I'm pissed at something, I just don't know if it's my DSL, partypoker, or my computer. I can see the hand, but the icons on the screen are missing and I could not call the all-in. Next hand, everything was normal.

That's not the best part. Then I get the following hand against the same guy. Had I knocked him out before, I may not be crippled now. Notice the genius call of my all-in bet.

To conclude this lovely tournament, at the 25/50 blind level, I get 1 caller of my 700 all-in pre-flop bet. My AA had no chance against the powerhouse K9 suited.

PartyPoker players are the worst donkeys. It's like playing a 5.00 tourney on other sites. I am sick of the horrible calls the players make on Party. I can be ahead 90% and they will hit runner runner to make their straight / flush / insert whatever fucking hand that will beat me.
