Makes me want to vomit...
 

So, in , I got disconnected and couldn't get back on from my home network. I had to fire up my laptop and get connected through my cell phone. Poker Stars had to update, of course, so by the time I got back on, I had missed 6 or 7 hands.

Purely for the sake of punishing myself, I grabbed my last 10 HHs, so I could see what I had been folding. Here was the hand that was folded for me just as I got back online.... I missed being able to play this by seconds.

And the AJones guy was in every pot too, so I suspect I could have taken a nice one off of him (maybe even busted him).

Now that's a bad beat.

HOLY CRAP :mad:

Yeah I remember that qjones guy, Q7o is a monster to him.

This kind of situation makes me very happy that pokerstars blocks your hole cards when you are set to sit out of the hand for the entire duration of the HH. I would hate to come back and read that your pockets turned into trip aces and you would have doubled off that guy overplaying his AK.
