Reminded by a thread in another forum of my worst (most expensive) poker disconnect incident...

I was travelling the world in 2006 and found myself in an internet cafe in Vientienne - capital of the Peoples Republic of Laos (a great and very chilled country BTW!).

Had started a set of 6* $20+2 SNGs on Party Poker in an internet cafe and *poof* down goes the connection. Asked the staff what was the problem and they smiled as they told me this was a common central issue in Laos and it should be back up and running by tomorrow!

Well, not much hope of the bubble still being alive there then... would have been angry but the Lao people are so laid back it is really difficult to get irate there.

So - will open the question... what is your most expensive / worst / or even funniest poker disconnect story??
Cheers, Mark

It doesn't happen much but it is kinda odd how often I have been holding aces when my connectino has gone down. I seriously always seem to have the nuts right when my connection goes down.

I had one disconnect where I was all in vs 1 other player. I don't remember the exact cards, but I remember seeing the flop before getting disconnected. He hit the flop and I was waaaaay behind at that point so I figured I had lost the hand. To my amazement when I was able to connect and log back in I found I had doubled up. They tell me I hit runner runner to take the pot down.
