I'm Not Sitting Out at PokerStars - I'm Disconnected



I'm going to use a ten dollar word first before I go into full potty mouth mode. Bavardage. Trash.

Apparently PokerStars is the only Internet site that doesn't maintain a decent IT staff and upgrade to make the forum a respectable meeting place where real people can meet up with other real people.

For more than a decade I've occasionally been greeted by a message from the incompetent IT staff that players sitting out are doing themselves a disservice by not playing. In the real world this is a true statement. In Bizarro fucked up Internet poker world this is a true statement.

But the flavor of the day...fuck that...weeks....fuck that YEARS, excuse for being a dumb ass jack wipe and sitting is that you have timed out. You've been forced to sit because you logged into some weird turbo game that while you were getting buggered in the ass was more important than actually playing cards.

It's really difficult for me to believe that the players are so constantly douches and they would purposefully do this. It's more impossible for me to believe that the site is so fucked up that there is no concern for their player base and disconnection happens more often than it does is Scientology. It's all high speed cable modems, overpriced service providers and tech savvy hacker geeks. Somebody getting disconnected from the game is approaching a zero percent probability.
