What's going on with ipoker lately?
A week or so ago I was playing and was disconnected from the server, my internet connection was fine and other things were still running properly and other players on the tables were getting disconnected too. However the support told me there was no problems and it must be a problem my end, funnily in the 770 section there is a thread with 2-3 others who at the same time had problems and were told the same that it is their problem.
So now I come on and find that all the NLHE tables no longer offer disconnection protection. This put me off playing as I have had disconnection problems about 10-20 times in 6months while playing on ipoker (some may have been my internet playing up but not all of them) and even at the lowest limits if you are multi tabling without the protection you could lose $2-$3 so it would add up quite quickly to a significant portion of your profits.
I know there are some people who abuse the protection and purposefully close down their client while they have a big draw and are faced with a bet they don't want to call so they can get to showdown possibly winning what is already in the pot. I have complained about a guy that did it to me regularly. But there are other ways around this than removing the protection completely like limiting it to 1 chance a week.
So that put me off playing too, then I come on today willing to play without the protection only to find no players on $10NL at all, when usually there is quite a few tables.
I quite like playing on ipoker despite a lot of bad criticism it seems to get about bots and stuff, I have been winning regular and slowly feeling I have been getting better with the more experience and never saw anything odd but it looks like it's over now.
