This happened once to me awhile ago and i brushed it off as a fluke, but it happened again tonight, and I'm afraid it could be systematically abused. Both time it was in torny play.

Both times I was in the BB facing a raise. Both times I was definately going to fold. After the raise it would get to me and the game would lag. Somehow it would come back and the flop would be showing.

I'd have not lost and chips and the option would be on me. I checked then folded to the bet both times. But what happened if I had hit something? I checked hand history both times and I verified that I hadn't lost chips. Has anyone else ever seen this? People in my room didn't seem to be paying attention.

I have serious doubts if the flop is even determined before the pre-flop action is closed.

Consider what this does for "what if games" because if you had made that call different cards would have been generated...

I'm having a hard time visualizing what you are talking about. Can you explain this again, exactly how it happened?
Also, what were you drinking?

I think what he is saying is that he was facing a raise, he planned on folding but somehow there was a glitch that allowed him to see the flop without calling the raise. Then on the flop he was able to act like he had called the raise.

Exactly. It was like a lagspike.
