what do you think is the best game to play with a laptop and some small disconnections because of wireless connection? (I'll be in a dorm so no chance of upgrades)

FR cash

Yep if you have to play on bad connection. 1 table cash. Or better yet don't play.

Why would anyone play with real money with the chance of losing connection?

Meh I play on ****ty wireless and get disconnected all the time, I probably lose more equity x2 that the household internet is even worth but whatever.

I play on the road a lot, and run into the occasional crappy connection. It's rarer and rarer that it presents a problem that actually costs me money. Most disconnections due to poor wireless are short enough in duration that it's just annoying rather than costly.

play DP tables at least.

I've never heard of anyone having a connection that has a 0% chance of dropping out at all times. So you are essentially saying that nobody should ever play for real money. Interesting argument.

Best place to play are tables im seated at

the connection is not terrible btw. I'm just expecting small disconnections which could be costly at the late stages of 12-tabling sng sets.

i have a backup connection, my primary connection hasn't gone out besides power outage in over a year (and i don't play during t storms)

but yes his statement was stupid

same here..

even I have decent ADSL when I see or hear storm or some dark cloud **** is coming I finished my games and chil out..bad expirience..

Great, besides reading your opponents and the board you got to read the weather too. you guys should create your own forum 'I decided to go all-in because I thought there was a 25% chance of rain'

this should be funny I guess...

I just buy few anti-cloud granates so I can enjoy my game..

Limit obv.

I play on a wireless laptop and have been for years. I do not have any fewer disconnects via wireless than any other connection.

I do take some precautions. I have a backup power supply (APC) on my wireless modem and on my cable modem. If power goes out in my area during thunderstorm (happens) my cable modem, router and laptop running on battery doesn't miss a beat.

I have played zillion S&G's at coffee shops on their free wireless connections and ran into problems once when so many customers were online at a popular coffee shop in Nashville their router's connection limits (usually 50 users max) were getting reached and users were getting thrown off, but then reconnected. Ironically I was playing 3 $10 double-ups at the time and although I was having a heart attack I managed to finish and win all three.

I don't sweat it. I like going to the can anytime I want, fixing a sandwich in a long MMT, whatever. Be heartbreaking to lose a big one over wireless, but I have never had that happen.

If I was playing HUGE stakes maybe I would sweat it more, but I have more than one laptop and if I am concerned about connections I just keep another one online ready to log in to PS or FT.

play the game you lose most at. If you connection cuts out, you save money. Simples.

Depends on how much money you have. If I were you I would consider getting a Wifi Internet access card. I have had one for a while now and it serves as a great backup when needed. Never had a problem with it. But it is expensive monthly.

If you have a palm smartphone you can connect it to the internet and use it as a modem.
I have a treo750 im sure other phones may have this option and it just uses your phones 3g internet but I wouldn't reccomend doing this unless your plan has unlimited data.

you live in the dorm before? just asking cuz I used to live on a dorm and we had a sick gigabit connection. I was getting download speeds of 8mb/s and upload speeds of 5mb/s
