$165 left at 45person with 1/2k blinds and 8 people left...in the small blind
$2000 left at 8person with 6 people left...4/8 blinds

Out of both on the damn bubble.

That just perfectly represents my last two weeks of poker.

Absofreakinlutely Awful.

*bangs head against wall*

one word id be reapeating in that situation - begins with fuc

The cat was sitting by my feet. I almost kicked her across the room after I threw my keyboard across the room to the couch.

I haven't seen her in 25 minutes.

I'd been running terrible the last two weeks...so I get down to the final 50 or so of a MTT today and get sucked out on...then this happens.

That sucks BAD..... but there is a moral to the story: Have a backup setup in place, so you can be reconnected ASAP.

I figure it pays for itself after needing it once, depending on the stakes you are playing.

I have two UPS', a laptop ready to go if needed, and I can even dial in through my cell phone if my network - and the neighbors - are unreachable for some reason.
