    I know everyone has faced this problem before.<SPAN> </SPAN>You are sitting at the computer playing 2 or 3 games, one of which always seems to be a Multi-table tournament where you’ve managed to succeed at ‘donkey dodgeball’ and get down to the final few tables…….<SPAN> </SPAN>THEN IT HAPPENS…..

    You realize you have been holding that piss break off as long as humanly possible and the tournament break is just tooooooo far off.<SPAN> </SPAN>BUT, BUT, BUT….. you might miss a big hand.<SPAN> </SPAN>

    Now normally, it would be no big deal to get timed out and just come back when you are done…. BUT you haven’t been playing that many hands or…or….the payouts are bigger than your typical tournaments… and …and… you just can’t stand the idea that you may miss your only chance to have a monster and for the ATM across the table to pay you off!!!!

    Here is my story----<SPAN> </SPAN>

    (about 25 people left in a 50 buyin that had about 400 or so people start, I got an avg stack and I just can’t take it anymore, I Have to GO!)

    So I turned my chair, took off the iPod head phones and waited for the hand to end so I could fold UTG and stroll (who am I kidding, it’s running!) across the bedroom, down the hall and in the bathroom….. <SPAN> </SPAN>(I use UTG because on the next hand you act last pre-flop…anyways.)

    So I’m sitting, sitting, sitting….. the DUMBARSE WON’T CLICK THE DAMN CHECK BUTTON!!!!!!! And he finally checks and the other 2 guys do the same thing.<SPAN> </SPAN>Then turn seems like it might be somewhat better, but NOPE it never fails that this is going to be the longeeeeesssssttt hand in the history of online pokeeerrrrrrrr (thanks Lee, rigged obviously!). <SPAN> </SPAN>And you know that the next hand will undoubtedly be the fastest because you are gone!!

    Back to my story, so I finally get to check the ‘fold to any bet’ button with A6 soooteedd (man it was tough to know I had everyone sooooot dominated and still fold, BUT I gotta piss so bad the dog is crying like he needs to be let out himself simply because he feels bad for me…..

    I managed to make it undamaged and more importantly avoid the ‘performance’ syndrome (if you have no idea what that is, then I’m just joking!)<SPAN> </SPAN>YESSSSS I think that was record timing and I’m on my way back to the computer <SPAN> </SPAN><SPAN> </SPAN>WHEN…. (seriously, I’m not lying…. I swear on my tin hat)

    I managed to turn my ankle on the shoe I left in the hallway the day before….. My cat thought it was a good time to jump out at me from the spare bedroom and to avoid stepping on her….. I landed right on the side of my shoe….. Cat-1 v. beauright-0<SPAN> </SPAN>gg cleanliness!!!!!!!!!!

    So that added at leassssttttt 15 seconds to the piss break timer and I come around the corner to see TWO BLACK BULLETTSSSSS, the Ac, and the As!!!!!!!!!!!------GETTING TIMED OUT!

    Yes, I (somehow managing to only miss the one hand) was in the Big blind still and the hand was FOLDEDDDDD!!!….

    I looked at the action and see that two Idiots had managed to get all in pre-flop and BOTH of them had…… you guessed it………. AQo!!!!!! (not even soooteddd, geez)

    <SPAN> </SPAN>

    “DAMNIT, I would have been chip leader” I scream as the flop reads Kd 3h 5c …..turn Js, River Th!!!!!

    Thank God for the turned ankle, because I would have had no choice but to break AT LEAST the keyboard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<SPAN> </SPAN>

    For what it’s worth,

    I keep a glass bottle by my laptop at all times that way I don't have to visit the bathroom. Just have to make sure I don't confuse it for beer later.

    Definitely been there, every second feels like a minute and I'm out of the chair moving around the computer...lol

    I tell myself to not even look at the handhistory to see what I missed--just like not checking the lotto numbers when I didn't play.
