They used to do that to me all the time at Paradise, it used to piss me off. In the beginning, I used to wonder, "How come this guy's connection is always so lousy when I have a good hand?" lol Took me a while to figure out. I never had the balls to do it myself, nor the lack of integrity. I guess I'm a fish.

The wiki about on-line gambling:

Footnote 36 links to WTO ruling for Antigua in dispute with US:
"Authorization to retaliate granted on 28 January 2013"

This one big cash cow for the international lawyer cartel.

In the early days of online poker you were declared all-in if you disconnectd. Lots of players used it to their advantage, disconnecting when they doubted their viability in the hand. The sites had to change their disconnect policies because of it.

Who, Rob? There's not that many good progressives online. That's why I said they missed the boat.

The Mega Jacks for 25-cents on Playtech must have a good meter rate because it goes up all the time, in the positive range. Contrast that to Cryptologic, or Intercasino, where I am going by memory, their 8-5 JoB progressive rarely got positive.

It is unfortunate that Real Time Gaming has not offered any progressive video poker. They have such a wide choice of games, but no progressives. That's the software you'll find on Bovada.

In my opinion, a lot of online casino software companies have missed the boat with PROGRESSIVE video poker. They could offer enticing games with decent meter rates

Re: [vpFREE] Online Poker is the U.S.

Typically you get one or two "disconnects" which will place you all-in for
the remainder of the hand. If you continue to disconnect after that, your
hand is folded.

Re: [vpFREE] Online Poker is the U.S.

 

The IRS is an arm of the Treasury Department, and a very long and broken arm at that.
I do have a question for those experienced at on-line gaming. If you are in the middle of a hand and your computer crashes or your internet service gets interrupted do you forfeit your hand and whatever you have in the pot?
 
Thanks
