Ok I am not expecting sympathy but I hope typing it will take some off the tilt off.
I decided to learn to play 18-24 tables (mostly for turbo multi-table SnG purposes), so I spent a part of yesterday and like most of today setting up AHK and things and practicing microstakes (both sng-s and some micro FR cash games) so I get used to the interface. Now when I finally felt somewhat comfortable I launched approx. $200 worth of SnGs on 18 tables ($6.5 and $12 18/45/180, bit below my usual buyin range which is $12-$36) and after like 10 minutes of break some freakin' snow storm starts going on outside and my internet dies approx. every 2 minutes, and even when it is ok I get insaaaane lag (which I really didnt expect because this hasnt happened in like half a year, I wouldn't play if I didnt expect my connection to work like 100% of the time). So I was sitting out most of the time and the rest of the time StarsHotkeys was busy clicking "I am back" for me which just made it totally unplayable. Pretty much blinded out in 12-13 of these tourneys got 2 bad beats in the remaining ones and cashed twice resulting in -$140.
It is not that this amount of $ loss is going to hurt me bad it is just so freakin annoying to lose money like that it is beyond words. I haven't been on tilt like that for like months.
Thanks for listening.
p.s.: Find an effective way to beat up a snow storm with a stick. Or beat up the guy who is responsible for it and i will send moniez to your Stars account.
