out an all in protection. Just play on another site for a day is what i do. Or if i can handle it, not at all.
