I can't imagine it get any better than this. It's just lovely to look at. 
I have no idea what happened or why it happened. All I know is Someone screwed me!

| I had exactly the same the other night, first hand on a cash table, it did however allow me to bet on the flop before disconnecting, losing me even more cash. |

In my imagination, I see 2 guys in a control room at Poker Stars Central.
A-Hole: "Hey, is it time to check up on Humphrind? Make sure he's being properly screwed?
Jerk-wad: "Yea, Ill just look in to see what's going on.
Jerk-wad: "Holy Crap, he's got Aces! How did that happen, I thought we turned that off?"
A-Hole: "The boss told us to turn his pocket Aces off! Crap, we gotta do something!"
(A lot of running around the control room, waving hands above their heads and incoherant jabber)
Jerk-wad: "Disconnect him! Disconnect him! Quick, before he can play them."
A-Hole: "Whew, just in time. The boss would have killed us."
I like to think that this actually happened and it's not just me dreaming. |

this is pretty close - it's actually flying monkeys in the control room.

Ves Man mentions this happening to him on PokerRoom. Well, that's where its happened to me also. Twice now Ive had the winning hand, tried to raise someone's bet on the river and it folded me. If there's some kind of premium service PR offers so that they'll lock-up and fold someone if they have you beat for a large pot, I wish they'd let me know so I could sign up for it.  |
